50 False hope Carol Kinsey Goman, PhD: managing continuous change Change has, well... changed. is different today it s more like a flood of continuous, overlapping and accelerating transitions that have turned many organizations upside down. Most people and processes are set up for continuity, not chaos. The shift from a change to constant change has upset the status quo we are by nature inclined to defend.

51 No answer On the question how do you manage it? But a lot of suggestions: what you should do from a human perspective For yourself as a teamleader For your team members like giving up the illusion of control, letting go, no more managing but coaching, communicating transparently, giving trust, being resilient, etc How do we deal with it.

70 5 huge convictions against coaching. 1. Coaching is something that comes above our normal work. It requires extra time. 2. Coaching is advising. 3. Coaching is dangerous. 4. Asking questions, listening with empathy and without (pre)judice is against nature and a waste of time. 5. Coaching is not in our culture.
