Rationale for the change

Change can happen in many ways and there is so many factors involved. As mentioned on my favorite leadership blog: Leadership in Practice, change fails when employees dont grasp the rationale for the change. By rationale meaning the why in the change. Why is it happening? Does the change only happen because some leader have found out that this should be better for the employees or its the latest hype? Head over there and read the post, it's a good one.

As i commented on George Amblers blog, it is more than just the rationale in change. It's the what and how as well. Many of these decisions should be taken by the employees afflicted by the change. They should know best how to perform changes. At least most of the time.

Maybe its naive to think that way, but to believe in people make them do incredible things.
