Hayley has been working with four different groups of managers in a public sector organisation. Through group coaching, the managers have been exploring how to lead and manage change well. But a common question that came up across the different groups was, “What do I do if I don’t agree with the change I’m being asked to manage?” The uncomfortable truth is this, sometimes as a manager, you’ll be asked to do things that you’re not completely bought into. In this episode, Hayley shares five practical things you can do in this scenario. By the end of this minisode, you’ll come away with some ideas and at the very least, some reassurance. Hayley uses her skills and expertise as a psychologist, coach, management trainer, and former people manager herself, to help managers like you. She has worked with thousands of managers over almost 30 years and the tips and ideas she shares will help you the way they’ve helped others. The aim of this podcast is to do exactly what it says… to help you manage with confidence.

In this episode, we hear from organisational development and change expert, Ann-Marie Barlow. Ann-Marie has a wealth of experience from multiple perspectives. First, being on the receiving end of poorly managed change; next, as a manager leading change; now, as an expert who consults and advises organisations how to lead and manage change well. In other words, she’s a veteran of change. We look at the importance of understanding and acknowledging emotions during change and change coming in all shapes and sizes. We discuss the power of endings and beginnings and why it’s important to mark these properly. We explore uncertainty and why this is a key thing for managers to get comfortable with as we head further into the 21st century. And, of course, we talk about managers as role models to their teams during change.
