HIGH PERFORMING TEAMS COURSE by Ken Thompson - Topic 4 - Change Management for HPTs

“Change is inevitable – apart from vending machines”

In this 8-minute video, the fourth in the 5-part series, Ken Thompson describes a systematic way to address the change management issues involved in creating a High Performing Team.

One of the most common problems in attempting to implement HPTs is overly focussing on the process aspects but neglecting the change management aspects resulting in a sterile process exercise which is not sustainable and produces no real benefits.

Change Management in an HPT context is about getting team members individually bought-in to and equipped for the change so that you are not the only person taking leadership responsibilities for the team. Change Management for HPTs is really about creating a team where every member is a leader in some domain within the team.
