In the latest episode of “Sal Silvester on the Future of Leadership,” we explore the impact of change on human performance in the workplace. As part of Season 7’s focus on elevating leadership and team dynamics, we had the privilege of speaking with John M. Fisher, a chartered constructivist psychologist and expert in change management, leadership, and personal development. Fisher has decades of experience helping organizations navigate the often turbulent waters of change, making him an ideal guest for this discussion.
Understanding Human Responses with the Change Curve
John Fisher introduced us to his renowned “Process of Transition” model, also known as the Fisher Curve. This change curve maps out the emotional responses individuals experience during periods of transition, from initial shock to eventual acceptance. By understanding these stages, leaders can better support their teams, anticipate challenges, and foster smoother transitions within their organizations. Fisher’s model has been widely used to guide both individuals and organizations toward more productive, future-focused outcomes.
Key Strategies for Leading Through Change
Fisher provided several practical strategies for leaders looking to manage change more effectively. Here are some key takeaways from our conversation:
Recognizing emotional responses to change: Understanding the emotional journey that teams go through during transitions is critical for offering the right support.
Utilizing the Fisher Curve: The Change Curve helps leaders map out the stages of transition and provides a framework for guiding teams through difficult periods.
Building adaptability: By encouraging adaptability within teams, leaders can enhance both individual and collective performance, making organizations more resilient.
