The Connection Between Lean, Respect For People (RFP) and Emotional Trauma

Picture this.

Your company is in the middle of a Lean transformation.

Progressing to your future state requires a significant reorganization of the work.

Your consultants have recommended a communication plan to help everyone understand the changes, how they will be impacted, and why this significant change is good for them and the company.

When you strip away the “spin,” the essence of the change management plan is to tell your people change is coming to your lives, and you should love it!

I have seen this play out countless times in my career.

The company’s change management plan is missing an important element.

This scenario misses or chooses to ignore the enormous emotional component the changes will inflict on people.

It also neglects to consider what other stresses people may be experiencing that compound the impact on them.

In this short video taken from our Respect For People (RFP) webinar, Mark DeLuzio, architect of the Danaher Business System, discusses RFP and the role emotional trauma plays in lean transformations.

GriefLeaders™ can help you navigate the emotional components associated with change in your organization.
