Ways to Avoid Change Fatigue in 10 words

Dr. Elizabeth Moran advises that leading through multiple ongoing changes is becoming more common. It is important for leaders to help their teams remain resilient in order to handle the intensity of changes that may arise. Resilience is not about shielding oneself from normal human emotions, but rather, building an awareness of these emotions and making a conscious choice to not give in to fearful or anxious thoughts. It is crucial for leaders to set clear expectations for their teams upfront, as changes may shift over time. Leaders should also help their team members identify and continue doing the work they enjoy in the future state, even if it requires adjustments. Celebrating both big and small wins along the way helps build resilience and reduces change fatigue. In essence, leaders must find ways to engage their team members in the change process, promote open communication, and support their team members through the ups and downs of change.
