Managing TransitionsChapter 4 Cheryl Di Grazia Ted Altenberg September 22, 2010
Leading People Through the Neutral Zone It’s not so much that we’re afraid of change or so in love with the old ways, but it’s that place in between that we fear…It’s like being between trapezes. It’s Linus when his blanket is in the dryer. There is nothing to hold on to. ~Marilyn Ferguson, American Futurist
Increase in staff turnover • People become polarized
Normalize the Neutral Zone • Redefine the Neutral Zone • Create Temporary Systems for the Neutral • Strengthen Intragroup Connections • Use a Transition Monitoring Team • Use Neutral Zone Creatively
This is a difficult time of disorientation-the time between letting go of the old and fully embracing the new.
