The Bells and whistles of team development

In teams, after reorganizations or other major changes, the sense of „we“ is often lost, and communication suffers. In „corona times“ and increasingly virtual collaboration with teams distributed across different locations or home offices, collaboration has not become easier either. Some employees have never even seen each other in „real life.“ Managers are now required to work with their teams. Often, they consider take only the „hard facts“. Team actions that are fun are often not taken seriously.
But how can you trust someone you only know from work as a colleague? Someone with whom you have never laughed? How to value someone fully if their strengths are not visible? How to foster their potential in the best possible way?

Transformation or Change

Change management does not turn the caterpillar into a butterfly. There is a need for change, so maybe the caterpillar grows hair. The next change is coming up and maybe the caterpillar develops stripes in signal color to protect itself from predators. A change leads from an initial situation A to point B and is largely plannable.

A transformation is more. The caterpillar dies to rise as a butterfly. A butterfly will never be a caterpillar again. The butterfly is a holistically new being. The transformation is complete.
