The world is constantly changing and organizations must adapt, too. What worked today won&#8217;t necessarily work tomorrow. <\/li><li><strong>People don&#8217;t like change<\/strong>. Understand what motivates people to get them to accept and come along with the change.<\/li><li><strong>Have a clear objective<\/strong>. Share a compelling vision of where the change will take you and connect the change to your organization&#8217;s core values.<\/li><li><strong>Don&#8217;t dictate<\/strong>. Listen to the views of stakeholders to understand where they&#8217;re coming from. Iterate the change with their views in mind.<\/li><li><strong>Make the decision<\/strong>. Once you&#8217;ve decided to make a change, stick to your plan. If there&#8217;s a clear vision and compelling reasons, don&#8217;t doubt your resolve.<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"ew-note\" data-type=\"default\"><div class=\"ew-note-body\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Samantha Glover<\/h2>\n\n<p><a class=\"ew-link\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/samantha-glover-a74433119\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/samantha-glover-a74433119\/\" target=\"_blank\">Samantha Glover<\/a> is the Chief Executive Officer at Healthwatch Essex, an independent charity that makes evidence-based recommendations to the NHS and social care authorities.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let&#8217;s Act: pave the way for change<\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Stakeholder management <\/strong>is one of the most crucial aspects of change.
