Adapting to Change as a Team

Suggested Strategy: In a group setting, begin with the awareness of the

group’s current ability to navigate change and how they initially react

when changes arise. Using a whiteboard, have the group collaborate on

creating a strategy that will help them become more successful in this

area.

Suggested Questions:

→ Rating Question: On a scale of one to six, with six being complete

flexibility and acceptance, and one being the opposite, where would you

rate our team on how well you adapt to change? *If their answer is

below a six* What actions can we take together to help the team reach a

six?

→ Risk Question: What risks do you think the team might assume by not

allowing ourselves to adapt to change?

Suggested Activities:

→ Whiteboard Coaching: On the left side of a whiteboard, ask the team

to define their current ability to adapt to change, or what their gut

reactions usually are when changes arise. On the right side of the

board, ask the group to come up with a definition of what it means to

seamlessly adapt to changes and how those abilities can help bring

greater success to the team. Then, erase the left side of the board and

have the group create a specific list of actions they will take to reach the

defined behavior on the right side of the board.
