Beginning the Cycle of Change

August 15, 2011

by Steve Player

When you are in the dark, you do not perceive any need to change. You are happy and comfortable with things the way they are. This can be true for groups as well as individuals. This position enjoys a high degree of inertia as we stay in the routine of what we know. It is a comfortable state (except for those opportunities that keep getting missed and those nagging problems that keep creeping up).

The cycle of change begins when someone sees the challenge. This could be a definite threat to yourself or to your organization. It could also be an opportunity for growth or expansion. Either way, seeing the challenge awakens the need to change.

Change brings fear as there

Change brings fear as there is a sense of the unknown and hence a sense of loss of control and is very much part of our working life. It will take time and effort for employees to understand what the change is about and what it involves. Tax Relief

Cycle of Change

This cycle of change model has close similarities to one used in therapy and coaching. Its by Prochaska and Di Clemente in 1982. They looked at what enabled people to successfully make changes (particularly) smokers. They found that all successful changers went through a specific cycle. The only stage missing in your article is that after the action phase there often comes a relapse to old behaviours which needs to be expected and dealt with.

As a coach I work with senior managers and they can relate well to the Prochaska and Di Clemente model. Plus it's backed up with a lot of evidence

Change in direction

I fell into a similar type of comfort zone that you mentioned. It took me a while to realise it but once I did it hit me like lightening. I changed a great deal and can't help but think that all those wasted years could have been put to better use.
Great article and I will continue to look forward to your next piece.
