Generating flexibility
in a prescriptive organisation
A recently appointed director, with many years of working for a very prescriptive
NHS, had to handle some dramatic changes with the restructuring of the
service through the merger of three organisations. As a result of coaching
with Amicas, she challenged herself to behave more flexibly. Rather than
referring to precedents, the director took an innovative approach to preparing
her staff for the transition. As part of the preparation for merger, she
facilitated individuals and teams to produce a history of their successes,
and to publicise these to the local community and other organisations.
As a result, morale was higher, and her staff were ready to take control
of the impression they created on the incoming CEO and Chair, putting
them in strong positions to achieve the posts they wanted in the new organisation. |
