Weathering Change: Four Steps for Success
It can be tough to stick with your outdoor exercise program when the seasons change and temperatures drop. Cold weather and less daylight may work against your fitness schedule, but it’s important to stay active throughout the year.
Before you put away the running shoes, remember that successful winter-time workouts simply require a little planning and safety precautions, including:
- Layering your clothes
- Protecting your extremities
- Remembering sunscreen
- Drinking plenty of fluids
- Paying attention to the wind chill
Changes in your professional environment also require planning to avoid setbacks. Change can instill fear among employees – which can lead to an unpleasant workplace, worrying and decreased productivity. Steven Warrilow , a change management expert, offers four comprehensive steps to successfully implement change.
- Clarity in all areas – fully understanding the business need, specifics, benefits and impact of the change.
- Consistent leadership – convince employees that the change is necessary and lead them through it. Address the emotional impacts of the change but do not gloss over the truths.
- Constant communication – make sure your message is clear, accurate, timely and open to feedback.
- Capability and resources – translate your vision into actionable steps.
Change in the workplace is inevitable. As a leader, you must continually strive to understand and convey the need for change while proactively preparing for it.



Create the next level with a memorable logo.
A logo crosses all culture and boundaries, communicate words, ideas and speak about what kind of company you are. Though a logo is
small but creates a huge impact on the image of your company. Some logos are so powerful that they become universally known as
symbols. Logo gives your firm an identity and helps customers recognize your particular product thereby reducing your selling
effort and costs. Take examples like McDonalds, IBM, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Nokia, Toyota, etc. A logo builds the firms image and
also helps to add prestige to the product or service which allows the firm to charge slightly higher price. In fact on paper almost
all of the firms are same so what makes them unique?
