Change management skills are based in reasoning, analysis, and adaptation, but "people skills" are also important to success. This not only means being charismatic and well-spoken, but it also means being a courteous and observant listener. Business skills are vital to successful change management as well. This means understanding the inner workings of the business at hand in considerable detail, as well as appreciating the business context and external factors. It is important to be analytically minded, and attentive to detail, but also to be able to stand back and appreciate the bigger picture. Change management deals with dynamic issues in business, and being able to effectively analyze a fast-moving situation separates a good change management professional from a great one. A strong grasp on systematic analysis allows change management consultants to leverage technology, which has become an integral part of the field. Mastering this diverse array of skills makes for a highly effective change management professional. |
