I was moderating an employee focus group about change , and during the discussion an educator in the group shared this Buddhist quote: “When the student is ready the teacher will appear.”. It was a moment of brilliance. I could see the concept resonated with everyone. It was almost as if I was privy to a collective “ah-ha” moment.

Encourage your team to focus on substance over form at least in their readouts to you. I’ve worked with companies where the employees tell me the unspoken rule… “Never ever bring up the the truth in a focus group.” ” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard about employees being coached (and in some cases even “bribed” with extra treats to paint a rosy picture on an employee survey or in a focus group.)

I’ve heard these words so frequently, in focus groups, in one-on-ones, and even behind closed doors with seasoned managers. “This is so stupid–they asked for my opinion and then ignored it. I don’t know why I even bother! From now on, I’m going to just shut my mouth and do my work.” ” “Arghhh. We keep rehashing the same conversations. Why can’t we make a simple @#%*&% decision?”

Run surveys and do focus groups and one-on-one interviews to get quantitative and qualitative data on the virtual work issues in your organization.

In every company I work with I hear a consistent theme in focus groups: “I wish our managers had tougher and more consistent standards. Kendra is late because she was at the hospital with her sick child and barely got home to take a shower… got it. Every now and then managers must make exceptions, no doubt. But now, John is late too, and you feel bad saying something to him, since you just let Kendra off the hook.

I’ve been in enough focus groups across enough companies to tell you–when you promote the jerk, people assume it’s the jerk behavior that sealed the deal. Oh he’s good. Very good. He gets sh__ done. It’s hard to argue with the results. So what if he’s ruffling a few feathers… with his team, with his peers, with HR, with IT? The better he does, the better you look.

When effective change management is not implemented early and consistently throughout a major change, whether focused on new technology, business models, regulations, merger, and acquisitions, or other drivers, without thoughtful attention to the people side of change, resistance inevitably will grow and harden, leading to unnecessary confusion, delays in adoption and lost productivity. Change is a permanent feature of organizations; resistance is an expected part of the journey.

Nothing is more disconcerting that watching employees share relentless feedback in focus groups and having execs finally pay attention when the consultant comes in and says the same thing. Great commercials, strong PR, a brilliant social media strategy all warrant effort when building your company’s reputation.
