18. www.pima.edu Our Leaders Role in Managing Change Thoughtful Leadership – Be Fair, Reasonable, and Consistent – Follow processes wisely – Listen to those who will be impacted – Look for indicators of what is happening (use all your senses) – Hold ourselves and others accountable – Limit black/white thinking (gray areas are the norm) (situational leadership) – Don't be afraid to take risks - inaction is more dangerous Mistakes happen. Learning and improvement are what matters – Make sure you have the right people in the right positions with the knowledge skills and abilities Slide Adapted from 8/25/15 Presentation: Creating a Culture of Change

19. www.pima.edu Continuing Reorganization Efforts Successful colleges need to focus on continuous improvement of our outcomes in service to our students and community – not on minimal compliance This change in focus will require more “organic” organizational structures and not traditional command and control This leaner organization structure will require individuals with the knowledge, skills and abilities to be successful in their roles

20. www.pima.edu Continuing Reorganization Efforts Areas of responsibility must be clearly defined and individuals must be allowed to have the authority to operate in their position and be accountable for their work This autonomy must begin with establishing the organizational structure by having leaders collaborate with those impacted by changes to define new structures Different parts of the college will be “ripe” for restructuring/change at varying times

21. www.pima.edu Continuing Reorganization Efforts When an area is restructured all individuals qualifications for new positions will be examined using processes developed to ensure that we have appropriately skilled individuals The college will attempt to assist any individuals that are displaced by restructuring in finding a position in or out of the college that appropriately aligns with their knowledge and skills The timeline for any restructuring will be developed to allow individuals to make appropriate preparations for the upcoming change

22. www.pima.edu Parting Thoughts How Do You React to Failures?

23. www.pima.edu Parting Thoughts We are facing some very challenging times. Don’t let any failures you experience get you down. Try to Remember: Walt Disney was fired from the Kansas City Star because he "lacked imagination and had no good ideas” Oprah Winfrey was fired from her job as a TV anchor in Baltimore for being "too emotionally invested in her stories" Henry Ford had two failed car companies prior to succeeding with Ford Motor Company Steven Spielberg was rejected by USC's Cinematic Arts School multiple times.
