Change Management – Part 61

Change Management Fundamental Basics “Gangnam THE ROCK Style” – Part 61

Christiano will learn over time that during periods of change, organizations should promote the belief that Hyperboles best illustrate that with honesty, integrity and respect, one can stand tall without having to resort to immoral, unethical or other Barbarian behaviours of cowards without any honour, shame or gall.

In my opinion, organizations need to embrace the notion that during periods of change it is critical to insure that policies and procedures are in place to identify individuals contaminated with “Metaphoric Multi-Personality Syndrome” as a by product of significant change.

It is important for organizations to acknowledge that during periods of change, the greatest risk to successful change is posed by contamination of the mass with “Metaphoric Multi-Personality Syndrome” as opposed to a simple “Direct Unique Personality Syndrome”.

In this New World Order (NWO) where there are persistent changes, be it through mergers and acquisitions or restructurings and reorganizations, the only constant which is assured over time is that of change. In order to be able to compete in this New World Order (NWO), there is one of two generic techniques.

The first technique which I refer to as “Metaphoric Multi-Personality Syndrome” is predicated on the notion that one is in a “Hunger Games” environment whereby one must do anything and everything to survive such that one must play psychological warfare games to rise or else this will lead to one’s demise.

For example, Gladiator A is stronger than Gladiator B but because Gladiator B hits hard with a “South Paw (Left-Hand)”, both Gladiators know that they are on an equal fighting field of 50%/ 50% since all it takes is one strike by Gladiator B with their Left-Hand to knock-out stronger Gladiator A.

Gladiator C on the other hand is also a “South Paw (Left-Hand)” but Gladiator A knows that Gladiator C has an injury such that Gladiator A prefers to fight Gladiator C.

Therefore, Gladiator A tells Gladiator B that Gladiator C slept with Gladiator B’s girlfriend such that Gladiator B goes after Gladiator C in an uncontrolled non-focused state of rage.

As a result, Gladiator C who is injured but focused is able to defend against Gladiator B and take Gladiator B out with one hit due to one opening in Gladiator B’s moment of weakness due to rage.

Gladiator A then tells Gladiator C that he lied to Gladiator B about Gladiator C such that Gladiator A is able to take out Gladiator C with one hit due to one opening in Gladiator C’s moment of weakness.

As is evident from my Hyperbole above, this type of approach is destructive, counterproductive and chaotic by its nature. For the record, Hyperbole is defined as the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. Hyperboles may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create strong impressions but they are not meant to be taken literally.

Now I would like to focus on the second technique which I refer to as “Direct Unique Personality Syndrome” whereby one behaves with honesty, integrity and respect for oneself, respect for others and respect for God such that one is able to stand tall without having to resort to immoral, unethical or other Barbarian behaviours of cowards without any honour, shame or gall.

In summary, I refer to “Change Management Gangnam THE ROCK Style” as the belief that Hyperboles best illustrate that with honesty, integrity and respect, one can stand tall without having to resort to immoral, unethical or other Barbarian behaviours of cowards without any honour, shame or gall.
