When your team resists change during restructuring, inspiring motivation and adaptability is key: ‣ Start by acknowledging their concerns. People often resist change because of fear or uncertainty, so being empathetic helps them feel heard. ‣ Paint a clear picture of the benefits. Show them how the restructuring will improve their work, whether it’s through new opportunities or a smoother process. ‣ Involve them in the transition. When team members feel like they have a voice in the change, they’re more likely to embrace it. ‣ Celebrate small wins along the way. Recognizing progress can boost morale and show that the change is already paying off. With clear communication and involvement, you can turn resistance into momentum.

Se houver uma comunicação clara dos motivos e resultados das mudanças, e envolver todos na projeção do caminho, reconhecendo as dores e mudanças nos processos de todos, haverá menor resistência da equipe nas mudanças e reestruturações.

To inspire motivation and adaptability during restructuring: Communicate Clearly: Provide transparent information about the changes, reasons, and benefits, reducing uncertainty and building trust. Involve the Team: Engage them in decision-making where possible, giving them a sense of ownership and control. Highlight the Benefits: Explain how the changes will positively impact the team’s goals, efficiency, or career growth. Offer Support: Provide resources, training, or mentoring to help them adapt to new roles or processes. Recognize Efforts: Acknowledge their adaptability and contributions, boosting morale and motivation.

Ensure that the team understands the reason for restructuring and that most likely, whether they like it or not, the restructuring is going to take place. However, be emphatic towards all your team members and be sure to offer your full support during the restructuring. Listen to their grievances and see if some adjustments can be made because sometimes just listening and showing that you understand their point of view can go a long way.
