7. Change, Easier said than done!

8. What is Change? • Is it good or bad? • Beneficial or Harmful?

9. How do you handle change?

10. Managing Change • People generally do not change • Some people handle change better than others • Managers can start the learning process by demonstrating a good, positive attitude, and consider the following:

11. The 5 C’s • Commitment • Control • Challenge • Connection • Communication

12. Commitment • A clear sense of purpose • Can help you redirect efforts in line with the current change • Key Questions: • What is the main goal of the task you are completing? • Mission statement • Why did you run for this position?

14. Control • … grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

15. Challenge • Try to view change as an opportunity • You get to learn new skills and to grow • Have a positive attitude about what has happen and relay it to your board

16. Connection • Make sure your board feels that they are part of a large whole • A team working together. • Reassurance! & Compliments!

17. Communication is Key Lack of Communication is the best way to alienate or anger your board Open and honest communication can go a long way in keeping your board comfortable in their role

18. Conversation Scenario!

20. Communication is Key • Give people as much information as possible, as soon as possible. • Even if the information is unpleasant, share it! • Be accurate & clear!

21. The 5 C’s • Commitment • Control • Challenge • Connection • Communication

22. Knowing Yourself!

23. Take care of yourself • You are going through the same changes as your board. • Consult with others- Take advantage of everyone’s problem solving skills • You don’t need to have all the answers!

24. Delegate! - show trust in your board by allowing them to help you! (Give yourself a break) • Rest! - Stress consumes a great deal of energy • Talk to family & friends- keep in perspective the importance of those people close to you

25. Keep a Balance • Look beyond the details • Survey the “big picture” for your own sense of direction

26. Chapter Exercise • Planning travel to FRC. • And 2 weeks before the conference • 16 people paid for registration by assigned deadline • You have 4 hotel rooms – paid for by your Engineering Dean • Rented a bus for all your chapter members, Maximum 25 people on bus

27. Chapter Exercise • 4 more people want to attend conference, have paid registration and expect you to cover their travel • Engineering Dean can only fund 2 out 4 rooms now • Day of 2 of your board members show up late and miss the bus • 6 people show up trying to get on the bus, stating they paid registration
