Any process of change is only possible through people. Therefore, during this process, everyone involved must be aware of what will actually be done, as well as the extent of their responsibility, and the entire process must be implemented, in fact, through open, free and transparent communication.

Conflicts are inevitable, and all resistance created must be overcome. There is a need for transparency, to be accessible, to remember that people like to be petted, that they also have egos, but that there is no need to pat them on the head. Simply telling the truth and letting them know the risks can be a good alternative.

In the process of change, it is important to have a 'leader', someone responsible for managing and driving the change, ensuring that things are done within the stipulated deadlines, that commitments are met and, in addition, that they drive the internal transformation process so that everyone involved understands and feels effectively in charge of this change. It also means making every possible effort to make the change happen effective.

Much of the 'manager's' time should be spent talking to the people involved about the need for change. He or she should explain what needs to be changed and what each person should do to collaborate in the process. In addition, he or she should show that individual and professional growth are closely related to the ability to adapt to the new and, most importantly, to make them feel like "agents" of change.

It is important to keep in mind that change management is a multidisciplinary action, which must involve all aspects of a company so that procedures can be implemented, new alternatives can be adopted and, most importantly, people's resistance to change, which requires special attention and, if not approached appropriately, can compromise the entire process.

Change is not achieved by simply introducing new elements, such as processes and technologies. The central focus of change needs to be people. Otherwise, it will not happen.

Negotiating is a common practice in everyday life and in professional life. Executing plans and strategies are the biggest challenges in today's business. Adjusting priorities based on strategies and plan execution seems to be a never-ending battle.

Based on these questions, author Chris McChesney, among other leaders, developed a methodology called “The 4 Disciplines of Execution”, with the aim of developing leaders with the purpose of making changes in all those involved in an organization. The objective is to define an essential goal, focus on a direction, create a tool that will encompass the participants, generating engagement behaviors throughout the team.

For efficient business management, it is necessary to clarify a strategic plan. However, to put it into practice, it is essential that each manager is well aware of their roles and limits. This will provide the indispensable support for the success of the organization, as it will highlight the reason for its existence.

When we talk about productivity, what tools can we use, which apps are interesting, how do I control and divide my time? Many, many techniques that are of absolutely no use if you are not in balance with the pillars of productivity:

Body
Your physical structure, which supports the entire complex organism of cells, nerves, muscles, organs and, most importantly, protects your large brain mass. It plays a vital role, because if it is not in harmony, it will affect your performance. It is the back pain when sleeping or sitting, it is that feeling of tiredness all the time, the suffering when moving. Those who do not take care of their body will suffer.
Forget about aesthetics, focus on training so that your MOVEMENT is beautiful, so that functioning is unrestricted. Grace is in the feeling of being prepared for battle, and this is the perception when practicing regular physical activity, when stretching several times a day, lubricating your gears, creating the effect of continuous energy propulsion.
Stay focused. Stay strong and stay productive.
