In the face of change, morale thrives when people feel seen, heard and valued.

Los procesos de cambio en la organizaciones son algo constante, pueden ser más exporádicos o menos, dependiendo de las necesidades de la empresa, sus directrices y objetivos. Los lideres debemos siempre inculcar en nuestros equipos que el Cambio es Constante, razón por la cual es relevante desarrollar y fomentar una cultura de adaptación y resiliencia entre los todos los talentos. Lograr mantener a los equipos tranquilos se logra teniendo comunicación permanente con ellos y encaminándolos siempre por la senda en donde sus fortalezas y habilidades puedan generar mayor valor para ellos y sus metas. Cuando los talentos conocen y aceptan sus capacidades, ellos mismos contribuyen a los cambios.

Communication, empathy, and support maintain morale in the grueling process of change. Acknowledge your team's struggles, understand their efforts and problems, create an environment where they will feel free to discuss any issues. Make them a part of solving these issues, and appreciate small wins to indicate progress towards that bigger vision of the change. Provide the training, resources, and encouragement that will give people confidence in adapting. Showing you really care and being open will help engender resilience and cohesion in your team.

I focus on creating a supportive environment that balances emotional well-being and performance through: 1. Use the Pressure-Performance Curve Ask the team to plot where they are—stretch, strain, or crisis—and ask how we can support to keep everyone in the optimal stretch zone 2. Apply the Change Curve I map where the team is. Then decide what is needed at each stage: communication, motivation, or capability building. 3. Ensure Psychological Safety I double down on fostering a space where people feel safe to speak up, share ideas, and admit challenges without fear of judgment. 4. Use Solution-Focused Techniques By starting with the end in mind and reverse-engineering solutions, I help shift the focus from problems to solutions.

To maintain morale during tough changes, I prioritize creating a culture of transparency and openness. Change is for the better, but challenges will happen—I want my team to feel empowered to identify and address them together. Instead of hiding difficulties, we focus on spotting potential challenges early, assessing their impact across teams or divisions, and actively collaborating to solve them. This approach not only strengthens teamwork but also builds trust and confidence in the change process. How do you keep your team motivated during change?

During a challenging change process, I once led a team through a major organizational shift. Initially, uncertainty created tension, but clear and empathetic communication turned the tide. I explained the “why” behind the change, listened to concerns, and involved the team in shaping solutions. Most importantly, I reminded the team of the bigger picture: how this change aligned with our shared vision. This purpose fueled resilience. By fostering trust, empowering individuals, and leading by example, morale not only recovered—it strengthened.

I communicate clearly and highlight small wins to build momentum. Change is like overcoming inertia. It is tough at first, but easier once it gets going. By showing the big picture and celebrating each step, the team stays motivated.

Navigating the change in phases and allowing dialogue throughout the journey Constant connect and open conversation during the process;

Any change process is challenging and at times can get overwhelming. Keep the communication honest, open and consistent. It is imperative for the team to know and more importantly understand the key benefits resulting from the change. Be available to support the team through this phase

When leading a team through a tough change process, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. From recent experiences, I’ve learned that maintaining morale requires empathy, patience, and clarity. Sometimes, simply lending a listening ear or sharing my own challenges helps the team feel heard and supported. Giving them time to process the “why” behind the change reduces anxiety, and even when the logic doesn’t immediately make sense, the bigger picture becomes clearer over time. Empowering the team to develop their own strategies for coping with the change fosters ownership and resilience. In the end, staying connected and building an environment of trust helps the team to navigate tough transitions.
