Hurricane Season a Good Time for Change Management

The 2006 Atlantic tropical hurricane season can be very good time for change management in your corporation or company. When dealing with disaster preparedness or even mandatory evacuations company management is put into crisis mode and as they handle this crisis and adversity they are forced to work together and bond together.

It is well known that the human species bonds well during catastrophic events or major crisis. For instance bonds between war buddies are formed during the heat of the battle. Sports teams developed bonds, which cannot be broken during championship play.

Adversity builds character and when the proper leadership is employed that character will come out in your management team and it is a really good time to see who is in it to win it and who cannot cut the mustard. This is why hurricane season can be a good time for change management.

It also allows for an under performing company executive to leave the company with a good excuse for their next employer of why they had to leave. Blame it on the hurricanes. Often, company executives will go on retreats and go down roaring rapids in fast-moving water canyons or go bungee jumping or some type of extreme sport to ensure that they work together and bond together.

But imagine doing all that for free because Mother Nature brought you in a catastrophic hurricane and you had to deal with the crisis together as a team. Believe it or not this is probably the best bang for the buck that a management team can have to bond together and you should consider this a blessing in disguise the 2006
