In the past, in order to get something done, you did something. This normally involved taking off your jacket; possibly even loosening your tie. It could be you needed gloves and goggles, maybe a mate to hold your tools, but generally, you got on and did it.
Now, dear me no.

Doing Something the People Way
Whilst doing stuff, you'd be well advised to utilise a methodology known as 'People Side of Change'. It offers a 'best practice framework for identifying and managing the five critical success factors in any change'.
- Thinking, planning and doing the right ‘people things' throughout your change initiative
- Building and sustaining the right levels of commitment to make your change work
- Understanding what people issues could be enablers or blockers
- Focusing on those issues that are critical for the success of your change increasing the capacity for benefits realisation
- Applying sound change management principles
Five things that are very important when taking a 'people side of change' approach to doing something.
