Change and managing change are common among managers, management experts, and consultants, but rarely do people pay any attention to the effects of high rates of change, or difficult to manage change (like layoffs) on managers and executives, Of course managers are subject to the same reactions, resistances and strains. Some types of change, such as restructuring, or downsizing can put considerable strain on the leaders of an organization, discuss those strains, how it affects the manager leading that change, and his or her ability to undertake the leadership role.

1 Stress
2 Denying
idea posted by Gargi Sinha Senior Consultant, Hewitt Associates
I think it imposes on those undergoing the change. Managers, because they have obligations to their staff, not only have to deal with change as employees but also need to carry some of the concerns of their staffs. In the case of downsizing, the stress levels can be extremely high, because the manager is charged with conveying very upsetting information.

Yes you are right sinha, but in times of change, it is critical that you recognize that it may cause you to act in ways that are less effective than usual.  As with anything connected with change, the major concern is not short term but long term. If your stress levels result in marked loss of effectiveness, the risk is that a vicious cycle will be set up, where ineffective leadership results in creating more long term problems, which increases your stress, which reduces your effectiveness even more.....

Denying

idea posted by Rohit Khanna Project Leader/Managing Consultant, Accenture
You know usually, the denying manager takes a very logical approach to change.  Decisions get made, systems are put in place, or new procedures are developed.  Unfortunately, this "logical" approach denies the impact of change on the people in the organization. The denying manager tends also refuse to understand "what the big deal is", and shows little empathy with employees in the organization.

Also with avoidance the denying tactic tends to drop the manager's credibility and destroy any personal loyalty on the part of employees.
