Instead of worrying about failure when undergoing a change initiative, why not ask, “What happens if we succeed?” That is summarized sentiment from a discussion with Al Dea, admittedly a glass-half-full guy, on the Journal of Accountancy podcast. Dea, a leadership development consultant and founder of the organization The Edge of Work, is the keynote speaker at the Aug. 12–14 Governmental Accounting and Auditing Update Conference. In this episode, Dea explores pain points for dealing with almost constant change, how the last five years have affected our ability to manage change, and more. The <a href= "https://www.aicpa-cima.com/cpe-learning/conference/aicpa-cima-governmental-accounting-and-auditing-update-conference" target="_blank" rel="noopener">virtual conference</a> has an early-bird discount of $150 for attendees who register by Saturday. What you’ll learn from this episode: ·         Why humans tend to seek a “steady state.” ·         One exercise Dea recommends for professionals worried about what change might bring. ·         Why it sometimes may be impossible to have a playbook or manual for a change initiative. ·         The concept of being “sturdy” for others and how it can make a difference amid volatility. ·         Why it’s OK to not have all the answers for how to navigate change.
