Jeffery David Whippo explains that failed change efforts can lead to declines in morale, increases in absenteeism, and more frequent turnover as productivity suffers. He believes that change efforts often fail due to poor execution by leadership rather than a lack of leadership. Whippo also states that everyone in the organization must be involved in and take ownership of change for it to be effective, and that effective coaching can support sustainable behavioral changes by creating a non-threatening learning environment.

1. Jeffery David Whippo Explains Negative
Consequences of Failed Change Effort
Jeffery David Whippo explains the negative consequences of a failed
changed effort in organization. According to him, negative behavior
includes morale declines, absenteeism increases, organizational turnovers
that occur more frequently, and productivity suffers. Moreover, teams are
less likely to collaborate openly and honestly. Besides, organizational
stakeholders actively and passively resist.
Change efforts fail because of leadership. Often, it is not leadership that is
lacking, but execution is the problem. It is sometimes due to lack of
compelling reasons to change. After all, even a best plan needs to be
accompanied with a great story to support it. It is important that your story
builds a bridge between today’s challenges and a brighter tomorrow.
He believes that while some leaders understand the concepts of how to
lead change, they are not able to act on that knowledge which causes their
leadership to be ineffective. According to him, everyone in the organization,
not just the leaders, must be involved and take ownership for specific parts
of the organizational change.
Being a respected business professional and educator, Jeffery D Whippo
shares his views that effective coaching skills are developed to help others
achieve professional goals. Effective coaching skills may support
sustainable change to behaviors or ways of thinking while also facilitating
learning and development.
He further states that the coach needs to create a non-threatening learning
environment so that the development of the follower is not merely a one-
time training event, but an ongoing learning process.
