In this concluding segment of his management podcast series, the speaker revisits the change curve model, emphasizing that compressing the curve lowers the depression point but still requires time for people to adjust. He advises leaders to accelerate change without forcing the full depressive dip, to recognize that performance may temporarily decline, and to focus intensive support on employees who are still in transition rather than those already committed. He also highlights that businesses often face multiple, overlapping change curves, which interact and compound the complexity of managing change.

All right, if I go back to the curve here to finish in this part, think about it. If you squeeze a curve, the depression point is going down. So change takes time. You want to go as fast as possible from here to there, but you'll have to give people time. Try to compress without going to the full depression. Never forget, it gets better before here. So don't assume that, hey, I need to maintain the status quo because it's Working. No, it's not. It's going to drop down. People go back and forth. Yes, they do. And this is why you really, really need to spend the most time with people over here. Go here. You don't need to take care of them because they're already committed. And lastly, think about you have multiple curves. Business is all about multiple changes. So they go and interact, overlap between them. Thank you. Bye.
