The transportation industry is changing briskly as autonomous vehicles, connected vehicles, big data, bike/car sharing, and more force rethinking of business models, investments, and workforce skills. Additionally, the workforce itself is changing as Millennials occupy more jobs. Whether it's in ITE or your organization, change can be tricky. Advances in neuroscience provide clues to why the brain struggles with change and what strategies will ease the transformation. Since the brain is programmed to work against change, here's how a leader can effectively manage and lead a team through change: I. Be realistic. 2. Set and reward new goals. 3. Provide choices. 4. Acknowledge the stress of change. 5. Foster a pleasant workplace. Change, although challenging, is part of the future in transportation. By understanding how brain processes change, leaders and professionals at all levels may tap into this insight to make the journey productive and rewarding. And, everyone can smile along the way.
