Shift Happens

Although the sprint and the waitlist are in place, the table is also be set for a shift in focus. Reshuffling of priorities can be easy, as this chapter shows for Noney, who had to shift focus from stabilizing the IT infrastructure to another issue resulting from a government action. Fortunately, she did not have to go write up an entirely new strategy deployment plan for her team. By explaining the change, answering the questions from the rest of the team, she moved the number six priority to the number one slot, and the previous number one became number two, the previous number two became number three, and so on. However, reshuffling can be difficult due to miscommunication, as a result of which many employees can disengage themselves, and can end up mistrusting the leadership abilities of the leader.
