Change is turbulent. Be clear, direct, and persistent.
Change is tough. Be encouraging.
Change takes time. Be understanding.
Change is complex. Be thorough and adaptable.
Change hurts. Be the one who believes in them more than they do.
After all, if you were part of an organization in change, wouldn’t you want your leader to be all that?
It takes a certain caring steadfastness to create change in an organization. We need not be the CEO (though it helps). Any of us can spur change with compelling vision, a win-win approach, coaching low-stress-highly-effective action, and a quiet knowing that we will succeed.
In your corner,
Mike
