Change is part of your culture; it all starts with culture!
Do people resist change?
“People do not resist change.They resist the uncertainty of change that is perceived
forced on them.”
Rule:
Culture will eat strategy for breakfast
Your culture, like your vision, must be measured and observed daily!
To drive culture and change, 4 key elements MUST be in place:
If any of these are missing, conflict will exist
A clear VISION and STRATEGY
A group of STRONG LEADERS driving goals
A sense of URGENCY
EVERYONE INVOLVED in planning and KNOWING the business reality
Clear and aligned expectations are needed
Always explain the ‘why’ before the ‘how’!
Fingerprints on strategy and vision
In the absence of a real vision, people will be driven by their own agendas
Stop trying to push a rope
Business thinkers…the more involved, the better
Don’t forget the recognition
Resisting technology is futile

Great leaders coach and mentor every day
Great leaders ‘live’ the organization’s vision and inspire others to do the same
“They may forget what you said — but they will never
forget how you made them feel.”
—Maya Angelou

not in the room.”
