A nameless approach to change

Abstract

Which of the following would you rather hear in your organization as you sponsor major change? Here we go again! This time, the program of the month is about “intrapreneuring” and “partnering.” Just as with quality, we’ll have a big kick‐off event, where all the bosses show up and tell us how “mission critical” change is. Then we won’t see or hear from them again, and we’ll be left with two weeks’ worth of training to attend! or … What amazes me about this organization is the way senior leaders always seem to understand how to implement change – real change. My people can tell you ten ways right now by which elements of this change help them to get their jobs done better today.
