inspirational leader vision
Leaders establish the vision for the future and set the strategy for getting there.
leadership communication ideas
One of the most common ways to overcome resistance to change is to educate people about it beforehand. Communication of ideas helps people see the need for and the logic of a change. The education process can involve one-on-one discussions, presentations to groups, or memos and reports.
creating people empowering
Leadership is about setting a direction. It's about creating a vision, empowering and inspiring people to want to achieve the vision, and enabling them to do so with energy and speed through an effective strategy. In its most basic sense, leadership is about mobilizing a group of people to jump into a better future.
issues people culture
The central issue is never strategy, structure, culture, or systems. The core of the matter is always about changing the behavior of people.
mean organization creating
We are always creating new tools and techniques to help people, but the fundamental framework is remarkably resilient, which means it must have something to do with the nature of organizations or human nature.
heart emotion
The heart of change is in the emotions.
thinking people different
Leadership is different from management, but not for the reasons most people think.
thinking people feelings
People change what they do less because they are given an analysis that shifts their thinking than because they are shown a truth that influences their feelings.
thinking people needs
I'm impatient. Typically people think they know all about change and don't need help. Their approach tends to be more management-oriented than leadership-oriented. It's very frustrating.
change thinking organization
Anyone in a large organization who thinks major change is impossible should probably get out.
change way sticks
In the final analysis, change sticks when it becomes the way we do things around here.
change competition next
The rate of change is not going to slow down anytime soon. If anything, competition in most industries will probably speed up even more in the next few decades.
