Think of the wasted energy and resources lost when over 50% of change initiatives fail to meet expectations. We must improve the odds. In her new book Leadersheep: Saving the Herd, Dr. Mary Lippitt introduces a tested and groundbreaking five-step framework for successfully implementing change. The book highlights include:
- Recognizing that new vision must be accompanied by execution planning, or it will become a temporary hallucination.
- Open dialog and listening increase creative problem-solving, collaboration, trust and confidence
- Persuasion must target three prevalent fears during a change project.
- Resource management planning creates either commitment or restraint.
- Leadership entails more than personal style in achieving results.
- Problem-prevention skills produce more benefits than problem-solving skills.
