The best leaders embrace change. They understand that long-term business success requires organizations to constantly innovate and adapt their products and services to ever-changing consumer needs. The ability to adapt greatly depends on the leader’s ability to both inspire his/her team AND tenacity to see the change through to fruition. Change initiatives come with their own baggage including emotional stress, distress and general resistance. Effective leaders take these human factors into consideration to ensure no one is left behind.
The theory of change is a broad one, spanning from individual reflection to innovative group collaboration. Leaders require the skills and self-confidence to move teams through change. Understanding their role in the change process is instrumental to influence others.
How?
The tools for growth are endless and change is only limited by one’s own imagination or hindered by their fears. Leaders can set the stage for outcomes with real impact by exploring critical thinking and self-analysis leaders.
