Leading Change for Greater Competitive Advantage
Perhaps the most difficult job for a leader is changing an organization that doesn't recognize that it needs to change. Almost as difficult is the job of leading change in a company that knows change is coming, but doesn't have a genuine sense of urgency.
As a business leader today, you no longer have the luxury of moving at your own pace. External factors dictate your tempo.
If you don't keep up, you're virtually guaranteed to be outpaced by more agile competitors.
The key to success today is not recognizing that change is needed... but rapidly executing change initiatives to gain a competitive advantage.
If you've found change difficult, you're not alone. A recent survey of the world's top CEOs revealed that, while most of them recognized the need for change, 80% had failed in implementing significant change in the past. The brilliance of their strategic plan had little impact on their ultimate success.
The Key To Successful Execution
Most leaders find it difficult to execute change initiatives. In the absence of an obvious crisis, their attempts at significant change frequently fail.
Why?
Without genuine buy-in at all levels, the greatest plan will never achieve effective execution.
Changing the mind-set of people throughout your company is the only way to transform your organization for sustained increases in performance. Virtually all change management and performance improvement programs don't achieve their potential because they fail to link employee psychology and motivation with the organization's needs.
