3 Keys to Driving People-Powered Change

The strategy was brilliant, and then…nothing happened.

Successful strategic changes harness the organization’s most valuable asset – the power of its people. Here are three ways to enroll people to become change agents and, in the process, create thriving organizations that stay ahead of the competition and deliver on their missions.

First, develop and share the compelling why or purpose for change

Second, understand what is not working and, as importantly, what IS working that you can build from.

Third, distribute ownership so everyone has a role to play.

Sleep to Succeed

“In a separate study of 81 organizations and 189,000 people around the world, we have found that four types of leadership behavior are most commonly associated with high-quality executive teams: the ability to operate with a strong orientation to results, to solve problems effectively, to seek out different perspectives, and to support others. What’s striking, in all four cases, is the proven link between sleep and effective leadership.”

Check out Chapter 5 in the Stragility book for how to convert change fatigue into change fitness!

Rethinking the ‘Perfect Team’

“At many companies, more than three-quarters of an employee’s day is spent communicating with colleagues.” “Teams tend to innovate faster, see mistakes more quickly and find better solutions.”

After spending 5 years studying hundreds of their teams, Google’s big ‘ah-ha’ is that psychological safety, real emotional connection, and being our “whole selves” is what differentiates teams that thrive from those that falter.

Creating safe communication is key to this process. To find out more, see Chapter 3 in the Stragility book and pre-order yours today!
