Leading change? Leadership guru and educator John Kotter states in Leading Change, 'The single biggest error in the traditional model is [that it] takes leadership skills as a divine gift of birth, a gift granted to a small number of people.'
We equip leaders to tell a compelling and truthful story about change, to be fully effective in their sponsorship role and to properly support their people. Leaders skilled in managing change understand how to deliver the current change and create enhanced capability for the future.
Connect strategy to operations, enabling more effective change implementation
Delineate signal and noise so it becomes clear what is known about the change, what will remain less certain, and where resources and effort should be focused
Ensure that communication, learning, and reward and other reinforcement systems are in place to build commitment to change
Define the roles and accountabilities of leaders, so they can become effective sponsors of change and end the ‘us and them’ dichotomy
Align the activities of multiple change agents with the business case for change, and with the desired future.
We also conduct working sessions for leaders of change to build their sponsorship capability and prepare their organisations for success. Click here to download Leaders as Sponsors of Change
