Why Is Change Complex…?
Fullan sees complex change as a process
that cannot be understood and handled
simply in terms of cause and effect. Instead
of managing such situations by applying localfixes, we should go with a developed and
refined process. For those complex changes,
the leader should “be committed to certain
values, but uncertain to pathways.”

What is Change…?
1) New Materials
2) New Behaviors/Practices
3) New Beliefs and Understandings

New Insights…
Fullan is a proponent of mentoring. He
believes that mentors gain as much from their
protégés as their protégés do from them.
He believes that thinking outside of the box is
sometimes difficult because of overload and
vulnerability but a new mindset on new insights
can help a person truly lead.

Right Thing PoorlyThe clearer the new vision, the easier it
is for people to see all the specific ways
in which they will be incompetent and
look stupid. Many prefer to be
competent at the wrong thing than
incompetent at the right thing.

Dr. Fullan’s Beliefs
“Leadership, then, is not mobilizing others to solveproblems we already know how to solve, but to helpthem confront problems that have never yet beensuccessfully addressed.”
Moral purpose cannot just be stated, it must beaccompanied by strategies for realizing it, and thosestrategies are the leadership actions that energizepeople to pursue a desired goal.
Leading in a culture of change is judged by what
leadership you produce in others.

Causes of Ineffective Change Leaders not guided by moral purpose. Leaders that do not fully understand the change
process, but may have moral purpose. Leaders that innovate the most and do not improve
relationships. Leaders who think that it is enough to have the best
ideas. Leaders who do not appreciate early difficulties when
trying something new.
Leaders who do not redefine resistance as a potentialpositive force and never re-culture.
