“A vision without action is just a dream. Action without a vision is just a waste of
time. A vision combined with focused action can change the world.”

It starts with you! It’s time to bring out your super powers. Because what you think, say and do as a leader matter!

Let’s start by paying attention to your historic success. It can distort your world view – and make you think there is no need to change direction… for yourself or for the company.

”Change has a bad reputation in our society. But it isn’t all bad – not by any means. In fact, change is necessary in life – to keep us moving... to keep us growing... to keep us interested… Imagine life without change. It would be static... boring... dull.”
Dr. Dennis O’Grady
And, what about your own feelings about change?

Five key reasons why strategic change projects actually succeed
• Active and visible sponsorship from top management. • Frequent and open communication about the need for
change. • A structured approach to manage teams and people
during the change process. • Resources budgeted for change management. • Engaged team members who are actively involved in
the change.

Five reasons why strategic change projects fail
• Resistance among management and/or employees. • Inadequate leadership and communication. • Misjudging the impact of the organizational culture. • Speed of change – to fast, or to slow. • Limited understanding of what needs to get done – on
one or several levels of the organization.

need to act. • Communicate. Don’t just talk… listen!
