Change is growth. No change, no growth. If you are not willing to change, you are not going to grow.

Change is doing things differently.

When it comes to changing your organization, according to Robert W. Jacobs, ‘Significant transformations call for the development of new structures, systems, practices, skills, and processes to support the successful institutionalization of these new ways of doing business.’

‘During real time strategic change events, leaders must use discretion in determining how much interpretation of the common database should be carried out by the large group.’

‘Leaders need to pay attention to the throttle of organizational change; keep closer than ever to stakeholders, especially internal ones; stay flexible; and continually review plans and progress.’

‘Cogent explanations of a leader’s own needs shape the purpose of the overall process and sometimes influence certain aspect of individual events.’

‘The leader of the change effort must sign up the top leadership they can provide for it.’

‘Organizational leaders must believe in what they are presenting.’

‘A system-wide paradigm shift needs to occur at some point in the process in order for a real time strategic change effort to succeed.’

‘Changes are made in how business gets done in the organization because everyone starts doing business differently.’

‘Change happens system-wide because everyone decides it is time.’

‘The only way to bring about significant change across the entire organization is for everybody- including you- to make it happen, to start doing things differently.’

‘All our work happens through people– one relationship and one conversation at a time.’

‘We are not leading if we are not listening, and we are not listening when we are doing anything else.’

‘To listen deeply, we need to emphasize our focus and attitude toward the other person.’

‘We are not leading if we are not listening.’

‘Trust is the cornerstone of all relationships, and the level of trust that people have in each other is the most significant measure of those relationships.’

‘Without trust, you cannot succeed as a leader. With it, there are no limits to what’s possible.’

‘It takes time and work to build trust. It takes only a nanosecond to break it. However, the deeper the trust, the more possible it is to rebuild it.’

‘Courage is the quality of the mind or spirit that enables us to face physical or moral difficulty, danger, pain, and other hardships and walk toward and through them anyway.’

‘Learning occurs by moving from not knowing to knowing through awareness, feedback, and then practice and experience.’-

‘Choose a change process, and communicate it to everyone who will be affected, and then pull rather than push change in your organization.’

‘When you engage your people, empower them to have a voice in decisions, and embed the changes in the fabric of your organization, you will have a good shot at ‘buy in,’ and that means that the change is likely to stick.’

‘Learning occurs by moving from not knowing to knowing through awareness, feedback, and then practice and experience.’
