‘It is vital to retain absolute faith that you can and will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties, and at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.’
‘Find a good thing and count on this. A nemesis will appear. Nothing good lasts forever because others will want to share it.’
‘Avoid random. Choose design.’ Because ‘random designs = random results.’
‘To enable significant change requires help from others. And those others will only willingly offer help when change facilitators walk the talk. Leaders of change espouse big, bold visions. They work both formal and informal channels to reach others to create a guiding coalition that will bust up inertia and bureaucracy.’
‘Change will never happen without an internal felt need for change. Until the person, or leadership team, feels dissatisfaction coming from within, change will be hard to muster and sustain.’
‘Reinvention must be looked upon as glass-half-full versus glass-half-empty exercise.’
‘Reflecting on your character and behaviours by identifying your blind spots and accepting that you ‘don’t know what you don’t know’ will make you more attractive and strengthen your position.’
‘Master change agents use a blended combination of both art and science when bringing about powerful change.’
‘Without viewing the total system that you are trying to change and understanding the interactions of each component, you can never truly hope to effect lasting change.’
‘No matter how well you engineer the reinvention effort, its success ultimately rests on the quality of leadership.’
