A New Beginning

God says in Isaiah, “I am about to do a new thing, don’t you see it?”

Change is not neat and predictable. Change is messy. Change is challenging and uncomfortable. 7 out of 10 change efforts fail to achieve their intended results.

The ability of leaders to be adaptable is vital to change.

The good leader is adaptable and can navigate change successfully. Leaders drive change through being personally adaptable and exhibiting the right change behavior.

The manager must personally adapt, and confidently communicate a strategy for change to team members.

Good leaders delay implementation until there's a common vision among key team makers. They create dialogue and debate to foster buy-in.

Change leaders build a network of leadership for change. They spend time in meetings, listening and addressing concerns.
