Adapt your
management style
"It's a
→
management style that forces people to change. The decision to
make a change happens so fast that most people have little time to dwell
upon their
→
actions. All they know is that keeping an eye out for change
is both exhilarating and fun."
Spark others to
deal with change
→
Bring people
into the change process. Start with
→
senior managers
and provide all managers with the tools and training they need to engineer
and
drive change throughout the company. "Start with
reality... When everybody gets the same facts, they'll generally
come up with the same
business decisions."
Prepare employees for change
by incorporating the very concept into the
→
values of the
organization.
Deal with change in a
proactive manner
→
Winners win because they
aren’t afraid to make changes. They take on foes that scare others and
never flinch. Reassess the situation
constantly and
change before you have to. "If the rate of change inside an
organization is less that the rate of change outside... their end is in
sight."

Defy tradition
Hold "→
why do we do it that way?" meetings. Invite colleagues to
contribute one idea on changing something important at the company.
Don't be afraid to
buck conventional wisdom. "Willingness to change is a
strength, even if it means plunging part of the company into total
confusion for a while."
Think short-term
and long-term change
