"𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩" is a critical skill required to thrive in today's climate of change, challenges and uncertainty. One certainty is that 𝒘𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒖𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒆𝒗𝒐𝒍𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒅𝒂𝒑𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒆.

🎯🎯🎯 Whilst some leaders might use their intuition there are some simple '𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝 & 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝' 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐬 out there that can support leaders manage change more successfully. 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 𝐊𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫'𝐬 𝐄𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭-𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 is a good one I've found resonates with the Leaders I've worked with.

🌎 🌍 🌏 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞

1. 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐔𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲: building 'pain' & 'gain' is always a fundamental for getting buy-in to (selling) an idea.

2. 𝐏𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐓𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦: creating a powerful core group with a shared sense of urgency and belief is critical to move forward.

3. 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲: creating a new future with a path to achieving it will inspire your teams.

🌈🌈🌈 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 & 𝐄𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞

4. 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐮𝐲-𝐈𝐧: creating more and more people who want to support the change helps overcome resistance and create momentum.

5. 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐜𝐭: Encouraging ideas and giving exploration roles to team members creates innovation and helps remove barriers to progress.

6. 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭-𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐬: Celebrating the short term successes of the team, no matter how small, creates the energy and motivation to keep going.

💯💯💯 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 & 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧

7. 𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐔𝐩: Continuing to drive change after each success by raising the bar and adapting will keep you moving towards your vision. This includes removing activities no longer required - to help sustain energy levels.

8. 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: Once you've got there, you've got to make it stick. Holding onto new behaviours and making them strong enough to become new habits will create a new culture.

This process resonates with me having led many commercial transformation programmes.
