How Does Your Change Effort Measure Up?

All change initiatives have one thing in common: if they are well led, they usually succeed; if not, they are doomed to failure (or at least travel a longer road). Since you often can’t affect the “core content” of the initiative (e.g., the new business strategy, financial target, or markets), you will spend most of your time concentrating on the “process” of how the initiative is to be implemented.

Use this tool to evaluate how you and your organization handle this complex process.

Connecting the Issues

Many of us as successful leaders have a tendency to see our personal challenges/goals/learning/development as being outside of the sphere of the challenges we must meet to be successful in our work today. You should now reinforce the importance of your leadership point of view by linking it to your key job accountabilities and the outcomes you need to produce to be successful.

Employ this tool to explore the connection between a coachee’s leadership journey and the output that he or she needs to produce on the job.
