 Ten Steps To Effectively Communicate Change

 

bud to boss (Adapted or quoted from, the new book "From Bud to Boss: Secrets to a Successful  Transition to Remarkable Leadership" by Eikenberry and Harris)

 

Part One: 

1. "Sell" individuals.

 2.  Help people take ownership.

3.  Include people in the process.

4.  Call it a journey.

5.  Ask questions.
 

Part Two:

6.  Sell small - gradually build a new status quo. Interpret small changes as steps in the larger process.
 

7.  Ask questions. Yes, it's here twice. Ask early, late, and frequently.
 

8.  Name it. Develop a slogan. Capture vision with a label that helps people talk about it.
 

9.  Celebrate progress. Don't wait for completion, perfection, or big events. Find progress and point it out.
 

10.  Take responsibility. All leaders always change things. It's up to you to make it happen. Communicate with intention, clarity, passion, and compassion.

Testimonial
 

 

  

"I've worked with Jim from two perspectives - the first as a candidate and the second as a client.  Jim is very thorough, diligent and reliable in providing feedback and progress reports during any search engagement.  He has an extensive network of contacts and does a very good job identifying and screening candidates for presentation.  He's identified outstanding talent for four of our key markets and proactively helps us develop our talent supply chain.  He operates with the highest of integrity and personal responsibility.  I'd recommend him very highly to any organization looking to work with a trustworthy search partner."
