The *only* thing you need
Bite sized leadership advice
Good leadership trumps a great change plan.
You cannot fill the vacuum of leadership, yet the passion and conviction of leaders can make changes without a formal plan.
Every day changes happen in organisations because a leader has the passsion for them. They happen without a change plan, or project team.
A Poor Plan and Weak Conviction: Prepare to fail, secure yourself another project or role quickly, your safety is at threat.
A Great Plan and Weak Conviction: You may get lucky, but it is like throwing spaghetti on a wall, some may stick, most will not.
If you have Weak Conviction you really only have three tactics;
- build leadership capability
- buy in a new leader
- scale back your aspirations to the level of conviction
Strong Conviction, even with a poor plan works!
A credible leader with conviction does not need a strategy execution plan, their conviction will carry them and their team through.
Add Strong Conviction and a Great Plan and you can move at the speed of light. You are super-charged and your outcomes will be delivered. Success every time!
As a leader, build your leadership skills, find your conviction and be the change maker you want to be.
If you doubt whether this works in your organisation observe when a new, different leader joins a team.
How quickly do the team adapt to their style and priorities? (This is a good test of organisational adaptability)
