Leadership Is About Coping With Change

Over The Years I Have Become Convinced That We Learn Best - And Change - From Hearing Stories That Strike A Chord Within Us ... Those In Leadership Positions Who Fail To Grasp Or Use The Power Of Stories Risk Failure For Their Companies And For Themselves.

We Know That Leadership Is Very Much Related To Change. As The Pace Of Change Accelerates, There Is Naturally A Greater Need For Effective Leadership.

Good Communication Is Not Just Data Transfer. You Need To Show People Something That Addresses Their Anxieties, That Accepts Their Anger, That Is Credible In A Very Gut-level Sense, And That Evokes Faith In The Vision.

Good Communication Does Not Mean That You Have To Speak In Perfectly Formed Sentences And Paragraphs. It Isn't About Slickness. Simple And Clear Go A Long Way.

Never Underestimate The Magnitude Of The Power Of The Forces That Reinforce The Status Quo.
