The Change Puzzle

It's a puzzle.  Why is it that certain individuals and groups are able to move, grow, and create new levels of success while the majority remains stagnant?  Those movers and shakers learned from Peter Senge who, quite literally, wrote the book on organizational change.

Senge identified the six essential pieces that combine to bring about authentic change.  Here's the equation:

TRUST + VISION + SKILLS + RESOURCES + RESULTS + ACTION PLAN = CHANGE

Because each piece is necessary, leaving out any one stops your group's forward motion and derails your plans for success.

Without trust plans are sabotaged.

Without vision there is confusion.

Without skills anxiety grows.

Without resources people are angry.

Without results change is sporadic.

Without an action plan there are only false starts.

Look at your team and ask yourself if you have put all of the pieces in place to complete the puzzle.  To empower.  To not only embrace change, but create it, relish it, and use it to drive your business.

Keep connecting and Keep Leading Forward!

This is terrific. I have not considered "change" as a series of deliberate actions but this surely fits. When you can label the process and put it into steps it makes such good sense and is attainable.
