5 Cultural Diagnosis Imagine a close friend is joining your unit. What advice would you give? What are the espoused values? What behavior is rewarded by management? What to do to be accepted in the group? What behavior will get them “kicked out” of the group? © 2003, Robert V. Fogel All Rights Reserved.

6 Change Leadership Pitfalls We Have Seen (the dirty dozen) Launching without a vision or well thought-out “game-plan”for change. Poor assumptions about the commitment of your coalition members. Overestimating the sense of urgency in the organization. Not engaging the entire organization in ACTION. Playing Poker with only “part of the deck.” Underestimating how much (redundant) communication is needed. Boredom. Failing to model the new behavior... and to demand it of report to’s. Inadvertently sending mixed-messages (“the glue of the status-quo”). Missing the middle of the organization. Overestimating the power of power. Forgetting that change is an emotional experience. © 2003, Robert V. Fogel All Rights Reserved.

9 Some Summary Thoughts About: Leading Strategic Change (in an established organization)  Strategic change can be bold and visible, or it can sneak up on you. It matters!  Ready-Aim-Fire vs. “FIRE-READY-AIM” is the right approach 90% of the time.  Understanding relevant history and contextual environment always yields great value and leverage.  Opportunity and Performance Gaps differ... …….one starts internally and the other externally.  As in the game of chess... “look at and play the whole board.”  Doing a small number of extremely leveraging things well is more advantageous than trying  to accomplish too many things too quickly  It all comes down to changing behavior... engagement of the “changees” is critical.  Don’t underestimate, or overestimate, the power of power.  A dash of inspiration, of design, and of discipline... is a good recipe.  Change most often fails for lack of consistency, process discipline and follow-through.  “Mixed Signals are the Glue of the Status-Quo”  More than a few MAJOR changes initiated simultaneously yields potential for systems dynamic and chaotic and thus less predictable effects and outcomes.  Change sometimes looks like failure when you are half way through. Sometimes failure is failure and it needs to be diagnosed to provide remedy and redirection. © 2003, Robert V. Fogel All Rights Reserved.

11 “We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form into teams, we would be re-organized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by re-organizing and a wonder- full method it can be for creating the illu- sion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralisation.” “We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form into teams, we would be re-organized.
