I just returned from hearing Carly Fiorini (former CEO of HP) speak at Celebrity Forum.\u00a0She defined leaders as those who made change – who see an opportunity and seize the opportunity.<\/p>\n
Leaders have the vision to make changes.\u00a0 Managers deliver within a set of (I can’t think of her word but mine is – parameters.)\u00a0 Leaders can manage and managers can lead, she says, but the two roles are quite different.<\/p>\n
She also mentioned that wanting change is like wanting to get into heaven.\u00a0 Everyone wants to go there, but no one wants to die.<\/p>\n
Since I help create and manage change for my clients, I certainly know exactly what she means.\u00a0 Let the other guy change – not me.<\/p>\n
I live in a townhouse complex which is a block south of the El Camino (a main street for those of you not in California.)\u00a0 Since housing is so needed in California everyone agrees we need much more housing – affordable as well as reasonable.\u00a0 So, given our space issues, we need to increase density.\u00a0 BUT, scream my neighbors hysterically NOT IN MY BACK YARD.\u00a0 Change – for everyone but me.<\/p>\n
So, how do you get people to change?\u00a0 How do you as a great leader seize the opportunity you see – and invite others along for the ride?\u00a0 Evolution or revolution?\u00a0 Persuasion or coercion?<\/p>\n
We, those of us trying to lead change, wish we had the magic answers.\u00a0 Do you?\u00a0 If so, let me know:\u00a0\u00a0 ArLyne@DiamondAssociates.net.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
