Learn to Embrace Change with a Successful Change Management Strategy

Some of my favorite childhood memories were from the times I spent browsing the massive movie selection at my local Blockbuster. I remember jumping in the car with my family on a Friday afternoon after school, looking forward to seeing if there would be any copies left of the newest release I had been (very impatiently) waiting for. Then, feeling relieved after managing to snag the last copy, my parents would let me grab an [...]

Chart the Course for Successful Business Transformation Planning

Ship captains must follow a strategically charted course, avoid icebergs on the horizon and ensure the health and safety of everyone on board. Despite having the support of an expert crew each managing their functions precisely, the responsibility for a journey’s success or failure rests solely on the captain’s shoulders.  They must remain vigilant.  Being aware of the wind at their back with an eye on the horizon is a captain’s responsibility.  And as the [...]

The other day, I got snippy with Alexa. It wasn’t my fault, she wouldn’t listen. After the fourth time she misunderstood, I noticed my heart rate (and voice) were elevated.

And that reality hits often, as change is inevitable. As a leader, during times of transition, you have [...]

Be the Hero Who Defeats Change Management Failure

Hollywood is doing it all wrong. How many horror movies have they churned out, where on a dark and stormy night, the heroine runs right into danger (in sky-high heels, of course) and chaos ensues until the unlikely hero swoops in, saves her and defeats the villain? They both ride off into the sunset, looking picture-perfect, and live happily ever after. Too many. We think Hollywood is missing out on a surefire formula for a [...]
