Leading Change Training

Building Change Leaders

The ability to learn, change and adapt is becoming the only sustainable competitive advantage.

For the last century, and perhaps for much longer, the relationship between the person in charge and the subordinates followed a predictable and well-defined pattern of conduct. Power over others came from the authority of a position to direct and control other’s work.

The title “Manager” started with the Industrial Revolution to identify the person who handled resources and directed subordinates. Corporations modeled after the Armed Forces, built a pyramid of power organized by Departments and Functions.

Today, we describe such type of relationships and organizations as:
  • Command-and-Control
  • Bureaucratic
  • Paternalistic
  • Or simply, "Old-Style"
Changes in the world are changing the way we work. Globalization, a diverse workforce, outsourcing, the computer, and the internet all drive a need for change. In today’s fast-changing environment, the power goes to the nimble and the capable. In today’s workplace, power comes from:
  • Personal Competence
  • Applied Knowledge
  • Speed of Execution
  • Ability to Change
