Are you managing a significant project or organizational change?
J. Kotter, author of Leading Change (1996) suggests we watch for the following common errors when leading change:
- allowing too much complacency
- failing to create a sufficiently powerful guiding coalition or group
- underestimating the power of vision
- undercommunicating the change or vision by a factor of 10 (or 100 or even 1,000)
- moving to implementation too quickly
- permitting obstacles to block the new vision
- failing to create short-term successes
- neglecting to anchor changes firmly in the culture of the organization
For more information on managing change, or on other Organizational and Employee Development issues, contact Linda McCann at 966-7046, or e-mail
