From Change Management to Change Leadership

Interesting article on change leadership vs. change management.  Really appreciate the discussion around how most management principles employed today grew from the industrial revolution, when labor was the primary resource driving the economy. 

Article explains, during this time there was a lack of organizational management theories, so much of what was developed came from military principles… hence, command-and-control work environments.  However, it doesn’t really work in a knowledge-driven economy because it stifles creativity (just as one example).

Wanted to pass along for others interested in creating and working in more of an egalitarian environment.  Hope you get something out of it too.Image

  1. I will strive to be the best I can be, but I will never try to be someone I’m not.
  2. We all deserve to be heard.  I will listen with an open heart and open mind. (And, yes, interrupting another human being is rude… even in the boardroom.)
  3. Intelligence comes in many forms, one of which are feelings.  I will honor my emotions.
  4. I will remember my despair and be grateful to it, for it has paved new ways of being.
  5. Hope is the irrational essence of wisdom.  I will be grateful for both.
  6. Those who dance are often thought mad my those who cannot hear the music.  My own knowing is enough.
  7. I will not try to please everyone.  I will simply do what I know is right.
  8. Setting personal boundaries is empowering.
  9. I will no longer be silent to keeps other comfortable.
  10. When one part of the body begins to consumes more than its share of resources  we call this cancer.  As Americans, we make up six-percent of the population, yet we consumer 25-percent of the world’s resources.  Each day, I take small steps to create a big shift.
