Lead, and read on the brave.
In our seminars and our book, ReEnergizing the Corporation, we talk about the need for and nature of surprise in business – discontinuity and disruption. You cannot ignore change. You can only produce or try to reduce it; and we think there is only one real choice. To make change happen you need to re-energize your corporation and our model of leading change, 3E, enables you to Envision, Engage and Execute change.
Change does not have to be seen as negative or problematic, it can and should be a positive process that enables employees to contribute to the success of the organization. So why is it so often seen as a problem to be overcome and not a process to embrace? In a nutshell it’s the way we communicate and lead change that requires a radical re think. Change should always be done with people not in spite of people. To really engage with your workforce requires you actually relax some control and yet paradoxically in doing so you gain more power. It’s not for the faint hearted it takes courage to release the reins of control of the organization.
Welcome to the 21st century. Welcome to the era of courageous leadership. It’s time has finally come and without exception the talented people who embrace boldness will flourish in a business environment that demands leaders of exceptional ability and determination. Gone are the days where compliance and control was king, welcome to the exciting era of engagement. When leading change is about navigating the surprises of the business landscape and becoming the surprise shocker of your industry, a new model of leading and delivering change is required. 3E Leadership brings together, people, projects and positive change in a way that makes change happen.
3E Leadership is not management; just as driving to work is not formula one racing. There is a difference in the level of talent required and the level of excitement and challenge it generates. Read on the brave, because in our belief only the courageous can lead change exceptionally well.
