Productive change doesn’t happen by itself. Effective change leaders know how to manage the change process and guide people through change with these 3 elements.
Successful change is one of the biggest problems modern organizations face. In our fast-changing world, the strategic imperative to change is often clear: Without doing things differently, your company is unlikely to succeed, or even last.
But organizational change initiatives fail more often than they succeed. Why?
While formal change processes might be well understood, too many leaders neglect the all-important human side of change. The most effective leaders devote considerable effort to engaging everyone involved in the change. They also are mindful that people need time to adapt to change — no matter how fast-moving the change initiative.
Effective change leadership is about leading people, not just processes. Successful change leaders can’t focus exclusively on results — they must support employees by removing personal and professional barriers to their success.
Influence is a key skill for leading through change. Leaders need to gain not only compliance but also the commitment necessary to drive change. They also need to establish “buy-in” from stakeholders to ensure a successful outcome.
Successful change leaders never assume they have all the answers. They ask lots of questions throughout the change and make continual adjustments.
The primary success factor for leading through change is employee buy-in. Our change leadership programs, change management workshops, and leading through change trainings emphasize communication, collaboration, and commitment so your leaders can align their team, peers, boss, and organization with their change efforts.

“Because of the fast growth in the organization, we needed to come together as a community. We used the formal leaders on the steering committee, but then we bolstered that with the people who showed up as influencers. I have no doubt that the network analysis helped the process of change tremendously.”
