What does it take to help people embrace change?
Q.
A.
It starts with great leadership. We talk about leading by listening, which means asking the right questions to learn the root causes of why people resist. We know that a willingness to shake things up can make people more willing to think about what’s possible, and we know that setting high aspirations can inspire and motivate people.

We think about 70 percent of transformations end up not achieving their objectives. That doesn’t mean that they end in a train wreck but it means that they end up delivering a lot less than expected, it means that it takes a lot longer than expected, or it means that the change proves a lot shorter-lived than people expect. A successful transformation depends at the end of the day on two things. It depends on good governance and good leadership. If you get those two things right, a transformation will deal with whatever curveballs and whatever turbulence it runs into. Good governance provides a framework for making whatever changes are required, and good leadership will ensure that those changes are made in a timely manner and are pushed down to the rest of the organization.
