Positive Leadership: Optimising the Return from Change


If you are either announcing a change, or receiving direction on change, here are ten key questions that need to be clearly addressed:

1. What is the change?
2. What business issue(s) is (/are) driving this change?
3. Why should we care?
4. How will this change help address these issues?
5. What alternatives were considered? What were the pros and cons of each alternative?
6. Why must this change succeed?
7. Where does this change fit with other organisational priorities?
8. How will people emotionally respond to this change, and how should we acknowledge their feelings (the good or bad)?
9. What is the first action we need to take?
10. What are the milestones we will use to measure progress?

Take the time upfront to answer or get answers to these questions and you should see a significant return on your time invested.
