Change cannot be "managed".

It must be led.

"Management" is making sure people are doing what needs to be done as efficiently as possible. Every day. "Leadership" is about initiating and guiding people to embrace an important new way of doing things that wouldn't happen otherwise.

In this dynamic presentation by a seasoned large-scale change veteran, you will see what kind of leadership attitudes and behaviors are crucial for moving an organization from the past to the possible.

Like:

• WHY? What is the change in the service of? What will be its impact on me/us -- and my/our team.
• WHY NOT? How to use an Aikido approach, working with resistance to turn it into enthusiastic support.
• HOW? A 'Checklist for 'Success' lays out the essential elements in a successful process, focusing on system-wide, high-engagement performance-improvement.

John's closing true story from his days as a US Navy Combat Officer about an attempt to rescue 'two-guys-in-the-water' never fails to move an audience, sometimes to tears of victory -- and hope.
