  16. Four Mistakes That Lead to Failure • Writing a memo instead of lighting a fire • Talking too much and saying too little • Declaring victory before the war is over • Looking for villains in all the wrong places

  17. Writing a Memo Instead of Lighting a Fire • Managers fail to create the sense of urgency during change • Do not just send out a report, have a meeting

  18. Solution • Gather group to identify complacencies • Brainstorm ways to counteract complacencies • Develop action plan to implement ideas

  19. Talking Too Much and Saying Too Little • Most leaders under communicate their change in vision by a factor of 10 • Use speeches and memos too often • Lead by example • Leaders must behave consistently with their goals

  20. Solution • Lead by example • Leaders should behave consistently with their goals

  21. Declaring Victory Before the War Is Over • Often with initial success, leaders lose sight of overall objective • Forget the difficulty and time it takes to make change

  22. Solution • Don’t settle for too little too soon • Don’t lose sight of the work that’s left to be done

  23. Looking for Villains In All the Wrong Places • The perception that middle-management resists change is unfair • Educated workforce-everyone is involved in the change process • Biggest obstacles to change are people directly under the CEO

  24. Solution • Build a guiding coalition that represents all levels of the organization

  25. Conclusion • John P. Kotter • Traits of Effective Leaders • Eight steps to transform you organization • Four Mistakes that lead to failure

  26. Conclusion • “No organization today - large or small, local or global - is immune to change. To cope with new technological, competitive, and demographic forces, leaders in every sector have sought to fundamentally alter the way their organizations do business.” John P. Kotter
