Key Points 70% of all major organizational changes fail 20% of employees will support your change from the start Book: First Break all the Rules* by Marcus Buckingham Quotes People often have the perception that organizational change is about change management and not change leadership. The distinction is that while they both deliver change, change management is about the processes that we use. Change leadership is about the vision, creating a sense of urgency, and speaking to the hearts and minds of your employees. —Jaqueline Ferrington Generally, when an organization introduces change, 20% of employees will support the change. But the rest, 80%, are either fence-sitters or active resisters, and often leaders forget about that. —Jaqueline Ferrington Often, leaders look at their change champions, and think, “Ah, I don’t really have to pay attention to these people because they really believe in it, they’re driving it.” But if those people begin to feel ignored or that they aren’t being used to support the change, they can become highly disengaged. —Jaqueline Ferrington Leaders often approach change from their perspective, not from their followers’ perspective. —Jaqueline Ferrington Recommendations Book: Your Brain at Work* by David Rock Book: The Progress Principle* by Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer Book: Overcoming Immunity to Change* by Robert Kegan Discover More Activate your free membership for full access to the entire library of interviews since 2011, searchable by topic.
