A Final Thought

Our position is that it’s only by energizing people and harnessing technologies better than anyone else that organizations can survive and thrive. Genuinely aligned, empowered and collaborative people will outperform the competition every time. A leader’s role is to create successful change that fulfills people and avoids human casualties. Leaders need to create working relationships that are rewarding not just superficially productive.

Focusing Change To Win: Summary

• Organizations must change with the times to remain successful and maintain competitive advantage.
• However, change failure rates currently are above 60%.
• To find out why, we analyzed 6000 business leader comments from 80 countries related to their experience with change management.
• Failure is caused primarily by people-related factors. Organizational change can be traumatic and resisted by those involved, and when it is, change fails.
• Leaders need aligned employees that support and trust change to stand any chance of success.
• Once Leaders recognize that change resistance causes stress (and vice-versa) and identify their specific stressors, they can be more effective in reducing it.
• Focusing Change to Win is a change manual for leaders which distills the collective wisdom of over ten thousand years of change-management experience. It outlines how questionnaires and action point checklists can be used to increase the chances of change success as leaders review, navigate and plan change
• Above all, this book is useful and practical! It provides guidance as you move to reap the benefits of gaining competitive advantage of implementing successful change in your organization.
