Global interconnection and Technology have changed the drivers for leader and organizational success. The pace of change is increasing at an exponential rate and businesses need to build the ability to change to not only keep pace but lead. According to Harvard’s John Kotter, “The change process goes through a series of stages that, in total, usually require a considerable length of time. Skipping stages creates only the illusion of speed and never produces a satisfying result.”
A company can turn itself around in the most dire situations, even when there isn’t much time. Taking shortcuts— for instance, putting insufficient effort into communicating or focusing on small, short-term changes— only deepens the problems.
Instead, senior leaders must:
- set clear goals that can make a company face reality;
- establish an unambiguous and inspirational VISION, with high targets and straightforward milestones;
- communicate, communicate, communicate with and engage the organization as a whole.
No single tactic will lead to success; rather, each organization must find the right combination of tactics and then execute all of them well. By doing so, it can markedly increase the chances that it will transform itself successfully, even in the worst of times. (McKinsey 2009)
