Recently, I’ve been reminded of a lesson that I already thought I had learned but which I find still bears repeating…and it’s a tough pill to swallow. Some time ago it was brought to my attention that I’m an innovator — the type of person whose ideas are generally pretty far ahead of the curve, before the market is ready for my innovation.

There comes a time when every leader is stuck in a situation that requires decisions and solutions that aren’t forthcoming. Not all decisions are yours to make, but when they are and you’re stuck, take advice from others with caution. Even when there may be people around you who have more experience, skill, or wisdom than you do, it’s best not to jump too quickly into action with the advice they give.

Chances are you will initiate a change that affects your whole team or start a major team project in the near future. And chances are it will not make the impact you had hoped for. A 2008 study by IBM found that over 60 percent of change efforts do not fully meet their objectives, and a 2013 Towers Watson study revealed only 25% are sustained over time.

Great organizations don’t just appear. There is a method to the madness. I wonder sometimes, however, if we make it seem more difficult than it is to create success in an organization. While nothing worth doing well is ever easy, there are certain benchmarks we can aim for which seem to exist in successful organizations I’ve observed. In the church where I lead, I would say we have experienced some “success” relative to our mission in the last few years.

HBR STAFF. Here’s the irony of moving up in most organizations: You have more power to make changes but less visibility into what should change. Because you are no longer on the front lines directly encountering many of the organization’s most pressing needs, you must rely on lower-level employees to share their observations and ideas. But gathering insights from hundreds, or thousands, of employees can be a daunting process.

And yet for almost every company that uses CI in their decision-making, there’s another that disregards CI’s mix of industry analysis, rival positions, and market insight to their detriment. We recently conducted a survey of CI managers and analysts who’ve been through our training program to see how much their findings influenced major compa
