It’s very arrogant as leaders for us to assume or pretend everything about the organization is wrong, or that we have all the ideas moving forward. We needed better organization there. Effective change management also means you influence decision makers. If there’s nothing good then don’t turn it around. Close it down.

These potholes can become deep, and when they do, and you hit them, you can literally lose your leadership influence. A leader who removes his or herself too much from the people doing the actual work, who isn’t visible to their team, or who doesn’t bond well with them never gains significant influence.
