Embrace the influencers. Just as there are a few who are negative, there are usually a few who are positive about unity and who have influence over others. Keep these natural influencers and encouragers close and informed and empower them to help create unity. Keep in mind the process involves relationships, so it can be messy.

And there is nothing we do to influence this change. Leaders need to be careful not to move until ample trust is in place for the size of the change – and knowing when this is in place takes years of practice and lots of people speaking into the process.

Again, this highlights the importance of constant communication as to the why (and the where) of change throughout the change process.

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.
