Chances are you will initiate a change that affects your whole team or start a major team project in the near future. 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. They fail because of the human factor.

When anyone tells you about or shows you their project, give them your undivided attention. If you think it’s an awful idea, you can say something like, “It sounds like you’ve put a lot of thought and work into this project so far.” Give your full attention.

A few years back, I was facilitating a discussion between the project leaders. Most participants, who were leading projects, only talked about their war stories and problems they faced so far.

To this day I’m amazed at how many CEOs still own tasks, roles, projects, and responsibilities that should be delegated to others. Kicking the bird out of the nest and saying go fly with the project is short sighted and very weak leadership.

The most important decision a leader can make with regard to any implementation, initiative, project, objective, goal, task, etc. One of the reasons I think some organizations end up charging sub-par leaders with mission critical objectives is that leaders of projects are all too often chosen based on position in their hierarchy.
