Leadership in a Changing Culture

Lead Change Blog

How many of us have experienced effective cultural change? How many, not? My sense is more of the latter than the former, and chief among the reasons for change failing is the pivotal role of the leader. One startling example from my past, doomed to glorious failure from the outset, was a former Head of Service, who said at our very first senior staff meeting, “From now on, we will pursue the leadership model of Ready, Fire, Aim!”.
