Episode 2: The 4 Levers to Positive Transformation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In the last episode, I shared the 4 things that I have found that limit progress in positive change initiatives and how to address them. To me these are fundamentals.
Join me in this episode where I go a bit deeper, with a different way to look at things through a more fuller refined model and share with you the 4 “Strategic Levers” to apply when leading transformational positive change. By looking at it in this way you can gain further perspective of what actions to take. And then share what the outcome you create when you have pairs of these levers are applied.
At the end of the call, I share some questions to ask yourself to help prioritize which of these 4 to focus on. The questions I shared are:
- For each of these levers, are they already a strength or do they need some shoring up? You could rate the 4 of them with a scale from 1-5 with 1 being weak and 5 being rock solid.
- Which of these 4 results or outcomes of Influence, Capacity, Preparedness and Execution) do you see that you most need?
- Look at the levers with the lowest score and the outcomes with the highest need, you will know which levers you need to build to create the leverage in creating the positive transformation that you are seeking.
You can see a visual depiction of the model I talk about in this pdf on my website.
Until we meet again, I leave with you this parting thought:
We are the leaders, the change agents, and the advocates for this new world to unfold.
Our world is waiting for us to create the change we seek. It's time. So Let's go!
