McGee Wed, 12 Sep 2007 15:28:25 +0000 http://changemanagementnews.com/introducing-change-so-that-it-sticks/#comment-663 Rick, The example of JFK's vision statement is very powerful indeed. I examined his vision in detail in my paper "What is World Class...REALLY?" and explored why it was so powerful and what made it so effective. The clarity and the challenge addresses the "what" which I believe is also a critical aspect along with the "why" for change. I couldn't agree more that most of us go directly to the "how" and ignore preparing others with the "what and the how" in order for them to be more receptive to our ideas and concepts. I am looking forward to reading "Made to Stick"! J.R. McGee Rick,

I found myself taking notes while listening and adding additional thoughts to a list of points I am making for a conversation that the director of our department (an organization that is responsible for more than two billion dollars a year) will be having with persons who are working on the "how" of implementing our strategic plan.

In my experience, #3 - trust in the person/group - is the most important point, especially if the decision to change was made without group input. If leadership hasn't built trust, any changes they propose won't stick. Great list for making a case, Rick.
