Change Management Leadership

There are many methods of “conflict resolution,” but most involve compromise, a low-level accommodation that stops the fight without breaking through to amazing new results. The 3rd Alternative is about more than just an armistice - it’s about creating a new and improved reality. The 3rd Alternative transcends traditional solutions to conflict by forging a path toward a third option....

All successful leaders stand on the shoulders of their mentor giants—people who saw something in them they may not have seen in themselves and helped them redefine what was possible. The relationships transform both parties into better versions of themselves and can uplift entire organizations and even society itself.

My underlying thesis here is incredibly simple: Great leaders decide what they want. They take the time to determine what great looks like, and then they devise a process to get there. The chapters in this book contain various tools and techniques to help you put this idea into effect and to drive home my central premise, the idea that I hope every listener takes away from this book: "You get what you settle for if you don't know what you want."

In the last 10 years, the number of nonprofits and social sector organizations has grown by almost 25 percent, while charitable giving declined 30 percent over the same period. As a result, many organizations are chasing grants, tweaking and adding to their core activities to match what they think funders are looking for. Almost half of nonprofits surveyed nationally in 2014 said they added additional programs in the last year. The result is colloquially known as "mission creep" - organizations trying to be everything to everyone.

Do you find it increasingly difficult to lead in the midst of change that is relentless, disruptive, and unprecedented? What if I told you that you do not have to be at the mercy of change? That you can actually harness change for your competitive advantage? In past markets that had low rates of change, business leaders were accustomed to making "right" decisions. Unfortunately this is ineffective in today's world of uncertainty. Blindly proceeding with the "right" plan increasingly turns out wrong.

Is there a change you want to see in the world, your community, your job, or your life? Have you been waiting for “someone”, “somewhere” to do “something”? Stop waiting! You are someone. You are somewhere. You can do something. Your change is the new future you imagine. When you act to create your change, you become a change agent. You don’t need permission to become a change agent, but you do need to equip yourself for your change journey.

On January 21, 2017, millions of protestors took part in the Women's March, and many of them created a "sea of pink" when they wore knitted pink "pussyhats" in record numbers. The pussyhat swiftly found its place on the cover of Time and The New Yorker, and it ultimately came to symbolize resistance culture. Creator of the Pussyhat Project, Krista Suh, took an idea and built a worldwide movement and symbol in just two months. But like so many women, Krista spent years letting her fears stop her from learning to live by her own rules.

You can read countless books on coaching models, techniques and theories, you can attend courses on many different types of coaching, and you can gain qualifications from institutions all over the world in coaching. And yet all of this is worthless if you cannot achieve three simple things with your clients. Without these three things, you will never achieve the true depth of connection and engagement that enables all of those wonderful techniques to work. You’ll be like a car mechanic who has a wonderful, sparkling toolkit but no way to get to the engine.

You will never come across a business person who wishes for his or her business to end when he or she leaves. If an organization chooses not to embrace change, it will have no customers because people only buy things that meet their needs.

The way to do this is to continually sharpen own tools by creating a learning environment so that own employees learn all business and change-related tricks to help them maneuver the business world.
