Innovators of Change Comic: “Change is going to cost me sleep!”

Rearranging a room can be difficult. So can organizational change. As a CEO or top executive, you may need to move one key item, but in doing so, introduce a series of other changes affecting the people of the organization. Perhaps these changes are even keeping you up at night.

Offering comfort around the overall vision of the organization and how the rearranging helps with achieving coordinated effort is instrumental in working through some of the unintended consequences. And, at the same time, having leaders who can think and communicate about the short-term and the long-term simultaneously ensures better odds in keeping people motivated in times of chaos. How does rearranging a room help achieve the common goals of the stakeholders in the building and the shared goals with roommates?

A couple other thoughts:

• Where are you going to sleep?

• Where do I get an Innovators of Change blanket from?
