You’re invited to a dialog about organizational change.

In April of this year I shared some thoughts on Google+ about creating and sustaining organizational change.  Greg Troxell engaged with those thoughts and we had a brief dialog.  As I am preparing for an upcoming organizational development project, several recent articles and conversations reminded me of our exchange.  With Greg’s permission I am sharing that conversation and inviting you to join in!

My original comment:

Ken Blanchard says there are 3 steps to creating change – Impacting knowledge, then attitude, then behavior.  My understanding of his concept is this:

  • When they choose to participate in the vision, you have impacted their behavior.
