The Five P's of a Change Champion


Here is an outline for a step by step process guaranteed to develop an internal resource that will be able to provide effective, results-driven changes:

Purpose:   Helping your leadership team create and then gain a real understanding of the true purpose for an organization-wide transformation initiative. 

Persistence:   Never becoming discouraged or giving up.   The true change champion will never be satisfied with status-quo.   This also includes bringing those reluctant folks along through your positive influence.

Patience:   Everyone needs to progress at their own pace of lean understanding. Knowing when fellow employees who may be on a steep lean learning curve will take extra time to assimilate before they really understand how it works.   This is a good opportunity for reflection - hansei .

Passion:   You love leading change - and it shows!   You know that you have the best job in the company.

Pride:   Your pride shows when you go that "extra mile" in doing your job better than anyone else.   And better next time then the time before.
