8 is Enough for Change
Eight aspects comprise our world at work and, therefore, patterns of behavior at work:
- organization (organizational chart),
- workplace (its physical or virtual configuration),
- task (work flow or processes),
- people (specifically the skills and orientation),
- rewards (and punishments),
- measurement (the metrics employed),
- information distribution (who gets to know what when), and
- decision allocation (who is involved in what way in which decisions).
A skilled change leader can convert these eight aspects into eight levers for change. Change Management Is Bigger Than Leadership
