“Knowing what to do with a toon is easy.
It's getting them to do it that's hard.”
Ender to Bean in Ender’s Game, Orson Scott Card

The leader’s problem is:
I have a change on the
table and I need to
deliver the expected
results and outcomes
Solve Their Problems
33
Your job: connect what you do to solving their problems
The leader’s problem is not:
I don’t have change
management on
my change initiative

People don’t buy a quarter-inch drill
bit, they buy a quarter-inch hole.
You’ve got to study the hole, not the
drill. The drill is just the solution for it.

Define Change Management
45
Technically:
Change management is:
the application of processes and
tools to manage the people side of
change from a current state to a
new future state so that the desired
results of the change are achieved
(Hiatt & Creasey, 2012)
To gain buy-in:
Change management is:
how we catalyze employee
adoption and usage
to capture the portion
of project benefits that
depends on people changing
how they do their jobs
