The document discusses the need for change agents within organizations to help implement changes. It states that having executives, managers, and staff act as change agents is effective because people are more receptive to changes introduced by their peers rather than external consultants. This peer-led approach helps changes spread widely and build momentum as it helps the changes feel less imposed and more grassroots-driven.

As you know we live in a world that is made of different
people, mentalities and cultures. Due to this, we need to
keep improving and find new approaches and models to
help implement changes.

Coincidence or not
“You will need executives, managers and staff to act
as change agents. That’s because people are more
likely to listen to, and work with, their peers rather
than external consultants or dedicated change
agents.
People tend to feel threatened or feel that change is
being pushed on them if they don’t see their peers
jumping in first. This approach helps the change go
viral, and helps build the momentum.”
