Kotter identifies 8 common errors that organizations make when attempting transformational change. The first error is not establishing a sense of urgency about the need for change. The second error is failing to create a powerful coalition of people who can lead the change effort. The third error is lacking a clear and compelling vision for the change. The fourth error is undercommunicating the vision for change. The fifth error is not removing obstacles to the new vision. The sixth error is failing to plan for and create short-term wins. The seventh error is declaring victory too soon before changes are fully implemented and adopted. The eighth and final error is not anchoring changes in the organizational culture.
This document discusses eight common reasons why organizational transformation efforts often fail. It describes each error, including not establishing a sense of urgency, not creating a powerful guiding coalition, lacking a clear vision, undercommunicating the vision, not removing obstacles, not creating short-term wins, declaring victory too soon, and not anchoring changes in the organization's culture. The author is John P. Kotter, a professor at Harvard Business School, who draws on his research to analyze why so many change efforts fail and how to achieve successful transformations.
John P. Kotter's 8 stages of change are summarized as follows:
1. Establish a sense of urgency and gain buy-in from 75% of stakeholders who do not want to leave their comfort zones.
2. Form a powerful coalition of 5-50 key leaders to drive the change.
3. Create a vision to clarify the desired direction of change.
4. Communicate the vision through every available channel.
5. Empower others to act on the vision by removing obstacles and swaying reluctant leaders.
6. Plan for and create short-term wins within 1-2 years to boost morale and refine the vision.
7. Consolidate improvements
8 reasons why organizations fail to changeJames Saliba
The document summarizes key points from John Kotter's book "Leading Change" about successfully leading organizational change. It discusses that establishing a high sense of urgency is critical to avoid complacency. It also emphasizes that major change requires the active support of top leadership as well as a committed team. Additionally, it notes that change efforts need a compelling vision to guide actions and short-term goals to maintain momentum, as real transformation takes time and changes must be deeply embedded in the organizational culture to stick.
The document outlines 8 common errors that can cause organizational change efforts to fail: 1) allowing too much complacency, 2) failing to create a powerful guiding coalition, 3) underestimating the power of vision, 4) undercommunicating the vision, 5) permitting obstacles to block the new vision, 6) failing to create short-term wins, 7) declaring victory too soon, and 8) neglecting to anchor changes in the corporate culture. These errors can result in new strategies not being properly implemented, acquisitions not achieving expected synergies, reengineering taking too long and costing too much, and frustration among employees that slows down implementation progress and leads to unnecessary resistance.
This document outlines eight common mistakes that cause transformation efforts to fail. It discusses research on over 100 companies that underwent major changes. The mistakes include: not establishing a great enough sense of urgency; not creating a powerful guiding coalition; lacking a clear vision; undercommunicating the vision; not removing obstacles; not creating short-term wins; declaring victory too soon; and not anchoring changes in the company's culture. The lessons are that change is a process with many phases, and failures in any phase can undermine the entire effort.
The document summarizes key points from John P. Kotter's book on developing a vision and strategy for leading change. It discusses that an effective vision should be imaginable, desirable, feasible, focused, flexible, and communicable. It provides examples of ineffective visions and outlines characteristics of effective transformational visions, emphasizing that creating a vision requires both rational and emotional input over a period of time from a guiding team.

This document discusses contract management challenges in South African organizations based on an interview. It finds that legal, procurement, and contracts groups often lack clear strategies and metrics. Leadership is also a major issue, with groups just maintaining the status quo rather than innovating. There are some exceptions, but overall much work remains to be done to improve contract management practices, technology adoption, knowledge management, and risk management. Career opportunities may exist for those who can help transform these functions into more strategic, value-adding roles.

Avoiding blind spots in your next joint venturerob coulson
This document discusses common challenges that can cause joint ventures to fail, even when best practices are followed. It notes that 40-60% of joint ventures underperform or fail outright. While clear business rationale, partner selection, structure, exit planning and governance are considered best practices, joint ventures often fail due to a lack of process discipline. Specifically, companies rush through planning to meet deadlines, focus more on financial aspects than operational realities, and have declining executive involvement in later stages. To improve outcomes, companies need to balance speed and thorough planning, maintain leadership continuity across all stages, and ensure ongoing high-level participation throughout the process.

The article discusses the concept of member portfolio management, which involves segmenting a credit union's members into meaningful groups in order to better understand their needs and develop targeted strategies. It provides examples of credit unions that have broken their members into groups based on financial health or life events. The article argues this strategic approach results in increased profitability compared to typical analytics efforts focused on sales metrics.

Startup | the impact of CEOs achieving superstar status on the performance of...Massimiliano Caruso
If you're a Chief Executive Officer, your job is to execute. What does it mean, in terms of daily tasks, to be the company’s top “executer”?
Many of the companies that surmount the challenges of growth have maintained attitudes most commonly found in young companies. What is the “FOUNDER’S MENTALITY”?
In sports, the “Sports Illustrated Jinx” is believed to affect athletes who appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated and in the entertainment industry, the term “Sophomore Jinx” refers to successful new performers who do not live up to the quality of their debuts. What is the “CEO Disease” and how is it related to CEOs achieving the SUPERSTAR STATUS?
The document discusses key issues and trends affecting associations, including the economic outlook, member needs, and challenges brought on by broader shifts in technology, demographics, sectors, and volunteerism. It notes that while the economic downturn is easing, deeper issues are keeping CEOs concerned. The convergence of trends is accelerating change and potential distractions from creating real value. Associations must balance appealing to core and leading members while earning the right to drive change and deliver on both current and future needs.
The document discusses the challenges of being a transformational leader today. It notes that while business transformations are critical for survival, most fail due to a lack of leaders with the right skills. These leaders, called "Strategists", have skills in visioning, execution, and adapting to complex challenges. However, Strategists make up only 8% of leaders. The document outlines 10 ways for organizations to identify and retain their own Strategists to lead transformations from within.

What Makes a Great Leader?
Leadership encompasses the ability of an
individual to lead or guide other individu-
als, teams, or entire organizations in the ac-
complishment of common goals. In many in-
dustries, great leadership is required now more
than ever as companies face a myriad of chal-
lenges such as globalization, uncertainties in
global markets, and increased demand for flex-
ibility. The electronics assembly industry is no
different. Amid the rapid change in technology
and innovation, leadership is required to drive
the organization ahead of its competition and
sustain its competitive advantages to overcome
new challenges brought about by market de-
mands.
But then, there are good leaders, and there
are great leaders. How do we differentiate one
from the other? According to author Jon Gor-
don, good leaders get people to believe in them,
while great leaders inspire people to believe in
themselves.
Apparently, it’s true. According to our sur-
vey on leadership—which is also our topic for
this month’s issue of SMT Magazine—the major-
ity or 70% of our respondents said the ability to
inspire others is the one of the most important
traits of a great leader today. This is followed by
empowerment of employees, clarity of vision,
and then integrity. Great leaders act in the best
interest of the team they are leading. And while

having and following a plan is a basic need, the
ability to stay positive through challenges and
demonstrate high levels of integrity at all times
define great leadership.
When you inspire others and act in their
best interest, you can be sure that your com-
pany is on track for success. We asked our read-
ers the most important impact of great lead-
ership—and they said it’s happier employees
and higher employee retention. Basically, em-
ployees are said to be the prime movers in any
enterprise, so having long term, happy employ-
ees result in better margin and profitability for
the company, and improved efficiency of oper-
ations.
Another barometer to gauge great leader-
ship is whether employees feel empowered to
make decisions at their jobs. Majority of our re-
spondents say so (Always: 36%; Often: 33%). In
this industry, decisions at times have to made
immediately because delays can impact cus-

We are faced every day with the challenge of balancing our own anxiety, our personal goals and ego and the ability to lead others. When we are in times of stress and high pressure sometimes we allow our ability to lead turn into management by fire instead of becoming something inspiring.
FOUNDER CEO VERSUS SUCCESSOR CEO-Final-ReleaseDeepak Alse
The document discusses factors to consider regarding leadership transitions from a founder-CEO to a successor CEO. It notes that founder-CEOs are well-suited to the early stages of a startup due to their vision and commitment, but professional CEOs can help scale the business. The key is determining when is the right time for a transition based on where the business is in its lifecycle and what capabilities are needed. It recommends mapping opportunities against capabilities to evaluate whether continuing with a founder-CEO or bringing in an outsider is best to capture opportunities and build the needed capabilities.

Advisors And Mentors - The Role and How to Find themguest1fe3e0c
Vijay Anand discusses key stages of a company and the challenges of being an entrepreneur. He emphasizes that as a startup it is important to avoid consultants and MBAs, and quotes Guy Kawasaki's view that they are the two people to stay away from. Anand explains the differences between a mentor, coach, advisor and consultant. He stresses the importance of engaging the right advisors to provide a disjoint perspective and increase the board valuation of a company. The advisor works with the entrepreneur, not for them, and chemistry and trust are very important factors in the relationship.
The document discusses the organizational life cycle that new ventures typically go through, including five stages: start-up, expansion, consolidation, revival, and decline. It describes the challenges entrepreneurs face at each stage, such as unpredictable growth and fighting fires at start-up, managing rapid growth during expansion, and making difficult decisions during consolidation to remain profitable. Successful ventures adapt to meet the changing needs at each stage through their leadership and strategic decisions around areas like products, markets, and organization.
To serve or not to serve - there is no question for a leaderSteven Martin
This document discusses leadership styles and proposes that servant leadership is most effective. It begins by describing issues commonly seen in organizations with top-down leadership, such as lack of accountability, innovation and customer alignment. The author then discusses how servant leadership, where leaders prioritize serving their people, tends to have better results. Key aspects of servant leadership discussed include empowering teams, coaching others, and focusing on people's growth. Transitioning to this leadership style requires commitment, self-awareness, understanding others, and demonstrating servant leader characteristics incrementally. Overall the document advocates that servant leadership can improve organizational performance, productivity and employee satisfaction compared to traditional top-down management.
The document discusses how most transformation programs in consumer goods and retail fail due to common pitfalls like lack of employee engagement and accountability. It argues that successful transformations require not just determining initiatives ("what to do") but establishing a "performance infrastructure" to ensure execution and sustainability ("how to do it"). This infrastructure includes appointing a chief transformation officer to lead a transformation office that governs progress, implementing regular meetings to track progress, and using common tools to measure results. The article provides an example of a consumer products company that was able to significantly improve its financial performance through establishing such a performance infrastructure to oversee its transformation efforts.

Week in Relation to the Course
As management professionals, we must remain focused on the fact that the overall success or failure of our organization depends upon our ability to outperform our competitors in a business climate that is very dynamic. That sounds simple enough but, in reality, it is a concept that is very commonly overlooked. Leaders and managers sometimes get so caught up in the everyday demands of their jobs that subtle changes in the organizational processes go unnoticed. Subtle change can easily evolve into critical challenges for organizations. The most successful management professionals are those who keep their organizations healthy in all areas. Increasing our ability to anticipate, identify, and manage internal and external change forces allows us to keep our organizations focused on the goals that lead to success.
In the coming weeks, we will discover how to employ a detailed model for managing change. Our challenge in Week One is to gain a thorough understanding of what change is, how and why it occurs, and what role we play in the process.
Discussion of a Key Point, Thread, or Objective
It is important to understand that change is inevitable and dynamic. Change is certain to occur in every organization and will result in some level of anxiety and uncertainty among the workforce. Managers and leaders have two clear options relative to change: to suffer negative consequences from it, or to find ways to manage it as an opportunity for success. Change is a potentially disruptive force that can destroy the morale of a workforce and, eventually, an entire organization.
Because of the speed and complexity of the modern business world, scores of businesses each year are unable to keep pace with the changes they encounter. These businesses suffer from an inability to recognize impending change or to recover from its effects. However, change can, if managed properly, be utilized as a process that transforms an organization from its present state to a more desirable and productive one (Beer, 7).
Change occurs for a variety of reasons. The most common cause is the external forces that exert pressure on the organization. Examples of external forces are competition from other companies, shareholder demands, and market trends. These forces often cause an organization to institute a planned change – one that is intentionally initiated. Technological advances, changes in the global economy, and government regulations are.
Many responsibilities of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) are exclusive. Superior financial and competitive performing businesses understand these responsibilities.
Achieving business agility_by_restructuring_the_organizationChandan Patary
This document discusses strategies for transforming organizations to increase business agility through restructuring. It proposes a framework with four pillars: management vision, organizational structure, organizational culture, and process optimization. The framework is supported by four accelerators: portfolio management, defining new roles and operating models, assessing culture, and establishing a software factory. To implement the framework, the document recommends creating a transformation program, identifying business value, restructuring around business value using a Spotify model, developing a growth mindset, defining new roles, applying a cultural model, and enabling swarming behavior. The goal is to reinvent the organization to meet changing market needs and enhance customer value through an agile transformation.
How to get what you want (and move -- fast -- when you don't)Leslie S. Pratch
Not everyone is equally good at all parts of the "private equity person" role – some investors are better at sourcing deals, buying companies, or raising money than at being director or leading the Board. To be great at guiding portfolio companies, you need to know when and how to work with a CEO who will not always (or maybe ever) be pleased with the Board. Getting each party to do their part in achieving the aims of the investors – a job they must do together – benefits from planning, skills, and knowledge.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

2. Last few years have been predominantly thickly overcast with problems of non-
performing assets in the banking system. It’s not that the NPA is a new
development or has been a fresh news, NPA’s are synonymous with lending
business globally so are they in India as well but the magnitude & size of NPA’s in
India after 2010 has been rising at alarming rate.
The objective of my article is not to discuss the NPA problem as such but one of
the essential causes why they happen. Lot has been written on this subject but
among the various reasons yet hidden there is one important & critical reason,
which is not debated & at least has not been cited as one of the key inputs of
this NPA menace.
Let me try to elucidate this, let’s look at top 50 companies referred to IBC in the
past over 18 months. We know clearly they are all over leveraged & their
business models have failed to meet the obligations, hence the reference. Why
are these companies over-leveraged & why did their business model collapse.
One of the striking reasons is lack of competent leadership team, which the
promoters of these companies failed to develop & empower.
ajaybhat.in
3. I made a salient study of these companies & found this to be a common problem.
Only over-leverage can never be a source of potential trouble in a company to
warrant its reference to IBC or otherwise a change in management. Collapse of
an industry is different from a collapse of few companies in an industry. I am
talking of the latter.
Expansion and diversification was purely driven by Promoters at their choice and
plan with utter disregard to inputs, suggestion or advice of key management
personnel. The so-called growth was essentially driven by debt. Promoters always
believed that their plan of growth would yield returns to take care of capital
employed, which proved never the case. My counterparts in different companies
confided how the promoters of the companies would get involved in all major to
minor approvals or at least passed their hands, the time consumed would
obviously overlook some of the important tasks needing their attention.
ajaybhat.in
4. Resistance or dissent by any key management team was seen a challenge to the
authority, ownership and exclusivity of Promoters. Therefore there was no
meaningful dissent by any key management person.
Dissent is essential in corporate working, it is not disobedience but expression of
difference of opinion, dissent encourages free flows of ideas, corrects flaws in
decision-making process. Unfortunately it was least accepted & termed as
challenge to the power & authority of promoters in helm. It destroys corporate
culture, makes executives defensive, kills ideas & thoughts small to major
decisions required approval or at least the consent of promoters. It made any
talent in management redundant over a period of time & generate virus of
inefficiency & compromised performance.
ajaybhat.in
5. There is life cycle of every company, which incidentally is the life cycle of its
promoters. When a company is young its micromanaged by the promoters with
the handful of people around, success at this stage leads the company to stage of
maturity, the company becomes mature, the strength of manpower at senior
level increases but promoters continue to run the companies in the same style &
approach with little delegation & empowerment. It’s still fine, but when the size
starts becoming bigger & bigger, the mechanics of control & management
remains the same, the problems start cropping up slowly. Promoters continued to
keep all strategic, operational, as well as decision of execution to themselves.
