PHASE 4: INFUSE CULTURAL CHANGE
RESEARCH AND QUOTES
JOHN P. KOTTER | LEADING CHANGE
“In the nal analysis, change sticks when it becomes “the way we do things around here,” when it seeps into the bloodstream of the corporate body. Until new behaviors are rooted in social norms and shared values, they are subject to degradation as soon as the pressure for change is removed”
JAMES M. KOUZES & BARRY Z. POSNER | THE LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE
“As contradictory as it might seem, in aiming for the future you need to look back into your past. Looking backward can actually enable you to see farther than if you only stare straight ahead. Understanding the past can help you identify themes, patterns, and beliefs that both underscore why you care about certain matters now and explain why making them better into the future is such a high priority.”
PETER F. DRUCKER | THE FIVE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS YOU WILL EVER ASK ABOUT YOUR ORGANIZATION
“Every truly great organization demonstrates the characteristic of preserve the core, yet stimulate progress. The job of the leader is to preserve the core, yet stimulate progress at the same time. If you do one without the other, the organization will become dysfunctional.” “They know the di erence between what is truly sacred and what is not, between what should never change and what should be always open for change, between ‘what we stand for’ and ‘how we do things.’”
SAMUEL CHAND | CRACKING YOUR CHURCH’S CULTURE CODE: SEVEN KEYS TO UNLEASHING VISION AND INSPIRATION
“Words have the power to shape lives and organizations. Too often, however, leaders aren’t aware of their vocabulary as they speak, and they don’t realize how people are a ected by their words. Even casually spoken statements can have profound e ects. The words we use, and the way we use them, de ne organizational culture.”
JAMES M. KOUZES & BARRY Z. POSNER | THE LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE
“The words people choose to use are metaphors for concepts that de ne attitudes, behaviors, structures, and systems. Your words can have a powerful e ect on how your constituents see their world, and you should choose them intentionally and carefully.”
JOSH HUNT | CHANGE YOUR CHURCH OR DIE
“Without short-term wins the change process will never gain traction. Fairly early on we need to nd some early successes, no matter how small, and put a spotlight on them.”
