Authentic Change Leadership

Yvonne Ruke Akpoveta describes Change Leadership as the ability to influence and inspire action in others and respond with vision and agility during periods of growth, disruption, or uncertainty to bring about the needed change. When leaders truly lead change, when they commit the resource, when they are visible throughout the change process, when they genuinely sponsor and lead the change, results follow. I believe that what is important to the executive bench, they give their attention to. When leaders begin to position change leadership as a strategic imperative and as a competitive edge, the millions and dollars wasted each year will be saved. It is not rocket science that when leaders lead change successfully, the results are there to show for that investment. We can stop the financial hemorrhage and wastage of resources when leaders lead the change instead of leaving it in the hands of change practitioners, change managers, change leaders who do not have the authority or positional power to influence results. I encouraged you to make the decision right now backed by commitment and consistent positive action to change the narrative regarding effective leadership for successful change. When we lead well, change efforts succeed. Have a fantastic week.
