You Know Less Than You Don't Know: Transformation, Not Change, is Key to Success

Superior organizational success is boosted by positive leadership behavior. Leaders’ behaviors drive employee/follower, motivation, creativity, performance, and productivity. Disruption and crisis are the luminol that exposes fault lines in both leadership and business operations. How have leaders handled the sudden and continued disruptions from the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic? How do companies continue to govern the after-effects? Did leaders simply change, or did they choose instead to transform? Stakeholders' optics of change is that it is an untenable headwind: conform to, or else! Change is binary, reversible, and unsustainable. Actions govern it. On the other hand, transformation is an intentional, systematic, and incremental pursuit of better future states. It involves a mindset and belief system shift that precedes actions. Both function as prescriptive tailwinds that guide progression. Your mind has to arrive first. Transformation is so powerful that there is no path backward (ex: butterfly to the caterpillar.) The answer is simple, straightforward, and imperative: transformation, not change, is key to success. With or without crises, businesses need leaders that enable organizations to move through headwinds while minimizing their effects in times of uncertainty. Topics 1.
