4. @RandyPennington
The ability to quickly change
and adapt in pursuit of your
vision is the difference
between excellence and
irrelevance.
5. “70 percent of change efforts fail to achieve
their desired goal.”
@RandyPennington
6. Ten Reasons Why Change Fails
1. Poor planning or
resource allocation
2. Goal, purpose, or
desired result is not
clearly defined
3. Lack of buy-in for
change
4. No accountability
5. The change is never
given time or
resources
6. Lack of processes
or guidelines
7. Poor or no support
from leadership
8. No measures or
metrics to evaluate
success
9. Resistance derails
the change
10. Take on too many
changes at once
@RandyPennington
8. Change management:
managing projects and processes
Change leadership:
inspiring and connecting with people to
bring them with you on a journey
@RandyPennington
16. Quiz Question!
Which of these responses is the first to cross your mind?
• How will we still complete our work and accomplish
this reorganization?
• How is this going to affect our customers? Will it
really make things better?
• Will this work? Do we have the capacity and capability
to pull this off?
• What will happen to my teammates? How will they be
affected?
• What will happen to me? Will I have to work longer?
Will I lose my job?
@RandyPennington
17. People support and take action to
change for their reasons not ours.
@RandyPennington
18. “80 percent of what leaders
care about and talk about
when trying to enlist support
for change doesn’t matter to
80 percent of the workforce.”@RandyPennington
19. Individuals want to know
• From what to what?
• What does this change mean for what I do and how I
operate on a daily basis?
• Will this make a difference?
• How will success be measured?
• What is the support level for this change?
@RandyPennington
21. People support what they help create
x
No one argues with their own ideas and
information
@RandyPennington
22. Four Levels of
Involvement
• Input: Ask for feedback on the change
• Participation: Solicit questions, concerns, and ideas to
implement
• Collaboration: Work in partnership to develop
solutions that work for everyone
• Empowerment: Give others control of the decision and@RandyPennington
28. The ability to change is based on readiness.
Intellectual understanding does not ensure
emotional readiness.
@RandyPennington
The truth about change
29. People change for two reasons
• Crisis pushes us to change
• Opportunity pulls us to change
@RandyPennington
30. What’s on top of your
refrigerator?
Cookies or Brussels Sprouts?
@RandyPennington
33. The assumption:
People want to do a great job and
deliver service that helps the
customers we serve.
@RandyPennington
34. Using resistance as
your friend

embrace the resistance as
well-intentioned

achieving the goal or purpose
