"Empowering people to effect change: - **Communicate a sensible vision to employees**: If employees have a shared sense of purpose, it will be easier to initiate actions to achieve that purpose. - **Make structures compatible with the vision**: Unaligned structures block needed action. - **Provide the training employees need**: Without the right skills and attitudes, people feel disempowered. - **Align information and personnel systems to the vision**: Unaligned systems also block needed action. - **Confront supervisors who undercut needed change**: Nothing disempowers people the way a bad boss can." --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[vision-statements]], [[change-management]], [[systems-thinking]], [[learning-and-development]], [[crucial-conversations]] **Source** -- [[20250320103315 - B - Leading Change]]
