Implementing Change in Organizations

March 22nd, 2009 by fred Discuss this article »

There are always different ways of seeing change and how it comes about within organizations.  The question is how should change be optimally viewed and perceived in an organization?  Peter Drucker offers an interesting perspective in his book “The Daily Drucker” by Peter Drucker.  His insight reveals that “A change is something people do; a fad is something people talk about“.  I couldn’t agree with this more. 

Back at work, I always seem to observe that the people/groups that talk about change the most are the ones that do the least to making it happen.  Conversely, the ones that are low key and that seem to keep to themselves the most are the ones that make the most profound impact through constant and incrememntal change. 

Key Points:

- Change is something people do while fads are something people talk about

Actions Items at Work:

- Talk less and Do More
