I gave a presentation to some co-workers earlier this year on "Real Change Leaders" a concept that actually is kind of old but is receiving new emphasis. The concept is that Real Change Leaders (RCLs)can exist at all levels of an organization and can have a significant impact on any business. Here is a quick summary:
Who are they?
Be Curious
Learn from mistakes
Lifetime learners
Question the status quo
What can they do?
Leapfrog over vertical hierarchies
Work informal networks
Personal courage to change and build skills
Take career risks
Where are they?
Any level of an organization
Critical mass needed to make it all stick
Every location, SBU or department
Why are they important?
Increase bench strength and depth of talent
360 degree impact within the organization
Open up leadership capacity without adding people
I firmly believe that they are important and it does work. Others have commented that it is all garbage. So does that make a person who attempts such activites a real change agent or just some sucker for the company to dump more work on (without any more pay)?
