Think of managing change…
…. as an adventure. It tests your skills and abilities. It brings forth talent that may have been dormant. Change is also a training ground for leadership. When we think of leaders, we remember times of change, innovation and conflict. Leadership is often about shaping a new way of life. To do that, you must advance change, take risks and accept responsibility for making change happen
– Charles Rice
Challenge is…..
… the opportunity for greatness. People do their best when there is an opportunity to change how things currently stand. Maintaining the status quo facilitates mediocrity. Those who embrace this practice do not wish to rest on their laurels. They motivate others to exceed their limits and look for innovative ways to improve the organisation.

It is not…
… the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change
– Charles Darwin
The dogmas of…
…. the quiet past are inadequate for the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new so we must think anew and act anew and we must disenthrall ourselves and then we shall save our country
– Abraham Lincoln
Life….
….. is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely.
– Karen Kaiser Clark
The employer…
…. generally gets the employees he deserves
– J. Paul Getty
Do more…
…. than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work
– William Arthur Ward
How do you…
… make sure you get the bubbling up of ideas through a coalition of energy, rather the boiling down that consensus inevitably provokes? It’s about eliminating all the ordinary, in-between stuff that is no good. You have to cut it out and concentrate all the energy on stretching for the best. Then the really good stuff acts as a magnet for more. If you allow middling stuff to stay – the filler stuff – then that works as a magnet for more of the same too
– Siobhan Davies
We must learn…..
….individually and as organisations, to welcome change and innovation as vigorously as we have fought it in the past. The corporate capacity to change must be dramatically increased
