It is a common misconception that a business transformation has a beginning and end. However, the truth is that a successful transformation will never truly “end.” Instead, it sets in motion the ever-evolving culture, strategies, and agility needed to grow sustainably over time.
It takes a different set of leadership qualities to do this. As a transformation leader, you need to be constantly aware of the market trends, disruptors and best strategic practices. You also need to approach the transformation from a people-centered standpoint. Do you have a healthy tolerance for failure? Can you demonstrate humility and empathy?
To lead a transformation, you need these people-based qualities, as well as the qualities that would make a great strategic leader. In Organizational Transformation: Orchestration, we will be looking at the ways a successful transformation is led – through market awareness, strategy, culture, and people.
