Effective leadership is the key to organizational improvement.

Change is process-driven discussions that identify the issues and propose solutions, with the understanding that the status quo is not acceptable. It is about new visions and new directions. To experience real change, the leader and the organization effect a paradigm shift from where we are to where we need to be.

Questions to consider:

1. How do we determine the full state of the status quo?

2. How do we encourage an honest appraisal of the need for change … the existence of a “burning platform?”

3. What is the nature of a paradigm phenomenon?

4. What are the challenges of sustainability for the change process?

At Oak Tree Training, we will develop a working knowledge and functional capacity for change by utilizing the five components of leadership as proposed by Michael Fullan:

1. moral purpose

2. understanding the change process

3. collaboration

4. knowledge building

5. coherence making.

Working within a paradigm-shifting mindset, we will create structures that unlock change opportunities.
