Your leadership team is truly the driving force of any change you want to bring to your organization. Leading change, thus, requires knowing how to get your executive team and managers on board.

It’s easy to underestimate the number of changes that will happen to our leadership or executive team when we begin a transformation journey. When it comes to implementing major change I often see over half the leadership team turnover during the next two to three years.

So, if we know that there are going to be changes, how can we take a proactive view of getting the right people in the right seat? This is the first step towards building the team you need to be successful.
