There was something I wanted to try, a change I wanted to make, and I proposed it several days in advance in a setting that was missing some of the people who would be needed to make it happen. It didn’t fly.
There was something I wanted to try, a change I wanted to make, and I proposed it a few minutes beforehand, when all of the relevant figures were present. It was surprisingly easy.
Leading change is not only about the change(s) we are proposing, but also when, where, and to whom.
