Transformational Leadership (Leading Change) – My philosophy regarding leading change is relatively simple. It’s not merely a matter of having vision and being able to plan and properly execute. A factor which I believe is very important in leading change is to manage anxiety. People are naturally resistant to change and cling to the familiar. There is an art to causing people to embrace change by enlightening them to the opportunities such change can provide to them individually, for their department, and to the organization as a whole. Then working with affected people to find their role and comfort with the change. CORE COMPETENCIES
