Change is constant—we all know that. However, I admire the skill of leading the right change at the right time. When it is possible to impact change, roughly 16% of people will happily raise their hands and run into the burning building (of change). I am one of them. However, I have learned this lesson: not all change needs to happen, and some change does not have to happen NOW. The right change at the right time is the sweet spot. Unless you are Larry, he’s part of the #neverchange movement. Sadly, no one has heard from Larry in a month because he’s still using dial-up and a rotary phone.

Learning: Not all change is necessary, but it is constant. Knowing where you are and what you need to manage the wave of change is critical to leading a team through it.
