Do You Face Any of These Issues?
- Do leaders fail to hold employees accountable and allow them to slip back into the old way of doing things?
- Are your leaders able to identify the aspects of change they can control and influence?
- Do leaders fail to gain the buy-in or support of team members to implement change?
- Are your leaders a positive model when it comes to embracing change, or do they fail to use new approaches themselves?
