At a very basic level, people need to know that there is constancy in their jobs and, more broadly, in where the organization is headed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The single hardest part of leading any organization is knowing what is going on. There's too much noise in the system, too much complexity: you absolutely depend on people speaking up and raising concerns.
The bottom line is, when people are crystal clear about the most important priorities of the organization and team they work with and prioritized their work around those top priorities, not only are they many times more productive, they discover they have the time they need to have a whole life.
Once an organization has a strong sense of mission, leaders can focus on trying new things.
People are too keen to follow standard preconceptions of how organisations should work. All too often, we feel that we are unable to make changes and so hope that someone, somewhere in your organisation knows what we are doing and what the overall aim is.
Often, organizations need bold, grand gestures to galvanize people towards a new mission or refocus their attention.
You have to be able to communicate the vision to the people in your organization so that they know where and how they should direct themselves on a day-to-day basis.
The organization is a way for people to find us and deal with us and know how we operate.
I think it is quite dangerous for an organisation to think they can predict where they are going to need leadership. It needs to be something that people are willing to assume if it feels relevant, given the context of any situation.
Major organizational changes create uncertainty.
An organization needs to be constantly refreshed.
