Five Steps to Solid Relationships

1. "Respect. When it comes to relationships, everything begins with respect, with the desire to place value on other people.

2. Shared experiences. You can't be relational with someone you don't know. It requires shared experiences over time.

3. Trust. Trust is essential to all good relationships.

4. Reciprocity. One-sided personal relationships don't last.

5. Mutual enjoyment. When relationships grow and start to get solid, the people involved begin to enjoy each other (Maxwell, 2003, p. 4-6)."

How to Introduce Change

October 12, 2009

From: Eikenberry, K. (2007). Remarkable leadership: unleashing your leadership potential one skill at a time. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons.

Change champions recognize that organizational change is about the decision and the commitment of each individual. Here are five high-level things a change champion does to introduce change:

1. Change champions build a reputation as a change champion in advance. They are known as long-time proponents of change.
2. Change champions help people see the current situation clearly and completely.
3. Change champions help people see a postchange vision.
4. Change champions provide or help develop clear first steps.
Change champions are optimistic about the change without being a Pollyanna (Eikenberry, 2007, p. 56).
