Change Requires Commitment

A message from Sandy via John Maxwell and his book “Developing the Leader Within You.” Time is the most precious commodity for many people. Whenever change is about to happen, we all look to see how it will affect our time. Usually we conclude that increased change will be fine, if it does not increase out time commitment. Sidney Howard said, “that half of knowing what you want is knowing what you must give up before you get it.” When the cost of change is time, many will resist the change.
When it comes to commitment of time, the leader must determine if the person is unwilling or unable to change. Willingness deals with attitude, and there is little you can do if your team resists change because of attitude. But ability to change deals with perspective. Many people are willing to change but, because of the way they perceive their present circumstances and responsibilities, they are unable to change.
How can you help your team prepare for change?
