Transformation at Work – Part II, Conviction

Posted by on Jul 13, 2010 in Driving Transformation, Leveraginbg Thought Leadership | 1 comment

This is the second of three posts citing real-life examples of transformation at work. This one features conviction as a key ingredient in driving transformation. The first transformation-at-work post was about courage. Conviction. We defined conviction as “staying true to the mission and not softening the edges.” Conviction is staying the course even when popular opinion strives to shoot it down. Being in the early phases of a new idea is a difficult place to be. It can be very lonely. When PTC, the CAD software company, was rapidly...

In my post Three Essential Ingredients of Transformation we talked about how sustainable transformation requires three essential ingredients operating at full capacity all the time. They are courage, conviction and leadership. What do they look like in real life? This is the first of three posts citing such examples. First up: Courage. We defined courage as choosing what needs to be done versus what can be done. Courage is plotting the right course even if it’s the unpopular one. Courage is realizing old ways aren’t working well enough to...

Posted by on Jun 1, 2010 in Creating Value, Driving Transformation, Leadership | 3 comments

You might have noticed the seemingly bizarre connection I have occasionally made between literature and business transformation. You’re probably wondering, “What’s up with that?” My last literary reference was to William Faulkner, that great American writer. It was in a comment I made to my post, Speeding Lessons. The reference was a phrase within – really the essence of – Faulkner’s wonderful acceptance speech upon receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950. Faulkner, normally a shy public figure, chose to mark the...

Sustainable transformation – that powerful force of change that can lift your organization to a new, higher-value S-curve – requires three essential ingredients operating at full capacity all of the time.
