Casual Articles - Leading Change - Big Titles Don't Mean Big Honesty
As new technologies continue to change the look of today’s classrooms and media centers in the educational and business community, the laminator continues to be a fundamental and intricate part of these centers. In most cases you will find at least one roller laminator or pouch laminator in every public school and even in most coll

Falsified resumes are common, since anyone applying for a job, especially when there could be a lot of competition, will be tempted to exaggerate their experience or qualifications. Sometimes that temptation is just too much because most jobs worth having these days get hundreds of applicants.Employers don’t actually need to
One of my project managers leaned over and said that to me in a change meeting when the Senior VP of Human Resources had just hijacked our change plane. It was unbelievable but true. After all this time, with the old leader sitting nearby, this guy is delivering the goods on our work. Where has he been all this time?
We were all called in for a project update when up steps our Senior VP of HR. The only thing missing from this charade was Gomer, from Mayberry saying, "Surprise, surprise." This guy had no involvement in this project for the two long years of its life. Now, today, he walks in and pronounces he's in charge. He’s not only in charge; he’s announcing everything is beautiful. I was waiting for Ray Stevens to come in and sing his song by the same name.
The project in question was a PeopleSoft implementation that was a full year behind schedule. When we were invited to this ‘update’ the email led us to believe we were coming to hear the 'Straight Talk Express". Like, let’s get be honest and do what needs done to get this thing on schedule. Instead, this guy stands up, with all his compatriots in the room, including the CEO cleaning his nails, and lays some smack on us.
From the time he started talking it was clear this guy could jump through a bag of pretzels and come out straight. It was unbelievable. He was spewing forth more BS than Congress on a good day. The old leader, the Controller, sat silently by as we heard 'all is well'. If you only heard the HR guy’s update you’d have thought this baby was ready to walk. It wasn’t so.
As the change leader, you must be part Gunnery Sergeant and make things happen, part JFK and inspire people to believe, and part Intelligence Officer to insure you see things like this guy coming. You cannot let a project be hijacked if you’re the leader. And when the BS starts flowing like the java on a morning stop at Starbucks, you have to intervene. This stuff isn’t easy but it is doable. Leading change requires a ton of courage and if you don’t have it – you lose.

Simple, use the Rubik’s Cube as a tool to test perspective employees. By observing and analyzing their problem solving process, you the employer

When asked why he was a great scorer, Wayne Gretzky replied...
"I skate where the puck will be, not where it is."
As a change leader you must skate where the puck of change will be, not where it is. Otherwise you will not succeed or survive.
