Dr. Fuda is one of my favorite leadership experts.  His focus is organizational change efforts.  That's right, I said that dreaded word, "change".  In a recent blog, Dr. Fuda addresses the challenges involved with making ch...ch...ch...change.  He states, "Any attempt at sustainable change requires a blend of confidence, humility and a good sense of humor.  In effect, this involves taking off the ‘mask’ of perfection in favor of a more humble and authentic disposition. De-masking however, presents a significant challenge for business leaders and change agents alike. Leaders are under constant pressure from shareholders, boards and analysts to confidently forecast and deliver results which are bigger, better and faster than last quarter. "

He goes on to add, "Leaders and change agents can be liberated by dropping the mask, accepting that there is no simple program, that change is necessarily unpredictable, and that everyone will need to learn and grow through the process. This acceptance removes the weight of unrealistic expectations and enables everyone to channel the energy previously spent posturing, pretending and politicking into an authentic dialogue about the commitment and disposition required for an effort which will inevitably be harder, longer and riskier than anyone would like."

Basically change requires risk.  Risk to ask questions that might feel "stupid".  Risk to listen instead of charge on.  Risk to be totally honest about the challenges so you can overcome them.  Are you ready to take a risk in the interest of creating a better, more productive, more profitable workplace?
