Managing Change

I saw this article recently in Fast Company's website.

"To survive and succeed, every organization will have to turn itself into a change agent. The most effective way to manage change is to create it."--Peter Drucker, sage

Stunning. Just goes to show you the most effective way to generate a buck out of a tired idea is to state (and re-state... again) the obvious with snappy rhetoric. Remember, if you don't take charge of change, change will take charge of you (or any other version of that phrase that sounded similarly pithy and insightful when it dawned new to you)... oh well, excuse me, I have to go find my cheese, which I suspect is near the tipping point of good to great.

Good example: Zero defects. How much do we talk about this? Sure, we expect and want it but do we do something about it every day and every hour? For the change to become reality, it must govern your actions. The change must become part of your language.
