All my Guiding Coalition pals out there will love Buy-In‘s appendix featuring a modified version of John Kotter’s 8-steps. This part, under “step 2: Build the guiding coalition” is one of my favorites:
Because they feel a strong sense of urgency, these people are not forced by anyone to be a “committee” or a “task force.” They want to help. They volunteer to help. and they learn to work together as a team, even if they include sub-groups from different parts of the organization or different locations (hence the term coalition).
Those people sound like they are an engine for change. I love to hear it!
