Recommendation

Organizational change lecturer Michael K. Sahota and productivity consultant Audree Tara Sahota explain how leaders can help their companies evolve by evolving themselves. Their “Shift314 Evolutionary Leadership Framework” (SELF) advocates learning what’s happening in your firm by listening “to the voice of the system.” They prescribe practices for bringing about lasting, evolutionary change in your personal leadership journey and your company. The authors cover how organizations function and how business patterns intersect. They link effective organizational change to the way you grow and evolve as an aware, accountable leader, so you may be more pivotal than you think.

Summary

Most corporate change efforts are ineffective.

Organizations are failing more quickly than ever before, and many leaders know their company needs to change. However, most corporate change efforts are ineffective. The time has come to acknowledge that organizational change itself is an “outdated paradigm.” Instead of embarking on some routine change program, try to achieve “organizational evolution.”

Compulsory change seldom works. The kind of structural organizational change you’re seeking requires a shared transition into higher consciousness and “evolutionary leadership.” 

You can update your organization by helping your leaders evolve so that your company can evolve as well. Traditional change efforts often fail because leaders mistakenly view their organizations as easy to understand. They assume any change effort containing measurable, easy-to-follow steps will work. 

Seek evolutionary change by using the “Shift314 Evolutionary Leadership Framework” (SELF). This strategic approach will help you improve your processes, your procedures and yourself.
