MANAGEMENT of CHANGE - Step 2

Form a guiding coalition

Kotter: '...not a powerful enough guiding coalition...opposition eventually stops the change initiative.' '..not enough 'power' in terms of titles, expertise, reputation.' '..insufficient experience, and undervaluing teamwork at the top.' '..lack of real 'shared vision', trust and communication.' Effective, strong leadership is required.

Our TIP: Find yourself a group of scapegoats and 'yes' men to goad into doing what you want. That way when the shit hits the fan they can carry the can.
