MANAGEMENT of CHANGE - Step 5

Empower others to act on the vision

Kotter: '..structures to underpin the vision...and removal of barriers to change' '..the more people involved the better the outcome.' '..reward initiatives.'

Our TIP: Find yourself a group of scapegoats who you can blame if things go wrong, arm them with enough authority to kick the organisation around, but not enough authority to be able to turn on you. Put people into positions where they are bound to fail then you have an excuse for getting rid of them.
