Turns out I didn't have to look far for inspiration for this month's comments. As we get bogged down in setting budgets for the next financial year and updating our business plans (we all do that don't we???) we sometimes wonder, or I do, "What's it all for, how can I make a difference?" Well I think the following question raised by Capital One's Karen Williams (Learning Manager for Leadership Development*) and the subsequent answer by "managesmarter" of TrainingMag.com; brings our attention back to how we can impact change in our organisations, however big or small.
KW: How can one person/group make an impact on behavioural change in a large organization?
MS: By working inside one's circle of influence until it becomes larger and then gets attention from other people, particularly champions of change. I'm a big believer in becoming what I call a trim-tab, the small rudder that turns the big rudder that turns the entire ship. The key is example, the building of relationships of trust with those immediately around you, and the cultivation of a team or partnership. Then other people begin to see the pragmatic benefits that come from your example and your dedication and your caring about them.
So don't despair... each of us can have a positive impact in our organisation and over time influence significant changes and outcomes! So keeping being a 'trim-tab' and turn that rudder to change directions on your ship!!!!
