vii) Effective Change Leadership

Not realizing that effective change leadership involves

- awareness (own and others' strengths & weaknesses)

- behaviours (doing the right thing - not necessarily the popular thing)

- role model (leading by example, ie positive example)

- providing a vision or focus or purpose for the future that people are willing to follow, share & believe in it; it motivate & persuade other

- resilience/persistence in the face of adversity or crisis (able to handle hard times & failures; stay positive

- opportunistic (when right situation arises, ready to grasp the opportunity)

- willingness to change

- humility

Capabilities of Change Leadership
"... - heroic determination to make change happen
     - persistence
     - stamina
     - sufficient mandate that stemmed from personal change
     - first-class intelligence..."
S. Ajrnal as quoted by Z. Mohmood et al, 2013

Additional capabilities include:

- communications (two-way communications, including asking questions related to the change and how change will impact on them; sharing information; more than just the channel or method, eg e-mail, telephone, etc)

- trust-building (involves respecting alternative points of view and regarding mistakes as learning)
