Leadership asks whether the transformation is working.
And you realize it's surprisingly difficult to answer.
You've changed the team structure. Introduced new processes. Changed roles and responsibilities.
Which of those changes actually made things better?
Which made things worse?
And how long should you keep going before you know?
Because at some point, the question stops being whether the transformation is working.
People start questioning the people leading it.
For years, I thought the best way to transform an organization was to design where we wanted to end up and then make the changes needed to get there.
Today, I think about transformation very differently.
Make every change prove itself before you make the next one.
If you're leading a transformation right now and can't clearly show which changes are improving performance, that's what today's newsletter is about.
I'll show you the approach I use, and one of my favorite examples of what happens when you build a transformation this way.
