Finding the right place to start change - McKinsey Quarterly - Organization - Change Management

Changing an entire large organization is never easy; only about a third of all such transformations succeed. One problem many organizations run into as they implement a change program is faltering momentum because employees just don’t change the way they work.

Perceptions Matter | WriteforHR

A Leader’s Image Your image is the concept that others form about you as a result of the impressions you make on them. Your effectiveness as a leader is tied to your image.
