"Change
is a lot like a Slinky®... A Slinky® can be
a lot of fun, but it is also completely unpredictable."
Author Hans Finzel
Change
or perish. This is a current motto for leaders in all
types of organizations. But how does one adapt to such
fast and furious change and effectively lead the organization
through change intact and more effective?
Hans
Finzel provides a proven strategy in Change is Like
a Slinky®, exploring the major phases in the cycle
of change.
Nine
Ways Change Is Like A Slinky...
1.
You have to take it out of the box to have fun with
it.
2. It comes in many styles and colors.
3. Somebody has to launch it on its
way.
4. The course it takes once it begins
is entirely unpredictable.
5. It routinely gets stuck halfway
down the stairs and has to be relaunched. Repeat as
necessary.
6. It is messy, noisy and chaotic.
7. Before it is launched, it has
stored potential energy when launched, that energy
force becomes kinetic energy.
8. You really don't control it once
it begins its journey.
9. It rarely lands where you predict.
The
book, Change Is Like A Slinky®, by Hans
Finzel combined with a Slinky® featuring a company
