Abstract

Leading change is a topic of paramount importance. But a missing ingredient for many such leaders has been how to translate concepts into actions, continuous improvements and sustainable results. This toolkit by Wallace Senior Education Program Officer Jody Spiro was developed to fill that need in several key areas of the change process: assessing and improving participants' readiness; engaging stakeholders; planning "early wins;" minimizing resistance; using collaborative planning methods; and developing ways to bring initiatives to scale and sustain them over time.
