Change Starts Here

Relative to the people who need to change the way they work, those who are trying to implement that change often are not in a position of authority. For example, the human resources director responsible for implementing a new performance management system is not the manager of everyone who will adopt the system.

Potential and Motivation

The Agile Manager

When a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact. -- Warren Buffett For a business to have "potential", it needs opportunity, money, willingness, talent, and aptitude. Yes, a business without all of these things still has potential: it might be poorly funded but have knowledge-acquisitive people and a clear opportunity; it may have weak capability but good cash flow.
