Move past the obstacles and implement your new strategy

Move is your guide to mobilizing your whole organization to take your business forward. Whatever your needed transformation may be: a new initiative, a new market, a new product, your fresh strategy is up against a powerful foe: an organization's tendency to stay very busy and completely engaged what it's already doing. This book shows you how to cut through resistance and get your team engaged and proactively doing the new thing! Author Patty Azzarello draws on over twenty-five years of international business management experience to identify the chronic challenges that keep organizations from decisively executing strategy, and to give you a practical game plan for breaking through. Leaders tend to assume that stalls in execution are inevitable, unchanging parts of the workplace―but things can change. At the heart of every execution problem is the fact that there simply are not enough people doing what the business needs. This guide shows you how to get your entire organization on board―remove the fear, excuses, and hurdles―and uphold the new pursuit against distractions and dissent.

No transformation can succeed without suitable engagement from the whole organization, but building engagement can be difficult, uncomfortable, and tentative. This book shows you how to get it done.

  • Get your organization to embrace and personally commit to the new work
  • Remove obstacles and passive aggressive attacks that block progress
  • Defend new strategic initiatives against short term pressures to revert to "business as usual"
  • Sustain momentum and the desire to move forward
  • Make sure no one is ever asking, 'Are we still doing this?'

Inertia isn't just a law of the universe, it's a law in the workplace that can be a major obstacle to making things happen. The great thing about inertia is that it cuts two ways: a body at rest remains at rest, but a body in motion remains in motion. People love to finish things. Move shows you how to make successful execution the new norm―starting today.

Praise for MOVE

"Any organization that isn't adapting to the trends reshaping business today is going to find itself left behind by more nimble and forward-thinking competitors. You need this book, not to tell you what transformations you need to make, but to ensure the transformations you initiate actually work."
―Rich Sanzi, Vice President of Engineering, Google

"In any kind of transformation, keeping the energy high, and the skepticism low is critical to success―and difficult to do! Patty Azzarello has a unique way of understanding how to drive transformational change because she has done it herself, and guided many leaders and teams through the process. MOVE is a great read for any leader who wants to get and keep their organization invested in implementing a bold new strategy."

It is the difference between activity and results. The MOVE model will allow you to get your whole organization engaged and focused on delivering the results of your strategic plan."
―Don Joos, CEO, ShoreTel Inc.

"One of the hardest things to make happen when you are driving a transformation is to get people to change their behaviors. In MOVE, Patty Azzarello explains exactly what makes people choose to embrace the new strategy or resist it. Any leader trying to motivate their organization to implement a new strategy needs to read this book."
―Iram Shah, Senior Vice President Customer Transformation, Schneider Electric

Aus dem Klappentext

Too many new initiatives lose drive and direction before they finish. At the beginning, when a team first commits to implementing a new strategy, there is great energy and enthusiasm driven by the allure of the end goal. But then comes the long, dangerous part in "The Middle" where everything needs to get done, obstacles inevitably spring up, and people feel a strong temptation to revert to the old ways. MOVE explains how to keep your team focused, motivated, and resilient enough to push through the unavoidable, chronic challenges that derail most change initiatives.

Some of the most recognizable brands in the world use the MOVE methodology to ensure their change strategies don't stall. Business transformation expert Patty Azzarello explains the four components of a prosperous business transformation, and exactly what it takes to keep everyone moving the new strategy forward, including:

  • The key elements in an execution plan that guarantee accountability and momentum
  • Empowering tools for transforming the team you have into the team you need
  • A powerful new way to think about leading and communicating, to genuinely engage people throughout the implementation

Your company has a lot riding on the strategic changes it needs to make. The MOVE model will help you make sure that everyone stays engaged, maintains momentum, and that your initiatives succeed.
