How do you lead change?

Many experts proclaim that leadership is solely an issue of inner conviction: You must find the leader deep within yourself.

Other experts encourage you to:

·         Become the person others will want to follow

·         Discover your strengths

·         Increase your self-awareness, self-regulation and authenticity

·         Become emotionally and socially intelligent

·         Visualize to materialize

·         Be true to yourself, and change will happen

If leaders’ own inner commitment to change is to have any effect at all, they must communicate it to those they aspire to lead. Leaders’ actions speak louder than their words, but in the short run, it’s what leaders say — or don’t say — that has an impact.

The right words can create:

· A galvanizing effect

· Enthusiasm

· Energy

· Momentum

· Sustainable motivation

The wrong words, or even words said in the wrong sequence, can undermine your best intentions and plans, killing an initiative on the spot.
