Chery,

Yes, it would be a great sit down discussion. We need to have a Lead Change meeting in Dallas!

Values are an essential element, and it needs to be values in action. I agree it needs to be more than words. Training and holding key organizational stakeholders accountable to the vital values will be key to making it work. The stray leaders and managers are what will cause the rift to grow, unless they are held in check and accountable.

Maybe the perfume/cologne analogy can go one step further.... When the air can be cleared and value clarified, then the right passion alignment can happen!

Thanks for your comments.... Great additions!

Jon
