Chris,

This jumped off of the page at me..
"Once leaders build credibility for the change with their own behavior"...

WOW!  Great insight!  How many times do we as the leader do we see examples of, "do as I say, not as I do", or "just do what I say"!  The desired change does NOT have credibility because of power or position, but it develops amazing power when the leader sets the stage for change with their own behavior!

Well done!
