What holds you back?

RISK-TAKING: “99% OF SUCCESS

IS BUILT ON FAILURE” CHARLES

KETTERING

• Tolerance for risk• Public agencies have a very low

tolerance for risk• Steadily execute standard

procedures• Passively react to new stimuli• Less risky to wait for orders to

come from above

• Take initiative and reinterpret your mission, processes, etc. in light of environmental changes

• Walk the talk, lead by example

We’re going to need a bigger boat.

THE IMPORTANCE OF VISION

• Have to know where we’re going in order to get there

• Without vision there is confusion & reactive mode of operation

• Vision transforms strategy into way of life

• Clearer the vision the greater energy for the journey

• Vision empowers people

IMPORTANCE OF LEADERSHIP AND CHANGE- 21ST CENTURY LEADERSHIP

Earlier Paradigm

WHAT DOES DISENGAGEMENT LOOK LIKE?

REALLY?????

EVER TRIED. EVER FAILED. NO MATTER. TRY AGAIN. FAIL AGAIN. FALL BETTER.

Samuel Beckett, Westward Ho

Someone has to lead.... why not you?
