The "Change Management Manifesto"

If you are familiar with agile techniques from the software development industry, I propose that we as change leaders, can benefit from reflecting on agile principles. You can reference "The Agile Manifesto" at http://agilemanifesto.org. In the same spirit, I propose the following "Change Management Manifesto". The most effective change approaches embrace:

- Shared success over heroic efforts - Culture evolution over strategic planning - Customer-centric results over parochial goals - Personal growth over organizational growth

While a comprehensive change management approach values and addresses all the concepts presented herein, this manifesto proposes the first attributes over the second attributes.

Much like the Agile Manifesto, I invite you to become a signatory of this manifesto and leave a comment to this post.
