Text Quotes
Leaders establish the vision for the future and set the strategy for getting there; they cause change. They motivate and inspire others to go in the right direction and they, along with everyone else, sacrifice to get there (John P Kotter Quotes)
I’m impatient. Typically people think they know all about change and don’t need help. Their approach tends to be more management-oriented than leadership-oriented. It’s very frustrating (John P Kotter Quotes)
Because management deals mostly with the status quo and leadership deals mostly with change, in the next century we are going to have to try to become much more skilled at creating leaders (John P Kotter Quotes)
People change what they do less because they are given an analysis that shifts their thinking than because they are shown a truth that influences their feelings (John P Kotter Quotes)
Neurologists say that our brains are programmed much more for stories than for abstract ideas. Tales with a little drama are remembered far longer than any slide crammed with analytics (John P Kotter Quotes)
The central issue is never strategy, structure, culture, or systems. The core of the matter is always about changing the behavior of people (John P Kotter Quotes)
Many years ago, I think I got my first insight on how an incredibly diverse team can work together and do astonishing things, and not just misunderstand each other and fight (John P Kotter Quotes)
A higher rate of urgency does not imply ever-present panic, anxiety, or fear. It means a state in which complacency is virtually absent (John P Kotter Quotes)
One of the most common ways to overcome resistance to change is to educate people about it beforehand. Communication of ideas helps people see the need for and the logic of a change. The education process can involve one-on-one discussions, presentations to groups, or memos and reports (John P Kotter Quotes)
Motivation and inspiration energize people, not by pushing them in the right direction as control mechanisms do but by satisfying basic human needs for achievement, a sense of belonging, recognition, self-esteem, a feeling of control over one’s life, and the ability to live up to one’s ideals. Such feelings touch us deeply and elicit a powerful response (John P Kotter Quotes)
Great leadership does not mean running away from reality. Sometimes the hard truths might just demoralize the company, but at other times sharing difficulties can inspire people to take action that will make the situation better (John P Kotter Quotes)
Overcoming complacency is crucial at the start of any change process, and it often requires a little bit of surprise, something that grabs attention at more than an intellectual level. You need to surprise people with something that disturbs their view that everything is perfect (John P Kotter Quotes)
Managers are trained to make incremental, programmatic improvements. They aren’t trained to lead large-scale change (John P Kotter Quotes)
Outsiders have the intuitive ability to continually view problems in fresh ways and to identify ineffective practices and traditions (John P Kotter Quotes)
Good communication is not just data transfer. You need to show people something that addresses their anxieties, that accepts their anger, that is credible in a very gut-level sense, and that evokes faith in the vision (John P Kotter Quotes)
Producing major change in an organization is not just about signing up one charismatic leader. You need a group - a team - to be able to drive the change. One person, even a terrific charismatic leader, is never strong enough to make all this happen (John P Kotter Quotes)
In terms of getting people to experiment more and take more risk, there are at least three things that immediately come to my mind. Number one, of course, is role-modeling it yourself. Number two is, when people take intelligent, smart risks and yet it doesn’t work out, not shooting them. And number three, being honest with yourself. (John P Kotter Quotes)
The world has 6 billion people and counting. We need to help 500 million people become better leaders so that billions can benefit. (John P Kotter Quotes)
If the culture you have is radically different from an ‘experiment and take-risk’ culture, then you have a big change you going to have to make - and no little gimmicks are going to do it for you. (John P Kotter Quotes)
People change what they do less because they are given an analysis that shifts their thinking than because they are shown a truth that influences their feelings. (John P Kotter Quotes)
Because management deals mostly with the status quo and leadership deals mostly with change, in the next century we are going to have to try to become much more skilled at creating leaders. (John P Kotter Quotes)
Good communication does not mean that you have to speak in perfectly formed sentences and paragraphs. It isn’t about slickness. Simple and clear go a long way. (John P Kotter Quotes)
We keep a change in place by helping to create a new, supportive, and sufficiently strong organizational culture. (John P Kotter Quotes)
No vision issue today is bigger than the question of efficiency versus some combination of innovation and customer service. (John P Kotter Quotes)
The vast majority of large scale change efforts fail. Which means that the probability that you have actually experienced a failure, and your people know that and are pessimistic, therefore, about trying something again, is very high. (John P Kotter Quotes)
Great leaders understand that historical success tends to produce stable and inwardly focused organizations, and these outfits, in turn, reinforce a feeling of contentment with the status quo. (John P Kotter Quotes)
Leadership defines what the future should look like, aligns people with that vision, and inspires them to make it happen despite the obstacles (John P Kotter Quotes)
The heart of change is in the emotions (John P Kotter Quotes)
Motivation is not a thinking word; it’s a feeling word (John P Kotter Quotes)
Never underestimate the power of the mind to disempower (John P Kotter Quotes)
