This vision defines what the organization will look like <em>after<\/em> the change project is complete. It is this vision that stakeholders must strive towards during the change program.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Develop a story for change.<\/strong> With change managers, good leaders should also craft <a href=\"https:\/\/www.torbenrick.eu\/blog\/change-management\/change-management-require-a-compelling-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">a story for change<\/a>. This story acts as a map during the change process.

With the right emotional traits, leaders can <em>earn<\/em> trust instead of giving orders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Propel change forward.<\/strong> Change management leadership must also actively propel the change forward. They must define agendas, be exacting, overcome barriers to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/5-types-of-organizational-change\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">organizational change<\/a>, and push teams when necessary.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Every change project is different, so the duties of change leaders can also differ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, for change programs to succeed, it\u2019s critical for somebody \u2013 or a few people \u2013 to adopt change leadership duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Traits of a Good Change Leader<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img height=\"499\" width=\"1024\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Traits-of-a-Good-Change-Leader_36672a07.jpg?w=1024&#038;h=499&#038;crop=1\" alt=\"Traits of a Good Change Leader\" class=\"wp-image-17457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Traits-of-a-Good-Change-Leader_36672a07.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Traits-of-a-Good-Change-Leader_36672a07.jpg?resize=300,146 300w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Traits-of-a-Good-Change-Leader_36672a07.jpg?resize=1024,499 1024w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/Traits-of-a-Good-Change-Leader_36672a07.jpg?resize=740,360 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we understand those duties, we can explore what it takes to demonstrate genuine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/glossary\/change-leadership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">change leadership.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, these traits can take time to cultivate \u2026 but they can only be cultivated by applying them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the most important change management skill:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Communication<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/300466\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Communication<\/a> has been named the most important change management skill.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is fundamental in all areas of business, of course. But in change management it can determine the outcome of a project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good communication inspires employees, earns their support, builds trust, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/growth\/?t=21&amp;camp=change\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">increases the growth potential <\/a>for change programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, communication is a two-way street \u2013 it also involves listening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Ability to Inspire Others<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspiration can be accomplished through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Enthusiastically embracing change\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proactive communication<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Offering support and encouragement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Showing the benefits of change<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Successfully inspiring others can greatly impact your success as a leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Enthusiasm<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Positivity and enthusiasm are also traits that fuel success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sincere enthusiasm makes others want to be around you and it inspires them to follow your lead, as just mentioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, insincere enthusiasm is transparent and can have the opposite effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Emotional Intelligence and Empathy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the same vein, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/travisbradberry\/2014\/01\/09\/emotional-intelligence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">emotional intelligence<\/a> and empathy are great leadership qualities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These qualities improve your ability to understand what people are feeling and thinking, even if they don\u2019t say it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In change management, this can be invaluable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among other things, it can help you gauge people\u2019s perception of the change program and its health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Strategic Thinking<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with emotional qualities, leaders must also be business-savvy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strategic thinking, for instance, helps the change management leader be impartial, logical, and objective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This helps them design appropriate strategies for executing change, overcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/4-barriers-to-organizational-change\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">barriers to change<\/a>, and dealing with day-to-day change management activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Forward-Thinking<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like an entrepreneur, a good leader has a vision for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This forward-thinking mindset helps leaders:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stay focused on the goal, instead of becoming mired in minutiae\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Communicate clearly about their vision for change\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Design <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/digital-transformation-strategy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">digital change strategies<\/a> that will work in today\u2019s modern economy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the reason change leaders are leaders is precisely because they can think ahead \u2013 this is why they can create change programs in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Decisiveness<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another essential quality for leaders is decisiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Decision-making \u2013 and the risks that come with it \u2013 are a requirement for leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because this responsibility comes with leadership, anyone in a leadership position should cultivate decisiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8. Confidence<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In every area of business, confidence sells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Words such as \u201cdecisiveness,\u201d \u201cbold,\u201d and \u201cconfident\u201d are usually associated with leaders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traits such as these inspire the same in others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, they prevent unwanted behaviors, such as self-doubt, questioning one\u2019s own actions, timidity, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9. Integrity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A leader should be sincere and have integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who have this quality will earn trust and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lack of integrity, however, builds mistrust and decreases support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10. Self-Improvement<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, leaders must recognize that they aren\u2019t perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is always room for self-improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being a humble lifelong learner isn\u2019t just good for personal growth, it also improves one\u2019s ability to lead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A good change management leader must do a few things \u2013 envision change, embody it, and propel it forward.
