How to Lead Change as the Newbie
summary
Claims a new leader wins by prioritizing relationships, clarifying start with why, and then choosing whether the change will fix, improve, or create; offers concrete tools: a timed 8-box idea burst (eight ideas at 15 seconds each yields rapid options — five people → 40 ideas), the ELMO — Enough Let’s Move On timebox for decisions, and using Tuckman’s forming→storming→norming→performing to pace change. Remote teams require far more repetition (communicate times 20), and local adaptation (PSG Academy in India) proves building a unique solution works better than copying.
