Management is more than an organisational function. It is a vital capability for all institutions & the foundation of societal progress. The Peter Drucker Society has launched an initiative called "Next Management" – a call to action to reframe management for the disruptive challenges ahead. It sets out seven shifts to enable management to act as a stronger force for good for individuals, organisations & society as a whole: globalfocusmagazine.com/the-…. Via @rstraub46.

How many people does it take to change an organisation, system or culture? In his book "Change, How to Make Big Things Happen", @DamonCentola shows how change became inevitable when 25% of the people were on the side of making the shift - a “committed minority group” driving the change. But how do we get to 25%? Three strategies: 1) Use "non violent" change processes: where people can come into the change, make it their own, be part of a co-creative process & see/feel their stamp on the change. 2) Adopt the "Active, Sustained 3.5% Rule": a much smaller group actively engaged at the heart of the change, sustained over time. 3) Adopt the "Law of One Person and One Step": where we don’t need to train everybody, but instead, coach a small group of people to create a non-violent resistance to the old ways of working & bring new ways in. danielstillman.com/blog/mini….
