Effective managers are recognised for what they managed.

  1. Their organizations and employees have acquired new skills and are better equipped to meet the next challenge.
  2. Uncertainty is not approached blindly, but is tackled with purpose and determination.
  3. There will be resistance to change, but this is healthy as this touches the core of the business.
  4. Targets were achieved through the effect of group dynamics.
  5. Sustainable results are achieved.

Similarly one can recognize organizations that want to change effectively.

  1. These organizations advance flexibility and encourage uncertainty as drivers for innovation. Managers are supported to be decisive in these situations.
  2. They focus is on the environment, their market, clients and employees and avoid simplifications and quick fixes and the like.
  3. They utilize management methods and tools to remain responsive and flexible in unexpected situations.
  4. They allow their employees to develop strategies. Instead of merely adopting the benchmarks provided by international consulting companies, consultants are only engaged to complement the in-house strategies.
