Episode 18 (Grow and Lead)

One of the most useful book I read about leadership is (Developing The Leader Within You 2.0) written by John C. Maxwell. The writer shares his long experience in leadership field which make the book very practical and useful.

The third section of the book is titled with (The Ultimate Test of Leadership: Creating Positive Change). Change is one of the biggest challenge for any leader since many people will resist change. Simply, many don't like to change because they want to be in their current situation which makes leader's role in creating positive change harder. 

There are also other reasons that people resist change as the author stares such as:

- People will feel confused and shy when doing something new.

- People are afraid of being laughed on.

After that, the author suggests some essential steps to be followed while creating positive change:

- Specify early the required change.

- Organize your steps.

- Modify your priorities.

- Inform main people.

- Provide time for accepting change.

- Start Implementation.

- Expect Problems.

- Praise always successes.

- Provide daily progress.

Following above steps will raise the chances of creating the positive change, still the leader should improve his internal change because as it is said: (If you didn't change yourself, it will be difficult to change others).

Any leader should care about changing positively then people will accept the changes more frequently.
