How to Be a Changemaker
The leadership skills that worked in the past are quickly becoming irrelevant in today's fast-paced, change-is-the-name-of-the-game world. To be effective, you need to know how to adapt to and drive change. Here are the six core skills that can turn you into a changemaker:
  • Bring people together who aren't connected.
  • Design new business models by combining players and resources in new ways.
  • Persevere with an idea until you see success.
  • Don't rely on credentials, but on the power of your ideas.
  • Persuade others to see the possibility of your ideas and join you in the pursuit.
  • Empower others to also make change.
Harvard Business Review Blog Today's Management Tip was adapted from "Rodrigo Baggio's Persuasive Leadership" by Bill Drayton and Valeria Budinich.
