Purpose, sense-making and commitment

There are six key leadership practices that underpin successful change - we start here with the first three: purpose, sense-making and commitment.

At every level of management within an organisation, especially during change, leadership needs to be demonstrated. During this activity we encourage you to think about your own role in leading a change process.

There are six key leadership practices that help underpin successful change which we will spend the next couple of steps focusing on.

  • Sense of purpose
  • Sense-building
  • Commitment
  • Sponsorship
  • Collaboration
  • Energy

In this video, we cover the first three practices: sense of purpose, sense-building and commitment.

In the next step we will look at the rest of the practices and consider what they mean for our own practices.
