Dear lovely people,
The appointment
of Atungshiri as the new CEO of Everest
Holdings was the happiest news of the year to his staff and especially his
senior management staff. Atungshiri until that morning was serving as the Director
of Administration and Finance but he had demonstrated to his colleagues from
top to bottom that he was the active and committed leader unlike his
controversial predecessor.
Even before his
much awaited appointment, the entire staff looked at him rather than his predecessor when making change. Well,
that was not very strange because people look up to those they consider a good
leader when making decisions. Generally, the senior staff at Everest, were very
sensitive to Atungshiri’s unspoken and understated messages. When he simply
showed up for a meeting and didn't seem committed, the rest of the team knew it
and placed the change effort lower on their priority list. They found it
difficult to enact change without seeing Atungshiri firmly on board, they dragged
their legs, giving all sort of complains. The board of directors at Everest,
understood clearly that in change efforts, leaders must fulfill
their leadership role by being accessible, available, active, and articulate
about change. Atungshiri had over the years clearly demonstrated this
and so he won their admiration.
“If the rhythm of the drum beat changes, the dance step must
change.”
you’ve heard that before right? No matter your dreams in life, persistence is necessary. But persisting
with an approach that isn't working isn't smart - it's a waste of time. The board of Evarest Holdings clearly
understood the changing drum beat within their company and so Atugshiri the
drummer, had a new job.
Part II will be yours in the Next Post
