<p>We heard from many of the panelists about the importance of leadership as it relates to change.

<p>The article was introduced as Five Questions for CEO's - but as you can see - it applies to any leader or any one that chooses or influences leaders - does that leave any of us out? I don't think so!</p>
<p><em><strong>1. What is your tolerance for candor?</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>2. Do you learn at or above the speed of change?</strong> <br/></em></p>
<p><em><strong>3</strong>. <strong>What level of accountability do you apply?--(1.) task, (2). project/process, or (3). outcome.</strong><br/></em></p>
<p><em><strong>4. Do you deflect or auto-correct?</strong> deflect = denial, blame, or excuse.</em></p>

<p>Stephanie - great response. I agree that we need the feedback loop and that wait or don't do it could be "successful" outcomes. Is there an outcome that we can agree to that allows for these very important feedback activities and yet does not provide "wiggle room" in the outcome that allows for the declaration of success in the defense of procrastination, abdication our outright subversion?</p>

<p>Respectfully, I would not want to sign up for that outcome. All changes, all the time - the nature of change is that we must have a feedback loop. If we do not respond to that feedback, there is no point in collected it. Sometimes, the feedback is, ... wait. Or don't do this change. Or don't do this change now. Or amend the change in scope, scale, or manner. </p>

<p>An ALO(sm) Accountable Learning Organization model is being defined by a group of volunteers and will be made available to anyone who wishes to learn about it and provide feedback to the definers.</p>
<p>It includes three Critical Components (Outcomes, Financial Impact and Change Management) and one non-optional component (Fit Within the Culture.) There are 80 subcomponents to the model - which are "optional" and likely too many for anyone entity to provide or manage.</p>

<p>We (too) often avoid accountability for outcomes based on our awareness of "all the other factors" that impact outcomes that are "beyond our control." Well - if that is "true" and expected to be "acceptable" might it be interesting to define a framework that allows us to at least make others aware of these factors and help define accountability for them? This is the goal for the ALO(sm) model.</p> Since we have another topic o…tag:georgialearnsnow.ning.com,2016-09-16:6555741:Comment:74342016-09-16T16:20:39.968ZPaul Terlemezianhttp://georgialearnsnow.ning.com/profile/34skzl1mtlumh
<p>Since we have another topic on ROI I will change the suggested outcome to: All changes will be successful all the time (implicit in success is the ROI.)</p>
