The Monday Revolution. David Mansfield

what needs to change.

      Starting without a clean sheet is far from easy. My advice here is begin as if you are starting from scratch. Would you have the same people and processes in place? I suspect not. If you’ve just joined the company, in that you’re in charge, you’ll have a window to change things. If you’re not in that happy position, you might need to create some sort of event as a background for getting things done.

      Incidentally, most organisations don’t like this idea. Evolution, not Monday Revolution, well that’s fine but it’s not for me. I’ve seen people move slowly and stick to their knitting until it unravels… In talking to people about their time at the top, I’d say the majority believe they should have acted more radically and much sooner.

      With that in mind, let’s review a few companies I’ve worked in, with and observed. As I’ve already mentioned, I’ve been involved with many companies in a wide range of markets. These potentially exciting roles were rewarding but occasionally fell a little short in some respects, but that was my naivety.
