As we have experienced, rethinking tourism is often difficult but as you see, it\u2019s often done. But what never seems to get very far is the execution of what is required to deliver the benefits of the proposed transformation. The resistance to change for a whole variety of sociological and political reasons is stronger on these small islands than it is almost anywhere else. Figuring out a way to lead and manage change is the real task.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some of the biggest frustrations and challenges often faced when implementing new ideas or necessary changes are indeed a lack of leadership for change. Poor change leadership is the second biggest cause of organizational change failure around the world, according to research by the renown global management consulting firm McKinsey.\u00a0 For any initiative to be successful, one factor is always paramount: \u2018Change Leadership\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Positive growth and progress require change-leadership to make good things even better and secure sustainability. Leaders who embrace change can turn their organizations or departments into engines of growth and transformation. It all requires visionary and forward thinking. Major multinational companies have transformed society and user experience through innovative changes. They were all developed by transformational change leaders.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, significant changes are often the result of unforeseen uncertainty or disruptions by natural disasters, pandemic, or recession. In today\u2019s socio-economic environment, change is happening rapidly at a speed that requires faster and better response. \u00a0Change Leaders are able to respond to crises and making decisions to solve challenges if they are empowered and equipped with the right mindset.<\/p>\n<p>Change is happening! Way back in time, the Greek philosopher Heraclitus said that the only constant in life is change. Our older generation talks about \u201cthe good old days\u201d. At elections often the question is asked \u201cAre we better off now than before the previous election?\u201d Nowadays, the expression \u2018New-Normal\u2019 is often mentioned, but no one knows exactly what it is, yet assumes, or rather hopes that is better than the previous \u2018Normal\u2019. The \u2018New-Normal\u2019 is actual an opportunity for visionaries and change leaders to create better ways and better circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Where do we go from here? Let a highly respected leader in the region, be it of government or of the business community, stand up and initiate a \u2018Change Leadership Summit\u2019 for leaders to become more \u201cchange-capable\u201d. Invite appropriate qualified lecturers. Not the run-of-the mill keynote speakers who predict change like astrologers. Rather have professionals with a track record of change accomplishments and for whom dealing with challenges is a core value. Invite academic leaders of reputable institutions of higher learning in the field of executive leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Change Leaders are real leaders. Change Leadership is pro-active and builds momentum for what the future should look like, it excites people to pursue a compelling vision of the future and it improves the odds of success. It inspires people to achieve unexpected or remarkable results . Let\u2019s get things going for the sake of social and economic benefits for the communities in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-1242603271\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Cdr.
