The keys to success lie within every organization

In The Six Secrets of Change, Michael Fullan lays out factors that allow an organization to sustain meaningful change. Collegiality must be deliberately cultivated, long-range plans must allow for the unknown, employees must be nurtured, learning must occur frequently, leadership must be developed at all levels, and positive pressure must be inescapable. Fullan convinces us that a leader who attends to all these things will have an organization that is constantly learning, growing, and thriving.
