Leading Change: Post #3--Creating the Coalition

Step Two:

But with a strong coalition, change can happen. The group has to bond quickly—in both heart and mind—often done at an offsite facilitated by a professional. The team must have leaders with positional power (key corp. leaders); experts who know relevant information about the area being changed; and credible informal leaders in the company whom people respect.
