Being A Change Agent...Kathleen Flanagan

"I had some butterflies. All along in my career I’ve been a change agent, and I think the big surprise is how difficult driving change is, and how important it is when you’re making change to have involvement from all levels of the organization; to be selective about what you’re going to change first out of the gate; to not overwhelm the organization, but to set your goal and keep driving toward it. There’s going to be resistance, and by definition not everybody is comfortable with change, but keep your eye on the goal, and be patient enough to be flexible."   --Kathleen L. Flanagan, CEO of ABT Associates
