Consider the metaphor of a theater. One play is in performance, even as the company prepares for a new play simultaneously. Leaders who can focus, like the director of a play, on tangible, concrete features of their organizations, can make change happenon target, on time, on budget. Solutions to problems emerge from practical actions taken to revise and communicate the vision, and modify plant, equipment, tools, processes, worker agreements, and products or services. Developing detailed daily or weekly action plans puts effective changes into motion, as change expertise becomes as second nature as running the business.
