When we talk about change management we hear management experts go on and on about how the dynamics of leadership works in the realm of the human innate characteristics and primate politics. And yet it is so simple really if these gurus of management will step back and study children playing in a sand box and watching what we call natural leadership, disruption, anti-social behavior and such.

We see people writing books on change management and making a big stink about it, when in reality it is one of the simplest things in the world. Forget all the MBA text book stuff for a moment and consider picking teams to play a basket ball game in the park. There are two captains who will pick the teams and everyone else lines up.

Now then what goes thru your mind during the picking if you are the captain? Well you pick certain people for certain skill sets who will work best with others. You pick people who both get along and respect others, but do not hog the ball. You pick what you believe to be the best compromise situation in order to win and the best team you think you can have to do it. You are of course competing with the other team captain for the best people.

Those who are second and third choices may need to be taught a certain level of play or other considerations and the goal is to win. Okay got it? Now then one team takes off their shirts and they are skins and now you play. When you pick teams next time that is change management. When someone has to go home and someone else wants to play you substitute players without losing your momentum. Change management is so simple really.
