5. What does Leadership Radar
Detect?
Change
More specifically: The source or cause of a Change.
Change is not bad. Change is not good.
Change is simply something different.

6. A change always comes before
something or someone getting
better or worse.
When change is bad, people will hide change. When change is good,
people will celebrate it. Neither is a good idea.

7. Hidden change is hard to find
They will hide change if they feel or have been told that change is bad.
Sometimes “bad” change is really good.

8. Sometimes “good” change
is really bad.
For example, a person finds a faster way to do daily updates in
their area.
Later you find out that this faster way results in mistakes.

9. It is safer to just label change as it is – change.
The result of change may be good or bad,
but change is simply change.

10. A change can make things
better
For example there is a distracting noise in the office.
The noise gets fixed and is now gone.
This change can make things better for people
in the office who didn’t like the noise
or were distracted by it.

11. A change can make things
worse.
For example, a person gets promoted.
The promotion means that the person has to work more hours to keep
up with responsibilities and getting work done. With the extra hours,
the person becomes unhappy. Being unhappy as a leader, this results
in those around the leader being led by an unhappy person. This
change makes things worse for this person and everyone around
them.

12. A change can result in more
productivity.
For example, a person gets a new chair. This chair is more
comfortable. They can sit and work for longer periods.
This change results in more productivity
and the person is happier.

13. Change can result in less
productivity.
For example, a person gets moved to a new desk.
The new desk is too small for the person to do their work.
This change results in lower productivity and the person
becomes unhappy.

14. A change can make a person
act and operate smarter.
For example, a person stops getting drunk before work.
This person is now able to concentrate better and perform
better at work.
This change results in the person acting smarter at work and
in their job.

15. A change can make a person
act and operate dumber
For example, a person gets high before work.
This person is unable to concentrate and their decisions are
poor and considered dumb by those around them.
This change results in the person acting dumber at work and in
their job.

16. A change can make a person
more patient
For example, a person was in daily pain due to lactose intolerance.
This person was edgy and generally not patient with others due to their
daily abdominal pains.
They stop eating dairy or take a lactaid to handle dairy. This makes
the pain go away.
This change results in the person acting more patient with those around
them.

17. A change can make a person less
patient.
For example, a person gets drunk and comes to work hungover.
This person is normally kind and patient with others,
but has a headache, is foggy, and doesn’t want to be bothered
today.
This change results in the person acting less patient
with those around them.
