I've worked very successfully, and generated significant improvements in performance, in a large number of organisations where upper management had little or nothing to do with supporting changes in leadership activity. What was important was that the head of the business unit I was working with actively supported those changes and expected the new way of doing things be implemented. A manager doesn't need to be a member of the senior management team to be a key influencer of change. One question to ponder is who is upper management?

The problem is, what do people who aren't intuitive leaders do? They need training and guidance. And they need to be supported and motivated to apply what they've learned to the situations they face day to day. All true. The problem is, what do people who aren’t intuitive leaders do?

Good leaders can do this instinctively; they understand what needs to be done and the people they are leading.
