Whether at work or home we always must be ready to change and adapt. In a quickly changing business environment one must learn how to change themselves and transform into a good leader.Adapting to the new norms is a hard process for many leaders as it requires a lot of sacrifices. This article takes a look at the new way of adapting to the changes and lists principles required for this change. The new process is very complex, speculative and less understood according to the article. The traditional principles are divided into three categories where as ACT is divided into ten categories. The main idea of change lies in the person who is requiring the change. The change will not transform current system unless the person leading the change has changed. I agree with this article that in order for change to be effective one must change themselves and with that change observable others will follow. It is interesting that the author writes about leaders and catalyst of change like Gandhi and King. The leader must be one that truly believes that the change is a necessity otherwise the change will not be successful. Leading by an example gains a lot of credibility and trust. This is the reason why leaders like Gandhi and King were so successful. Having the right cause and idea for the change, where everyone would benefit and where no one would be constrained my moral and ethical issues is the optimal environment for change. Understanding ourselves and others well before the change is of great importance. For any leader the change is something they must be accustomed to.
