Kodak CEO Steps Down - Film @ 11

If for a second you think this whole change game is easy.. let's go back to my favourite case study of a company whose strategic plan should have been 3 words long:

Change or Die.

Burdened with a 12 Billion dollar company, where 70% percent of the business was rapidly becoming obsolete, Kodak CEO Daniel A. Carp stepped down because he couldn't turn the ship around fast enough.

From the Washington Post:



I always find it concerning when an organization finds itself in a situation where it is fighting for its life, and they refer to it as 'painful' not invigorating, motivating, or revitalizing...



The point is - change now, while you can, while it can be 'fun' and while you have the chance.

I don't care how big/popular/successful you are, get the wrecking ball out now..
