Take ownership of a change implementation plan by translating and setting clear goals, communicating clearly, delegating responsibilities, and holding stakeholders accountable.

Reach out to colleagues in other units to learn how change and innovation are orchestrated.

Provide frequent, positive and constructive communications to your team so that everyone remains focused on fulfilling the change implementation plan.

Participate on a team that serves as a pipeline for new initiatives (e.g., Voices of the Staff).

Articulate the need for a particular change to your group. Jot notes and practice your message beforehand with a colleague to fine tune.
