Working my way up the corporate ladder. I have so many thoughts on leadership and want to initiate changes in the departments I work with. But at this level it's so difficult. Ppl are so resistant to change.

My key learning thus far in my career: Noone gives a shit about your ideas unless you're a head honcho. Real change is brought about from a position of authority.

Authority certainly helps but bringing data to back up your positions can be a very impactful and moves them from theories to reality for many leaders.

Also, that same data set can often be used to demonstrate the impact of the solution or I initiative you are looking to pursue once implemented, building your credibility.

Good luck!

People are resistant to change when they don’t trust the leader who’s bringing about the change. Work on building trust and winning people over. Personality is a big part of getting to the top.

Anything else that people have negotiated during their exit? I'd be leaving a large amount of bonus on the table to leave before the end of the year.
