I was preparing for a presentation about change management and how HCM technology drives results that I plan to deliver at an HCM conference when I saw this video. I must say that Sam Zell really nails it when addressing the staff at Chicago Tribune. This 6 minute video clip is so telling, inspiring and indeed entertaining.

Sense of urgency, attention, and understanding the reason for change are of course the ingredients required to help change something. It doesn’t hurt if you know where you’re going either to funnel the change in the wanted direction. I think Sam nailed it. Win or lose – that’s the game.
