Leaders must place a focus on the crucial role of political capital in driving transformative change within a company. It highlights the need for transformational leaders to invest time in cultivating relationships with peers and understanding their motivations. The initial 90 days are critical for assessing concerns, alignment with transformation goals, and building trust. Key questions to ask senior leaders include the importance of change, departmental interactions, visibility of objectives, trust in other leaders, and comprehension of the corporate vision. Successful transformation requires a balance of science and art, combining logical decision-making with emotional intelligence and trust-building.
