LC66: Leading Change & Improvement

LeapCard 66 introduces a practical approach to leading change within an organization.

It contrasts two types of change: gradual, continuous improvement (shown as a green upward line labeled "Possible") and rapid, one-time efforts like campaigns or major initiatives (represented by steep curves).

The card encourages leaders to inspire change rather than impose it. It promotes moving beyond traditional “carrot and stick” methods and adopting a “less is more” mindset—an idea captured in the phrase innovation by reduction.

To support this, the card suggests actions such as:

  • Working on real-world application projects
  • Creating buddy teams and alumni networks
  • Celebrating progress regularly
  • Using personal reflection tools like journaling or sending postcards to oneself

Overall, LeapCard 66 helps leaders build sustainable change by reducing resistance, maintaining motivation, and engaging with supportive networks.
