Empower Changemakers
Every company has a few people who naturally push things forward. They spot broken processes, try new tools, and rally others. These are your changemakers. If you ignore them, the momentum fades. If you support them, they’ll do a lot of the heavy lifting for you and help you move ideas forward over the finish line.
Supporting them doesn’t mean giving them more work. It means making it easier to launch something, get feedback, and show results. Give them a clear path. Celebrate their wins. Let them share what they’ve learned.
Think of them like internal founders. They don’t need permission. They need a platform. Build that, and they’ll take innovation to places you wouldn’t have reached on your own.
