There are 8 principles developed by Kotter that define how a manager can perform changes in the organization where they work:

• create a sense of urgency
  • Communicate the importance of acting quickly
• build a guiding coalition
  • The coalition is born out of the organization own ranks, especially when starting, one must consider also how to build trust in a team
  • Related (loosely) to Crazy quilt around a product
• form a strategic vision and initiatives
  • Explain how the future is different from the past and what things are possible to reach there.
• enlist a volunteer army
  • Communicate your vision so that others can join. This relates to making big changes in an organization, but can also be useful to gather momentum when starting.
• enable action by removing barriers
  • Remove silos and work across domains. Empower people to act by themselves.
• generate short-term wins
  • Show, recognize, communicate. They are a powerful driving force.
• sustain acceleration
  • Press harder after success. Be relentless. Be mindful of your increase in credibility to further drive changes
• institute change
  • Make the link between the new habits and the organizational success. Be sure to cement the new behavior such that it persists in the organization.
