| Measure readiness for change at new job before starting
But I'm getting strong resistance to my efforts. Other than my own attempts, I'm not seeing a lot of movement toward change. Should I forge ahead or back off? Answer: Single-handedly attempting to bring about culture change is not the best position from which to launch your career with a new organization. If change is the mandate, and it's not yet clear that it is, you'll be better served by first attending to a few important details. Evaluate the company's commitment to change. During the interview process, the case for change sometimes gets overstated. Now that you're there, you'll have to reinterpret the merit of the desired change, as well as the company's tolerance for the pain and turmoil that such an initiative creates, at least initially. Embark on a course of radical change only if key players are championing the change and their support is evident.
Poll good news for Ken
London Mayor Ken Livingstone has stretched his lead over Conservative rival Boris Johnson according to the latest opinion poll. The YouGov/ITV London poll shows Mr Livingstone with 44 per cent of the vote, increasing his lead over Mr Johnson from 1 per cent in the last survey to 4 per cent. The poll followed a Channel 4 Dispatches programme which criticised the mayor's record and his management of the London Development Agency. A Livingstone campaign spokesman welcomed the poll result, saying internet polling had traditionally underestimated his support. Liberal Democrat candidate Brian Paddick picked up 8 per cent of the vote. The London mayoral election is due on May 1. .
