I didn't always but now I see my ability to facilitate change as the only way I can keep my job. In some respects doing "good things" is not as important as doing "things", at least not to my investors.
I am deep into writing a book on "change" and if asked to cite the most important thing I've learned from all my research, it would be that a successful manager is one who can help the organization deal with change.
Not "lead", "manage", etc.
Most of the change we all must face is reactive rather than change we initiate. The better we are at doing that, the more successful we will be, both in our professional and personal lives.
