Change doesn’t fail because people resist, but because leaders stay at a distance. 🔭
When leaders are visibly in the work, change becomes shared, not delegated.
That is when people commit.

In a traditional #Weberian-style #bureaucracy, how do #InformalNetworks operate in relation to the formal system ❓
Oke Hendra, Eko Prasojo & Reza Fathurrahman argue that the relationship between the formal & informal is #CompensatoryInformality 👇

For a long time, companies used org charts to explain how work gets done.
But collaboration happens across functions, geographies, and roles. People rely on relationships that do not show up in boxes or lines. 📦
That’s why informal networks matter more than ever…

Leaders influence about half of what happens.
But a small group, around 3%, influence up to 90% of how change is perceived.
In a world where transformation is continuous, it’s important to know who has the real influence.

The informal beats the formal, when it comes to releasing change, productivity, and retention potential…
Also at the factory floor, in rural communities, or at sea. The most powerful force is always the trusted peers.

I’ll host a new Organizational Network Club Talk tomorrow, Nov 20, at 3 PM CET / 9 AM EDT. We’ll explore how a global team used network insights to work as ONE—driven by 35 of 40 team members asking for stronger cross-team ties. Want to join? DM me for our Black Friday deal.

💡The 3% - a small group of individuals that collectively drive the sense-making of 90% of their colleagues.💡
This group has a stronger impact than leaders, which only impacts 50%.
The only way to succeed with change is working directly with these people!

An 8,000-person company had 16 communities, but didn't know:
- Which communities were truly mature
- Where is the biggest opportunity for increased connectivity was hiding
Which community would YOU invest your energy and resources first in - and why?

Stop treating #connection as a one-off event. Start treating it as a long-term design principle.
Sticky relationships aren’t the problem. They’re the starting point. That’s why you need to make sure they stick in the right places!

Everyone nodded.
Everyone agreed.
And nothing happened.
🤐 Silence isn’t buy-in. It could mean confusion, disagreement, disengagement...
Leaders, if your team isn’t reacting, you’re not listening well.
Change often fails in silence.

The 3% in smaller organizations make all the difference.
In this 200-person company, just 6 individuals shape the commitment of 88% of their colleagues.
That’s the power of informal influence.
💬 How are you finding and activating your 3%?

Your comms plan looks great.
Until you realize… it’s just not reaching people.
Top-down only works if the middle and bottom talk about it.
So the question is: who do people talk with?
Talk with the 3%. That’s how change sticks.

🚨 Who do you turn to when things go south? 🚨
Not all "fixers" are the same. Some are highly competent, but lack empathy. Others are supportive, but lack skills to truly solve a problem.
The real game-changers have both high competence and high sympathy.

The idea that counting messages gives you the true picture of how your organization is networked is just wrong.
It exposes you to making:
◼️wrong decisions
◼️losing precious resources
◼️making a negative impact!

Even in small teams of 40, analytics reveal critical disconnects hidden by visuals. Despite 98% appearing connected, data shows 27% aren't utilized for expertise. These gaps exist regardless of team size, impacting performance and innovation. #connectivity #informalnetworks #networkanalytics
