It's a pity Peter Merry's book evolutionary leadership isn't out in English yet (Sigh) Have you read it in Dutch yet? It addresses two scenarios for change - in the one, you have people in positions of power who can sponsor it, in the other, you have people who care and who feel the itch.

At the end of the first six months, NTI had identified 18 such opportunities. Following the success of this initiative, satellite units were encouraged throughout SEMCO. By the late 1980s, these satellite units accounted for two-thirds of its new products and two-thirds of its employees.
