A simple map will show the size, distribution and impact of areas on the map, all the cities (including those of Colorado, Washington D.C., San Antonio) and areas of Washington, Oregon, and Maine.

Now we will look into how to build the winning coalition, the leader needs to identify the potential supporters and blocking coalitions as successful transformation cant be achieved without critical mass of support. The leader needs to develop an approach to deal with the blocking coalition. Listening to the influential parties and thought leaders, showing respect helps to maintain morale and focus.

Being an effective coalitional leader requires shoring up bases of support for change. An example of coalitional leadership can be found in the case of Goldman Sachs during the 1980s and early 1990s.
