KL148: Leading Generative Change

Janet Harvey Keynote Speaker | Award-Winning Author | ICF MCC & Master Generative Coach | Director of Coaching Education Episode Summary In today's rapidly evolving world, the ability to lead change isn't just helpful—it's essential. But what distinguishes leaders who react to change from those who actively create it? In this episode of the Keep Leading!® Podcast, I explored this question with Janet M. Harvey, who introduced a powerful concept: generative change. Rather than simply managing disruption, Harvey shows how effective leaders can harness tension as a driving force for transformation and growth. In this episode, Harvey breaks down her innovative Generative Wholeness™ framework and offers practical strategies for developing this essential leadership skill. Drawing insights from her book "From Tension to Transformation: A Leader's Guide to Generative Change," she reveals how to transition from defensive leadership to a more proactive, creative approach that transforms challenges into catalysts for success. Whether you're facing organizational upheaval or simply want to enhance your leadership skills, this conversation offers actionable tools for becoming the kind of leader who doesn't just navigate change—but creates it.
