Minisode 1:07 - "Meaningful Change Demands More Than a Memo"

So many organizations launch change from the top—then move on, expecting the rest to follow. But meaningful, lasting change isn’t a one-time announcement or a quick handoff. It requires persistence, patience, and a willingness to face resistance—both from others and from ourselves. When we treat change as a checklist item, it rarely takes root. Real transformation happens only when leaders are able to engage, align and mobilize  others to act to ignite the change. That doesn't happen in an instant. Leaders have to be able to express the change so it becomes meaningful enough to others to quell their resistance and evoke them to act.

 

Where have you seen change initiatives succeed—or stall—for these very reasons?
