What's Your Strategy to Lead Through All This Change?

Lead In 30 Podcast

Your brain hates and loves change. It despises it yet craves it at the same time. If it's true for your brain then it's true for all your employees too. So, as the rate of change increases in the world around us - think tariffs, think AI, think market swings, think customer demands, think hybrid work - have you stopped to consider what your strategy is for leading through change?
Here's some of what Lone Rock Leadership co-founder Russ Hill dives into in this jam-packed episode:

• Status quo bias makes us perceive changes as threats, triggering unconscious resistance
• Novelty seeking drives our desire for innovation, new experiences, and fresh approaches
• The modern workplace is transforming at unprecedented speed, requiring greater adaptability
• Leaders must position themselves on the past-present-future continuum based on their role
• Senior executives need to operate 6-12 months ahead while building teams that handle present operations
• Effective change leadership acknowledges both our resistance to change and desire for innovation
• Organizations moving too slowly risk irrelevance while those changing too frequently create fatigue
• Building strong teams enables leaders to focus on future strategy rather than present operations
In our next episode, we'll explore the tactical aspects of leading people through the three stages of organizational change.
