Ep 11: Leading Organisational Change 1: Q&A Episode

Season 1: Episode 11 - Q&A: Leading Organisational Change 1

Your team is frustrated because not only is the company changing exponentially, but they don’t feel well equipped for those many changes.

The changes feel hurried, overwhelming and sometimes as if they are the kinds of changes that will NOT help them, but only serve the company’s interests.

As a result, team morale drops, resistance is high and the level of buy-in from the most key team members is low to non-existent.

What do leaders do in this case??

We’ve taken a few questions that leaders have asked us and created this Q&A episode to support leaders who want a practical place to start when leading change and transformation.

In this episode, you can expect responses to these questions;

Why is my team resisting change?
Are senior leaders really ‘out of touch’? Why don’t they ‘get it’??
How do I, as a leader/manager, help our people to care about the change??

Leaders who are passionate about transformative change will truly appreciate this practical and easy-to-follow episode.

Have other questions you’d like us to answer in a Q&A episode?? Share them with us in the comments of this episode!

Ep 13 - Don’t CONFORM - Challenge Convention!!

Season 1: Episode 13 - Emanuel’s UnLearning Journey

If you're having trouble conforming to 'business as usual' and want to get better at the skill of 'critical thinking' - you'll ♥️ this!

When we speak to UnLearners, one thing they often confess is that -

They were taught to blend in, instead of stand out and to conform, rather than rock the boat... 😞

It’s as if the world is not kind to individuals who challenge the status quo, push back at convention and continue to ask ‘why not!?’

UnLearners are those who learn, change, grow and challenge the ‘norm’ because they see untapped potential in themselves, their work environment or the world.

The trouble with being an unlearner is that not everyone is ready or receptive to your radical, expansive ideas, suggestions or beliefs...

So what’s an unconventional, divergent person to do??

Non-Conformist and Group Head of Business Growth & Development at The Blake Group, Emauel Pillay, helps us answer this probing question.

In this episode you can expect;

Details on Emanuel’s unlearning journey
An example of how many of us begin as divergent, unchained children, only to become docile adults
How to begin building the habit of owning your views and challenging convention where it matters
The value of speaking your truth even when your identity risks changing
