The Illusion of Control: Why Leaders Lose People During Change

Episode notes

I sit down with Davina Ripton, a change managementconsultant and leadership coach, to explore why so many organisational change initiatives fail - and what leaders can do differently to make change stick. We unpack the psychology of resistance, the illusion of control, and why designing change like a customer experience is the key to sustainable transformation. If you lead people through change, this conversation will shift how you think about leadership and strategic change management. What You Will Learn: Discover why your perfectly planned change project might be setting your people up to fail - and the one thing that makes all the difference. Learn Davina's powerful "Design, Deliver, Embed" framework and the Five Cs that help leaders co-create change that actually lands. Find out why resistance isn't a problem to solve - it's data to decode , and how reframing it can transform your leadership. Here’s to your leadership development and personal growth!
