#24 Six Common Failures We Make When Leading Change

Episode notes

Welcome to the 3x5 Leadership Podcast where we champion intentional leaders who create significant impacts. This show offers simple, practical strategies to help you live, lead, and learn more intentionally. You can listen to the episode on Apple , Google , or Spotify ! Leaders change and make change. If we are in the business of making people and organizations better, that requires change. But change is hard. It’s messy. It feels like a constant uphill battle against resistance. So, leaders need to use a structured, prepared, and well-developed change plan. But even when we do, we still make common failures. So, let’s explore common failures we make when trying to lead change. In doing so, we hope that we can equip you and your team to better avoid them in the future. Six common failures we discuss in this episode include: Not establishing and communicating a compelling need for change. We don’t communicate the change vision nearly enough. Failing to enable others by removing big obstacles. Don’t build a guiding coalition. We don’t anchor the change for long-term impact.
