Leading Through Change – Sometimes You Have To Upset The Apple Cart

Staying still is the fastest way to fall behind. Making massive shifts naturally pushes individuals and organizations into the “pit of despair”—that chaotic middle phase of any major project where doubt creeps in, obstacles peak, and critics whisper, “We never should have done this”. 

In this session, we learn how to anticipate the friction in advance, stripping power from the naysayers and keeping the team pushing forward toward long-term success. Whether you are retooling your operations, shifting brand direction, or taking on a major transformation growth is rarely neat. Sometimes, you have to upset the apple cart to find a better way to put back the apples.
