Rule #7 - Overcome the Resistance to Change

The New Rules of Disruption

In this episode we discuss:

• My personal experience dealing with the resistance to change due to an overwhelming feeling of shame and embarrassment.
• A key component of disruptive, transformative leadership is being able to redefine and reframe failure.
• How we set goals and reward their attainment directly impacts change capacity. Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) are a powerful way to set audacious goals with the full knowledge that you won't hit them. And that's OK!
• People resist change because they don’t know how to deal with uncertainty.
• Using scenarios can be a very helpful tool in dealing with uncertainty and providing clarity on the most important things to be done.
• As a transformative leader, address the fear of uncertainty by anticipating the emotions of change, and erecting trust "scaffolding" to hold space for people.
