More often than not, I find clients telling me that their organisation has screwed up a change initiative in the past. If your organisation has a legacy of failure, it can seem a near impossible task to drive change within a culture of mistrust, uncertainty and change fatigue.

If you’re in that boat, you’re not alone and this episode is absolutely for you. I share my 8 steps for leading change when your organisation has screwed up in the past. You’ll hear a summary of each step and some practical tips to help get you moving in the right direction.

I discuss why it’s important to assume that people don’t trust you and how taking this approach will help you guide strategy, planning and decision making moving forward. I talk about the critical step of acknowledging and apologising for past failure and taking a humble approach towards partnership with employees instead of telling and delegating.

When there is a track record of failure, it’s important to understand why the previous change initiatives have failed and I share my tip on diagnostics and actively seeking feedback from your employees throughout the change journey.

I talk about why enlisting the support of your directors and assistant directors is an absolute game changer, keeping time as your friend and doing everything in your power to create a culture of psychological safety.

This is a jam packed episode with so much practical information for you to start driving change in an effective, inclusive, and successful way, even if your organisation has screwed up in the past.
