In a world of constant disruption, leaders are under pressure to execute bold transformation strategies faster than ever. But what happens when strategy moves ahead without bringing people along?

In this episode of Climbing the Corporate Ladder Without Breaking a Heel, Dr. Cynthia Bentzen-Mercer is joined by Jen Fisher to explore why compliance may drive short-term results but ultimately undermines innovation, engagement, and trust. Together, they unpack the concept of a "hope strategy" and why leaders must pair transformation with belief, well-being, and human sustainability to create lasting change.

This conversation challenges leaders to rethink how they define success, build culture, and invest in people during uncertain times.
