Organizations are facing more pressure than ever to transform their practices in order to improve their outcomes. Competition is fierce. The speed of information and higher demands from consumers forces leaders to shift the way change is approached. Commonly, there is much anxiety attached to change, people like to do things, “the way they’ve always done it,” but that’s not the attitude that will achieve success in today OR tomorrow’s world. Individuals, leaders, and organizations need to view change as a positive opportunity to take their mission to a higher level. Focus on the goal, not the barrier.&nbsp;This episode addresses questions, such as:<ul><li>What does change look and feel like?</li><li>How do we shift the way we think about change?</li><li>Why must organizations adapt to continuous change rather than episodic change?</li><li>What are the 3 most common barriers to organizational change? &nbsp;</li></ul>&nbsp;&nbsp;Recommended Learning: <a href="https://9principles.com/learning/anticipating-change/">Anticipating Change</a> &amp; <a href="https://innov8rs.co/news/building-the-case-for-change/">Building the Case for Change</a> &amp; <a href="https://innov8rs.co/news/how-do-we-get-better-at-change/">How Do We Get Better at Change?</a>
