How to Lead Change

Over the past 12-18 months, there’s been one topic that has come up in virtually every conversation I’ve had with clients, with leaders I advise, and with guests on The Edge of Work Podcast. And that word is Change.

Not because change is new, it (it is not). But something about this moment feels different. The sheer number of changes happening at once. The pressure to manage immediate disruption while also planning for the long term. Being asked to lead others through uncertainty while you’re still figuring it out yourself. Or many other reasons.

I’ve spent the better part of the last year trying to understand what makes this time uniquely hard,  and what leaders who are navigating it well are actually doing differently, and today, I’m sharing what I found.

How to Lead Change: Modern Practices for Leading Change is my most recent report, distilled from my speaking, coaching and advising work and from dozens of conversations with leaders across industries.

This report covers:

– Why change in 2026 feels categorically different  and why traditional frameworks are falling short

– The human dynamics that determine whether change actually sticks

– The most common barriers that quietly kill even well designed change efforts

– Six practical actions leaders can use right now

If you’re leading change,  or trying to build the capability to do it well on your team, I hope you find it useful.

If you get a chance to read, please reply and let me know what resonates.
