Leading change is not just about methodologies, project plans, or frameworks.
It begins with the question:
Is the organisation truly ready for change?
In this episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour. I once again meet Linda Lenox for a deeper conversation about what truly determines whether an organisational change succeeds – or quietly fades away.
The truth is this:
Most change initiatives do not fail because of a lack of structure.
They fail because people and leadership are not fully ready.
We talk about change leadership in practice. About ownership. About resistance. About identity. And about how you, as a leader, can protect both your credibility and your energy when stepping into a change
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why 60–70% of all change projects fail
- “Everyone else needs to change – but not me”
- How identity and power influence resistance
- Outsourcing and major structural changes
- What you need to ask before saying yes to a change role
- Who truly sets the direction in an organisation
- The importance of a clear vision, mandate, budget, and measurable goals
- The difference between technical success and real business value
- Making change happen for verksamheten – inte to IT
This episode is for you if you:
- Leading change initiatives
- Considering taking on a new role
- Are an internal change leader or an external consultant
- Want to work more sustainably and strategically with change
