    064: Why change fails - In Good Company with Duncan Lydon

    Impact’s Global Lead of Transformation and Leadership, Duncan Lydon explains why change processes fail 70% of the time and how getting to grips with the emotional core of change can make it lasting and successful. This In Good Company podcast covers: 💬 Why change is fundamentally personal and emotionally driven 💬 How negative past experiences shape resistance to organisational change 💬 Why technical change mapping works - but cultural change doesn’t fit neatly on a plan 💬 How experiential learning creates real behaviour shifts 💬 Why fear, uncertainty and loss derail change processes 💬 The skills leaders need to tune into emotion, create clarity and connect people to the bigger picture If you're navigating transformation, supporting teams through uncertainty, or redesigning culture, this conversation offers a context rich and deeply human perspective on what truly makes change stick. “People ask: how is this going to affect me? Emotions drive behaviour - but organisations rarely give that enough attention.” Listen / watch now to find out more. 🔔 If you like this... why not subscribe to our YouTube and Spotify channels so you never miss an episode of In Good Company?
