    Why Smart Leaders Break Under Change (And How to Adapt Without Losing Standards) | Erin Ramirez

    Send a text Most leaders say they’re adaptable. Until the plan changes. Until pressure hits. Until uncertainty shows up. In this episode, I sit down with Erin Ramirez, organizational scientist and leadership coach, to talk about why change exposes leadership gaps—and what dependable leaders do differently when things stop being predictable. We cover: Why rigidity feels safe but limits growthHow adaptable leaders adjust without lowering their standardsWhat uncertainty does to identity and decision-makingThe difference between reacting and leading through changeOne small adjustment you can make this week to lead more effectively This conversation is for anyone leading in a season where the answers aren’t clear and the environment keeps shifting. Leadership doesn’t mean having it all figured out. It means staying responsible when the context changes. 🎧 Listen here:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/think-like-a-leader-podcast/id1823531510 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6cKPkGAcU48faXarIFUD2o YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThnkLikeALeader 🔔 Stay connected:Get weekly tools and insights in The 2% Edge newsletter: https://www.thinklikealeaderpod.com Guest profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erinrdramirez/ www.realchangestudio.com PodMatchPodMatch: A platform to connect podcasters with perfect-fit guests or hosts, saving time.  Support the show
