Ep. 23 – Elsbeth Johnson – Are You Missing These Concrete Steps To Lead Change in Your Organization?

How can organizational change actually be successful? That’s what I’m talking about today with my guest Elsbeth Johnson. We discuss concrete steps that senior leaders can take to ensure that their efforts work out. Elsbeth was the perfect conversational partner to discuss organizational change with: she is an MIT Sloan professor and the author of Step Up, Step Back: How to Really Deliver Strategic Change in Your Organization, published last year. She has also worked as a change consultant for at least ten years. Among other things, we discussed: - Elsbeth’s articles “How to Make Strategic Choices in Uncertain Conditions” in People + Strategy Journal and, with Fiona Murray, “What a Crisis Teaches Us About Innovation” in MIT Sloan Management Review - Using the Cynefin framework to help with decision-making
