Progress vs. Preservation: The Leader’s Real Job in Reinvention ft Jay Moore | EZRA Asks

Описание: #14 In a world that worships constant change, how do leaders know what actually needs to change — and what must be protected?

In this episode, Jay Moore, EZRA Advisory Board member, joins us to explore the often-overlooked leadership skill: discernment.

Jay draws on 37 years at GE — including his tenure as Chief Learning Officer — to unpack how leaders navigate reinvention without losing their organization’s core identity. Together, we examine why not every change equals progress, how leaders decide what to preserve versus what to evolve, and what it really takes to lead wisely in times of ongoing transformation.
