Why Leaders Can’t “Manage” Change with Jay Kiew

Описание: Strategy shifts. Priorities swing. Reorgs happen. And somewhere along the way, people stop believing the next “big change” will stick—because the last one didn’t.

In this episode of Leadership NOW, Jay Kiew unpacks the core idea behind his book "Change Fluency: 9 Principles to Navigate Uncertainty and Drive Innovation.":

Change isn’t something leaders can manage like a project plan. It’s something leaders (and cultures) must become fluent in—so teams can adapt without losing trust, pride, or momentum.

You’ll hear Jay’s frameworks for:

interpreting change as threat vs. opportunity, and responding with agency rather than freeze-mode

the “Discover, Design, Differentiate” model (foresight, design thinking, and creating what’s next)

the five chains that hold organizations back—clutter and chaos, apathy, comfort with the status quo, competing interests, and constraints

why “tyranny of the urgent” quietly kills creativity and better decisions

how leaders can build buffer and norms that protect thinking time and dignity at work
