Lucinda is joined by Ian Ziskin, the lead author of “The Secret Sauce for Leading Transformational Change”, a work dedicated to leading transformational change on an individual, team, organisational, and societal level.

Key Takeaways

Many assume that because a system or process has worked for a long period of time, that it becomes immutable. We should always be open to adaptation and change.
To find truth we must define reality. There’s a tremendous amount of wasted energy in denying data and explaining away things that do not reinforce our preferred view of the environment.
We must surround ourselves with good people who wish to aid us in driving change. We cannot do it alone.
Most successful change efforts involve moving at a speed that feels uncomfortable. We need to embrace this discomfort, for that is where change happens.
