5 Big Lessons For Change Leaders From 50 Podcast Episodes

Can you believe last week was the 50th episode of my little podcast, The New Way with Dr Kate Byrne?

I have to pinch myself when I think about the incredible calibre of all the guest experts that have joined me on the show.

So many great, eye-opening / thought-provoking / game-changing conversations!

I’ve learnt so much from the ideas and wisdom my guests have shared so generously (and I hope you have too!).

In fact, as I reflected back, I realised there are 5 big lessons for change leaders from the last 50 podcast episodes….and I’m sharing them today.

You’ll discover:

The tools and methods change managers need in their toolkits
What change leaders must keep in mind (no matter how simple or technical the change program)
The key capability change managers must develop for the future
A critical shift you must consider when supporting your stakeholders through the change journey

I dive straight into the goods this week. From beginning to end, the whole ep is less than 20 minutes.

Every lesson I mention applies regardless of the size or type of your organisational change program or situation.

These lessons will make you a better change leader. Listen in now!
