Lead Change Without Losing Your People | Sharon McLaughlin

Episode 192 | Lead Change Without Losing Your People | Sharon McLaughlin Episode summary Disruption is the norm now, and wave after wave of it leaves people leaders worn down in body, mind, and heart. Sharon McLaughlin shows you how to guide change so it transforms your culture rather than batters your people. You care for yourself first, then you care for the team you lead, and you trade more strategy for the real conversations that keep your culture people-first. Listen as Sharon McLaughlin explores: ☀️ How to guide change without losing yourself or the people you lead ☀️ Why change fatigue and change saturation drain organizations today ☀️ How to care for yourself first as a people leader, then care for your team ☀️ What the silence in a room tells you about your culture ☀️ How real conversations, rather than more strategy, keep your culture people-first Key Insight “That’s the real measure of culture: what’s not being said, or what’s being avoided.” Sharon McLaughlin Sharon’s Do One Thing (DOT) “Get out of the strategy and have some real conversations about how the change is being received or perceived, and how the team is managing it. Sometimes leaders avoid those conversations because they don’t want to hear the answer. They just want it implemented. They’ve invested a lot of money. So those conversations you’re avoiding, have them. What you hear may surprise you, and your team will appreciate it.” Sharon McLaughlin About Sharon McLaughlin Sharon McLaughlin is an executive coach and change leadership advisor with more than 30 years of experience helping people and organizations navigate complex transitions.
