What Leaders Get WRONG About Change

Most leaders think change fails because of strategy or communication. They’re wrong. The truth is simpler — and harder. It’s about ownership. Everyone loves to talk about innovation, disruption, and transformation — but almost no one talks about what happens after. In this episode of Leadership Rewired, Allison Allen reveals what leaders consistently get wrong about change: they mistake adoption for alignment, communication for ownership, and strategy for leadership. Through deeply personal and professional stories, Allison explores the phase of change most people avoid — adoption — and why it’s the moment that separates leaders who endure from those who evolve. 💡 In this episode: → The real reason most change efforts collapse → How loss, layoffs, and leadership share the same emotional pattern → The difference between acceptance and authorship → What self-leadership looks like when the plan is gone → A leadership challenge to help you redefine what comes next Because change doesn’t fail because people resist it. It fails because leaders avoid the part that hurts — the part where ownership begins. 🎧 Subscribe to Leadership Rewired for truth-talk conversations that help you lead with clarity, navigate change, and stay human while doing it.
