Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson - A Simple Guide to Handling Change - A Business Book Club Series

Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson is a timeless parable about change, uncertainty, and human behaviour. Through a simple story, the book explores why people cling to what feels familiar, how fear delays adaptation, and why awareness and action matter more than certainty. In this 5-minute book summary, we explore the book’s core ideas and apply them to modern work and leadership. The episode examines emotional resistance to change, the cost of waiting for certainty, and how adaptability creates momentum. It also explores how leaders can support teams through disruption by acknowledging uncertainty rather than denying it. If you’re navigating change — in your role, organisation, or career — this episode offers a calm, practical reminder that progress begins with acceptance. Hosted by Hannah Hally, The Business Book Club brings together three empowering podcast series — 5-Minute Book Summaries, Icons of Influence, and Leadership Unpacked — sharing practical lessons, success stories, and leadership insights from the world’s most inspiring thinkers.
