Episode 39 – Making Change Work: A Radical Approach to Change Management, Real Leadership explores what true leadership is and how it is effectively applied throughout the change management process. During our discussion, Sharon Drew Morgen, the New York Times bestselling author of Dirty Little Secrets, shares with us her insights and illustrative examples regarding:

• what leadership is and the difference between leadership and management
• the qualities, characteristics, and skills successful change leaders commonly possess
• the difference between the exercise of power and force
• reasons so many change implementations are unsuccessful
• steps leaders should take to ensure change implementations succeed
• how leaders can get buy-in before the change initiative begins
• the outward signs a leader should look for that indicate the change has been accepted; that the organization will continue to adhere to the change and not revert back to its previous way of doing business
• actions the change leader should take if he or she feels the organization is not accepting the change; that the change initiative is failing
