E85: The Secret Sauce for Leading Transformational Change with Ian Ziskin

Leadership Presence | Mastering The Inner Work Of Leadership

“People and organizations collectively can waste a lot of time being in denial and not facing reality, or explaining away why things are the way they are, rather than dealing with reality and taking action.”
If you are leading change and transformation in any organization, today’s conversation is full of tips and ideas on how to be sure you are doing it successfully.
In this episode, I talk to Ian Ziskin, board member, former CHRO of a multi-billion dollar corporation, President of EXec EXcel Group LLC, and the lead author of the book, The Secret Sauce for Leading Transformational Change.
You'll hear Ian talk about his experience leading change and transformation, including the biggest mistakes he sees leaders and organizations make during change efforts, and what to do instead for sustainable transformation.
In this episode:

• The common problem that gets in the way of successful change efforts
• How to foster openness to change at different levels of an organization
• What it takes to sustain change over time
