Top-Down change management doesn’t work and let me tell you why.

In this episode I talk about why the main change models, PROSCI/ADKAR and Kotter, are top-down models. We also get into why top-down management approaches dominate the change literature from the early 90's and how this shows up.

If you've been frustrated by communications-based engagement models, and "Because I said so" logic, you will love this episode!

I also get into the generational and cultural forces driving management theory and how this shows up in the models that don't work, and what works instead.

And the driving factor? The democratization of workplaces and society due to the introduction of technology. So if you're still using a model that was developed before the age of smartphones, no wonder you're frustrated.
