After a month off the mic reading the Takt Production System, Jason is back with a critical topic for any leader trying to drive real transformation: how to sustain lasting change. He walks through Ryan Schmidt's change model, the predictable phases of chaos and pushback every organization hits, and why the moment things feel hardest is exactly when you have to press the attack. Drawing from Star Wars Rogue One, real client stories, and decades of cultural turnaround work, Jason makes the case that culture lives or dies based on whether leaders stick with it.
What you'll learn in this episode:
The change model from old status quo through catalyst, chaos, integration, and new status quo
Why most change efforts fail when leaders pull back during the chaos phase
How to recognize that pushback from your team is often a test, not a rejection
The five steps to executing organizational change with the Switch model
Why removing non cultural fits has, in Jason's experience, never failed to work out
When the attack starts to cost you something real, that is the exact moment turning back will cost you more.
