Most leaders think change fails because of strategy or communication.
They’re wrong.
The truth is simpler — and harder. It’s about ownership.
Everyone loves to talk about innovation, disruption, and transformation — but almost no one talks about what happens after.
In this episode of Leadership Rewired, Allison Allen reveals what leaders consistently get wrong about change: they mistake adoption for alignment, communication for ownership, and strategy for leadership.
Through deeply personal and professional stories, Allison explores the phase of change most people avoid — adoption — and why it’s the moment that separates leaders who endure from those who evolve.
💡 In this episode:
→ The real reason most change efforts collapse
→ How loss, layoffs, and leadership share the same emotional pattern
→ The difference between acceptance and authorship
→ What self-leadership looks like when the plan is gone
→ A leadership challenge to help you redefine what comes next
Because change doesn’t fail because people resist it.
It fails because leaders avoid the part that hurts — the part where ownership begins.
