A super common frustration that many senior executives struggle with is how to get their people engaged in a transformation agenda. I see it all the time and in this episode I discuss the killer mistake most leaders make when communicating their strategic narrative.
In this episode, I talk about the hero and guide archetypes and how incorporating these into your change story will help your people feel engaged, aligned to the cause and start tapping into their discretionary energy, which is a crucial ingredient behind high performing teams.
I discuss the hero journey, the path we all take as we adapt to change and adopt the new way. I share how this is relevant in life and in the context of organisational transformation and that positioning your people as the hero will help them visualise themselves in the strategic narrative.
If you’ve ever heard people say they can’t see themselves in the change, this episode is for you. I’ve never come across a change initiative that I couldn’t strengthen or make more compelling for the audience by incorporating what I discuss in this episode today. It’s an absolute game-changer.
