Leading Through Change: Successful Change Management

Leading through change is harder than you might think.

Did you know that organisational transformation has a staggering 70% failure rate? Enacting long-term change requires a structured approach to deliver your desired outcome. And as a leader, it’s your responsibility to bring every team member on that journey.

With so many employees working remotely, it’s even harder to create lasting change. Why? Asking for behavioural change outside of the office environment can feel like running on a hamster wheel. That’s why we need to implement a system that is smarter than us.

What is More Important: Strategy or Behaviour Change?

In our educational webinar on change management, we learned from transformation coach Rishita Jones how to use the mind’s power to create long-term change. Transformation is not just about strategies and plans; it’s fundamentally about people. To drive transformation efforts, effective leadership must understand the psychological principles that shape human behaviour.

We’ve adapted Rishita’s methodology into a comprehensive guide for leaders and managers to implement successful change management strategies. We’ve included short-term wins, leadership skills, and ways to optimise habit formation in your team.
