In this insightful conversation, we sit down with Jessica Crow, a seasoned change management expert, to explore how the field of change management is evolving to meet the demands of today’s fast-paced world. Jessica shares her perspective on emerging trends, emphasizing the shift towards a more iterative, human-centered approach—one that not only drives business outcomes but also prioritizes the well-being of employees who lead and embrace change.

Jessica offers two crucial insights for navigating today’s change landscape. First, the concept of “self-leadership,” which encourages individuals to stay fully resourced, set boundaries, and build resilience to navigate the relentless pace of transformation. Second, she highlights the critical role of organizational culture, stressing that leadership must champion cultural shifts to enable true adaptability and long-term success.

Throughout our discussion, Jessica outlines the four essential power skills that every change leader must cultivate to thrive in this evolving space:

Connection – Building authentic relationships and trust across teams.

Commitment – Staying focused on long-term goals despite inevitable roadblocks.

Collaboration – Encouraging diverse perspectives and co-creating solutions.

Compassion – Leading with empathy to support those navigating change.
