Episode notes

The key insight from this snip is the importance of recognizing and addressing the losses associated with change. Instead of dismissing someone's grief during a transition, it is crucial to identify what individuals or groups feel like they are losing. By asking the question 'What do you feel like you're losing?' before announcing a change, leaders can prepare to support people through the grief of transition. This concept is applicable to all types of change, not just transitions, and can be especially important for parents helping their children cope with relocation.

If we ignore what people feel during a leadership transition, we cannot effectively lead them into and through the transition. In this episode, Gavin Adams and I discuss how to effectively navigate the employee journey.
