According to studies, we like change when its in our favor, but struggle when change evokes a sense of loss. That sense of loss can derail the best laid out plans, campaigns, projects, and visions. As it turns out, successful changes are less about charisma, conviction, vision, preparedness or communication, but rather...its about managing a sense of loss.

When organizational or corporate changes make people feel that they're losing control, status, autonomy or connection, even the best of changes can stall or fail. Engaging with your team to name their losses and acknowledge their fears, will help leaders and change managers transform internal blockades into positive change momentum.

In this episode of the Pillar6 Podcast, Roman Polnar interviews Michael Koehler, the Founder and CEO of KONU, about leadership and change management strategies. They also discuss Michael's Adaptive Leadership Framework, the difference between formal and informal leadership, and tips on how to acknowledge loss to effectuate change.
