Leading Through Change – Fillable Workbook (Vol 02, A Culture of Kindness Leadership Library)

A practical, fillable workbook for managers leading people through restructures, new systems and uncertainty, honestly and humanely.

Change is an event. Transition is a journey. Leadership decides how it feels.

Navigating uncertainty with confidence and compassion

Most change programmes focus on process, structure and plans, and forget the people in the middle of it. This workbook puts people first.

Drawing on Nahla Summers' research into workplace culture and her Tough Kindness principles, it gives you practical, ready-to-use tools to lead change honestly and humanely, from the first announcement to the moment the new way becomes normal.

•     The change curve, the SCARF model and the three phases of transition

•     Communication planners, a stakeholder map and phrases that work

•     One-to-one guides for every stage of change, including resistance
