S16E25 - ”Start with Impact, Follow the Energy”, with Jake Jacobs

In this HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhwestover/) talks with Jake Jacobs about overcoming change fatigue and the concept of "Start with impact, follow the energy." See the video here: https://youtu.be/xnw69lADUco Why do some organizations work and others don’t? Jake Jacobs (https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertjakejacobs/) has been curious about that question since his first real job on the assembly line of an ice cream novelty manufacturing plant and his second, tending bar in college. As a pioneer in the field of large group interventions, Jake has continued his discoveries about better ways for people and organizations to change. His consulting, writing, and teaching have all helped him continue in answering that question. He has worked with some of the largest corporations in the world including American Express, Corning, Ford, The Home Depot, Marriott, Mobil, and TJ Maxx. He has also supported major change efforts with the City of New York, the U.S. National Forest Service and Environmental Protection Agency and the United Kingdom’s National Health and Employment Services. Writing has been a great way for him to get clearer about what he believes and how he works. In addition to regular postings to my blog, he has written articles for Strategy and Leadership, Executive Excellence, Leader to Leader, Strategic HR Review, the OD Practitioner, Consulting to Management and has been featured in The Huffington Post and Inc. magazine.
