Episode #143. Interview with Lana Johnson on strategy and change

In this conversation Shelley invites director of leadership and change for Apricot Consulting, and dear friend, Lana Johnson, to share her views of change, strategy and the role leaders play in the appetite and ultimate adoption of change. They talk about the importance of building networks and having a strong supportive community around them.

Lana shares that effectively navigating change requires leaders to slow down and "mine for descent" to bring concerns to the surface so they can be discussed and resolved. She encourages debate and discussion among the team to allow everyone to feel heard, contribute and get clear on how their workloads might adjust to avoid burnout and exhaustion.
