One of the hardest things leaders have to do is communicate change effectively to their teams.

I invited Dr. Rachel Boehm today to help me uncover the key reasons why it can be such a struggle to get everyone on the same page when changes are coming. Dr. Boehm is an expert in organizational psychology and in our conversation, we unpack what might be going on with your people when announcements fall flat or motivation flags, and most importantly, what you can do to better prepare for these conversations and guide your people through organizational change more successfully.
