Episode 199 |Lead Courageously Through Change | Leah Mether

How to steer through the storm of change


Lead Courageously Through Change

My guest in this episode is author, speaker and facilitator Leah Mether.

Leah’s latest book, Steer Though The Storm, is a step-by-step guide to help leaders pilot their team through turbulent times, shifting priorities and massive change agendas. Whatever the challenge, Leah maintains that it’s the soft skills that really matter.

Too many leaders are tasked with leading significant organisational change without a clear understanding of the foundations of success.

And in this conversation, Leah will arm you and me with change leadership wisdom to help lift the fog and steer us through the storm.

Nuggets of Gold

  1. Anyone can lead through change. It is absolutely doable – the success of your change initiative, within your area of influence, will be determined by the way you show up. It will be successful if you’re willing to be courageous, willing to be vulnerable and willing to do the work.
  2. START by reflecting on this question: ‘What do I want to be known for as a leader?’
