According to studies, most people love change if it is in their favor. In organizations, people may be reluctant to change due to ineffective leadership or the fear of loss. 

It's essential for the company's visionary leader to implement strategies that inspire teams to embrace change. Employees may fear losing control, their status, or their sense of connection with others. Engaging and communicating effectively with your team encourages positive change. Identify all potential losses that may occur and help them overcome their fears.

In this episode of the Pillar6 Podcast, Roman Polnar interviews Michael Koehler, the Founder and CEO of KONU, about change management strategies. They also discuss Michael's adaptive leadership framework, the difference between authority and leadership, and tips for overcoming loss.
