This Saturday, we're looking back at some of our blog posts that tackle the hardest parts of change. It's easy to feel overwhelmed, but these articles serve as a reminder that there is a path through challenging times.

Effective leadership is not just a desirable trait—it’s an absolute necessity. For seasoned executives, team leaders, or aspiring managers, your skill as a leader can be the actual reason why people get out of bed in the morning.

There seems to be an excitement-remorse cycle of investing the time and energy to set up a change practice, develop or purchase a methodology, hire sound change practitioners, start to execute and implement, and build from project-level support to program level to change portfolio; only to cut the function out of the next financial planning cycle.

If conscious efforts to foster people's adoption of change weren't required, we would call change something entirely different, such as 'erosion' or 'evolution'. But with people involved, so are their fears, aspirations, and capacity for resilience in the face of transformation. When change management changes, organisations that keep pace retain the competitive advantage they established when they recognised their people as their greatest asset.

Is effective communication the cornerstone of career success? Achieving success isn't just about competence in your field or having a stellar resumé; it's also about how satisfied you feel with your own progress. Effectively communicating your ideas, collaborating with others, and navigating networking and stakeholder or customer relationships are all crucial elements of job satisfaction.

When change comes at us, it's tempting to ignore it, hide, put it off or generally just try to escape thinking about it. Leaning in is a great description of what to do when we feel like doing the opposite. If we can develop the habit of leaning in to small changes and large, we'll soon get the hang of a key life skill.

By the time I realised I may have entered the password for my government hub account into an illegitimate internet site, the dread started to settle in and I scrambled around for a phone number to call.
