Live Mentoring Session #5: The Politics of Transformation

Episode #120 // This week, I share a mentoring session with a senior leader from a large industrial business. Vahid ran an extremely successful transformation program in his own business unit, and asked me how he should go about expanding the initiative so that the broader organisation might benefit. 

Having seen some early resistance in other business units, I talked Vahid through some of the typical blockers that can make it difficult to gain acceptance when trying to influence one’s peers. 

The sailing isn’t smooth when politics comes into play, so working out how to navigate that is an essential skill for any senior leader.

Your boss wants more with less. Your team wants less, full stop. You're stuck in the middle.
