Change Leadership: Emotional discomfort as a leader

This publication is only available in Dutch

In this first publication, Change leadership: Emotional discomfort as a leader, you will learn more about the leaders’ side of change leadership: doubts, loneliness, impatience… 

We often discuss the personal reactions and emotions of people affected by change. However, the emotional impact on the leader, the one guiding the change, is talked about far less. Yet, emotional discomfort is an immanent part of change leadership, as the 60 leaders we interviewed agree on.

In this dutch publication, these leaders openly share their personal experiences of leading change. They reveal how such transformation processes can deeply affect them. 

Change Leadership

Leading change. Or, change leadership, if you prefer. Is just a matter of the correct approach, right? Of good analysis, decision making and going forward?

‘We have talked to over 60 leaders from a multitude of levels and industries, each bringing a different perspective. The perspective being the leader themselves  facing their challenges head on. This applies to middle managers and team leaders too, who also first need to digest the change. After which they can translate it to their own team. We analysed this input and are publishing it one theme at a time. Later on we also bundle our publications in a book, written from the leaders’ own experiences.’
