Change is never easy, but it doesn’t have to be chaotic. In this video, Sean breaks down what really makes change management work, starting with identifying the gaps, building a solid plan, and most importantly, communicating it in a way that actually sticks. He shares why teams often resist change, how leadership plays a massive role in guiding people through it, and why so many initiatives fail before they even get off the ground. It’s not just about managing change; it’s about leading it the right way.
