When was the last time your organization redesigned work, not just reorganized jobs? Ravin Jesuthasan, bestselling author and global leader for transformation services at Mercer, explains why work redesign is the missing foundation for successful transformation. Drawing from his books "Work Without Jobs" and "The Skills-Powered Organization," Ravin shares how deconstructing work into its core tasks and redeploying them efficiently led to extraordinary results—like an oil company cutting performance variance from 35% to 2.3% without layoffs. Discover why "fixed, flex, and flow" models are replacing traditional jobs, how resistance to change plummets when employees help redesign their own work, and why transformations should never be "one and done."----Connect with:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nellie Wartoft⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CEO of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tigerhall⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chair of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Executive Council for Leading Change (ECLC)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠nellie@tigerhall.com ----00.00 - Introduction 01:30 - Why work redesign is pivotal to organizational transformation03:45 - The three steps of work redesign: deconstruction, redeployment, reconstruction05:20 - How job architecture fits into the work redesign approach07:10 - Signs that outdated work structures are blocking transformation efforts09:15 - Why tech-forward approaches fail compared to work-backwards perspectives11:30 - Case study: How an oil company transformed operations without layoffs14:45 - The critical role of leadership in connecting work redesign to transformation goals16:20 - How work redesign reduces resistance to change19:40 - Moving from employment to employability: upskilling, reskilling, and outskilling22:15 - The three models of work: fixed, flexible, and flow24:30 - How internal talent marketplaces and "flow to work" models dramatically increase productivity27:15 - Building leadership buy-in for flexible work allocation29:35 - Final thoughts: Transformation is never "one and done"----Breathe by RYGO | https://soundcloud.com/francesco-rigolonEverything You Need Is By Your Side by Vlad Gluschenko |Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

Why do technical experts often make poor change leaders? Roger Guerrero, Head of Enterprise Strategy Execution at Merck, challenges how organizations select and develop leaders in transformation environments. Drawing from his experience overseeing Merck's corporate strategy implementation, Roger explains why change leadership shouldn't be confined to specialized teams but embedded as a core expectation for all managers. He argues that companies over-index on technical expertise while undervaluing the ability to inspire and lead through change—creating what he calls a "silent killer" in organizations. Whether you're struggling with resistant middle managers or disconnected executives, Roger offers practical strategies for identifying and developing genuine change leadership beyond technical competence.----Connect with:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nellie Wartoft⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CEO of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tigerhall⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chair of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Executive Council for Leading Change (ECLC)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠nellie@tigerhall.com ----00.00 - Introduction 01:30 - Why change management shouldn't be limited to specialized teams03:45 - How technical industries often select leaders for technical expertise, not leadership ability05:20 - Why change leadership competencies should be core criteria in promotions07:10 - The problem with the "individual contributor to leader" career path09:15 - Creating dual career tracks for technical experts vs. leadership roles11:30 - How to identify people with natural change leadership abilities14:45 - Addressing the "this isn't my job" mindset in middle managers16:20 - Red flags that indicate poor change leadership potential19:40 - The evolving profile of effective senior leaders—from engineers to MBAs to motivators22:15 - Strategies for working around resistant leaders you can't replace24:30 - Handling resistance at the C-suite level27:15 - The importance of communication style in successful change initiatives29:35 - Why transparency and empathy are critical for change leadership----Breathe by RYGO | https://soundcloud.com/francesco-rigolonEverything You Need Is By Your Side by Vlad Gluschenko |Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

Ever wonder why perfectly logical transformation plans meet fierce resistance? Travis Hahler, change management expert and neuroscience researcher, reveals how our brains are hardwired to fight change through two fundamental mechanisms: energy conservation and protection. For transformation leaders, this shifts the entire approach from trying to design "lovable" changes to creating environments where adoption can thrive despite neurological barriers. Travis explains why your most vocal critics might be your greatest allies, why resistance isn't a reflection of your leadership, and offers practical strategies for accelerating adoption. A game-changing perspective for change leaders tired of taking resistance personally and ready to leverage neuroscience for better results.----Connect with:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nellie Wartoft⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CEO of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tigerhall⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chair of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Executive Council for Leading Change (ECLC)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠nellie@tigerhall.com ----00.00 - Introduction 01:30 - What actually happens in our brains when faced with change03:45 - Why resistance is universal: the brain's energy efficiency and protection mechanisms05:20 - Comparing work stress to our primitive fight-or-flight response07:10 - The change curve and why most leaders plan for the wrong phase09:15 - Why jumping straight to execution never works in change initiatives12:30 - How vulnerability and honesty build trust when leading through uncertainty14:45 - Why most leaders take resistance personally (and why they shouldn't)16:20 - Creating environments for adoption rather than trying to design "lovable" changes19:40 - Why quarterly processes might take years, not weeks, to fully adopt22:15 - How leaders confuse resistance to change with rejection of their leadership24:30 - Breaking the productivity loop: getting past denial faster27:15 - Why conscious resistors are often your most valuable allies29:35 - The difference between vocal "rebels" and silent "saboteurs"32:10 - Three immediate actions for leaders: vulnerability, empathy, and addressing loss----Breathe by RYGO | https://soundcloud.com/francesco-rigolonEverything You Need Is By Your Side by Vlad Gluschenko |Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

Michael Rivera joins us from San Diego to talk about the charges he filed against Renfroe and Barner, the dismissal of those charges, and his follow-up charges against the entire Executive Council. We go over the constitutional process, the duties and obligations of our national officers, and the express will of the members of the NALC.

Real strength shows up when life knocks you down and you choose to rise with gratitude, faith, and community. Dr. Douglas Burton shares how a life-altering diagnosis transformed not just his health journey, but his entire perspective on what it means to truly live well. From the operating room to the other side of the patient experience, he opens his heart about the emotional weight of caregiving, the spiritual awakening that came through illness, and the small, intentional shifts that have brought him greater peace than ever before. His story is a powerful reminder that joy is not found in doing more—it's found in slowing down, showing up, and surrounding yourself with love. Key Takeaways: Slowing down and creating space for joy can be more healing than constant striving. Practicing daily gratitude builds emotional resilience and a deeper sense of peace. Community support is a critical part of mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Faith and surrender can bring clarity and calm when facing uncertainty or illness. True healing isn't just physical—it's also spiritual, relational, and deeply personal.   About Dr. Douglas Burton: Douglas Burton, M.D. is the Marc and Elinor Asher Spine Professor and Chair of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at the University of Kansas Medical Center. He received his undergraduate degree from Kansas State University in Manhattan, KS and his MD from the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas, TX. He completed his residency at the University of Kansas Medical Center and completed spine fellowships at The Texas Back Institute in Plano, TX and at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA. In 2003 he was awarded the Marc and Elinor Asher Spine Professorship. Dr. Burton's clinical practice is focused on the diagnosis and treatment of complex spinal disorders in both pediatric and adult patients. In addition to his primary practice location at the University of Kansas Hospital, he also travels to both Hutchinson and Salina, KS for a monthly outreach clinic to provide health care to patients in rural parts of Kansas. He is a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the American Orthopaedic Association, the Interurban Orthopaedic Society, the North American Spine Society and the Scoliosis Research Society, where he is the incoming Chair-Elect of the Research Council and member of the Board of Directors. He served as President of the Federation of Spine Associations from 2018 to 2019. In 2019, The American Association of Neurological Surgeons and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons announced a new partnership, the American Spine Registry (ASR), which will be jointly owned and developed by both organizations. Dr. Burton currently serves as co-chair of the Data Use Committee for the ASR. His research interests include the development of disease specific health related quality of life instruments and the study of complications and outcomes associated with spinal deformity surgery. He has authored or co-authored over 236 peer reviewed publications and serves as a Deputy Editor of Spine Deformity, the official journal of the Scoliosis Research Society. In 2006 he helped found and remains on the Executive Council of the International Spine Study Group.

This episode features a passionate and critical discussion of the state of the NALC, with a primary focus on a recent executive council meeting. Corey begins by emphasizing that he is now speaking as the CLC's Director of Education, a deliberate shift to focus exclusively on educational topics, and then dives into the core subject of the episode which is a candid discussion about what he perceives as a constitutional crisis within the union. He criticizes Renfroe for his arrogance, which is damaging and divisive. He highlights an audio recording from a business agent, discussing why they dismissed charges against Renfroe and Barner. Corey then reads the text of the actual charges filed against President Renfroe and Executive Vice President Barner, which included allegations of failing to report official acts, neglecting convention resolutions, failing to initiate arbitration timely, bypassing required membership ratification, and failing to provide a complete report of acts. Corey argues that this was a violation of the constitution, and he has strong criticism for the Executive Council, accusing them of putting themselves before the best interests of the members. Corey ends by reiterating his call for the city letter carriers and the union to make changes and support those advocating for reforms. http://www.fromatoarbitration.com/

This is episode 221, 1863, the midst of the Transvaal Civil War. As you heard in episode 220, this was the making of a new president and one who'd take the Trekker Republics into the 20th Century, albeit in the midst of the Anglo-Boer War. There had been a rapid and real effect — as the farmers took up arms against each other, the Transvaal's economy collapsed. This weakened the government's ability to back up its stated authority. By now the tiny independent States of Lydenburg and Utrecht had joined the Transvaal accepting the authority of the Transvaal. They had been outliers since the trekkers first arrived in those regions, fifteen years earlier. To recap - In 1859, Transvaal President, Marthinus Wessel Pretorius, was invited to stand for President in the Orange Free State, many burghers there now wanted to unify with the Transvaal. They were mainly worried about how to deal with King Moshoeshoe of the Basotho. The Transvaal constitution that he had just enacted made it illegal to hold office abroad, still Pretorius won the Transvaal election, then Volksraad attempted to side-step the constitutional problems by granting Pretorius half-a-year of leave. They hoped some kind of solution would be found — Pretorius left for Bloemfontein and appointed Johannes Hermanus Grobler to be acting president in his absence. Up stepped Stephanus Schoeman from the Marico region who unsuccessfully attempted to use force to supplant Johannes Grobler as acting president. Schoeman believed that the presidency should have been granted to him as the new Transvaal constitution stipulated that in the case of the president's dismissal or death, the presidency should be granted to the oldest member of the Executive Council. Schoeman was three years older than Grobler. Forward fast to 1863, Kruger had defeated Schoeman at a skirmish outside Potchefstroom. He had also managed to convince some of the supporters of rebel in the Heidelberg district to switch sides, and had ridden back to Pretoria with a local farmer of high standing, Jan Marais. There a council of war determined that rebels like Schoeman were taking advantage of a disagreement between the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. The two fledgling Boer Republics could not agree on where the boundary lay between them. Transvaal President Van Rensburg duly assigned Kruger the duty of riding to the Free State to settle the question of the border - and he left almost immediately, taking a group of burghers with him as security. Further West, the Marico district was a hotbed of rebel activity and the commandant there, Jan Viljoen, heard about Kruger's mission and organised a commando. On the way to Potch, a spy warned Kruger about what awaited. He changed course, and set off with a small detachment to confront Viljoen while Kruger's 2 IC, Veld kornet Sarel Eloff dashed forward to seize a nearby kopje - the all important high ground. Viljoen is so happened, was also on his way to the very same kopje. One of the aspects of this conflict which is interesting is how Kruger used his spies or messengers as he called them. They were feeding him information daily, information about what Schoeman and Viljoen were up to. The capacity to recon an enemy was one of the defining strengths of the Boer military system, and would be sharpened constantly over the coming century and a half. Folks, there are remarkable resonances in this apparently distant little civil war. When the Union of South Africa was achieved, Bloemfontein was nominated as the seat of the Supreme Court of the union. Cape Town and Pretoria shared power, parliament in Cape Town, Pretoria the seat of government. The Free State is slap bang in the middle — so they got the Supreme Court. These historical instances reflect a legal and political philosophy that, in the aftermath of internal conflict, prioritising national healing through amnesty can be more beneficial than widespread punitive actions.

"If you're not leading change, what are you leading?" In this week's episode, Aric Wood, Tigerhall's Chief Strategy Officer, challenges us to move beyond change management to embrace change leadership as a C-suite imperative.With the average employee now facing 17-18 significant changes annually (compared to just 1-2 a decade ago), organizations that delegate transformation to siloed teams are setting themselves up for failure. The data is clear: when CEOs lead from the front, transformations are three times more likely to succeed.Aric shares why most transformations fail, how the rise of Chief Transformation Officers is reshaping leadership dynamics, and why renovating your house is the perfect metaphor for organizational change. He offers practical advice for both C-suite executives looking to make change a competitive advantage and change leaders struggling to secure greater executive involvement.Whether you're navigating AI-driven disruption or implementing a new strategy, this conversation provides a blueprint for turning change leadership into your organization's secret weapon.00:00 - Introduction: Moving beyond change management to change leadership00:55 - Why change leadership capability will be a critical competitive differentiator02:15 - The exponential increase in change impact: from 1-2 changes annually to 17-1803:30 - How AI is accelerating the pace of change beyond Moore's Law05:00 - Why 70% of change initiatives fail despite significant investment06:10 - The renovation metaphor: Why change requires executive presence and involvement09:05 - The data behind CEO-led transformation: 3x more likely to achieve objectives10:35 - The rise of Chief Transformation Officers: A positive trend or delegation?12:20 - Defining the CEO's role in transformation vs. the Chief Transformation Officer14:15 - Why CEOs often underestimate their influence in driving change15:30 - The business case for C-suite involvement: Risk reduction and opportunity creation17:10 - How visible leadership creates a "snowball effect" of change adoption18:35 - Making change leadership a competitive advantage in an accelerating world19:25 - Advice for change leaders struggling with disengaged executives21:05 - Three key recommendations for C-suite executives leading transformation----Connect with:Nellie WartoftCEO of TigerhallChair of the Executive Council for Leading Change (ECLC)nellie@tigerhall.com ----Breathe by RYGO | https://soundcloud.com/francesco-rigolonEverything You Need Is By Your Side by Vlad Gluschenko |Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

Here's a stat that might make you spit out your coffee: 80% of AI projects launched last year failed to deliver on their promises. Yikes! In this conversation that's refreshingly no nonsense, Nellie chats with Shankar Kalyana, CTO at Stantec, about why so many change leaders are struggling with AI implementation and what the successful 20% are doing differently.Shankar cuts through the AI hype with practical wisdom from someone who's actually made this stuff work. He shares why your team might be resistant to that shiny new Copilot license (and what to do about it), which parts of Microsoft Copilot actually deliver value versus where it falls flat (Excel, we're looking at you), and why sometimes the best approach is to "chatbot the heck out of it" and learn as you go.----Connect with:Nellie WartoftCEO of TigerhallChair of the Executive Council for Leading Change (ECLC)nellie@tigerhall.com ----Breathe by RYGO | https://soundcloud.com/francesco-rigolonEverything You Need Is By Your Side by Vlad Gluschenko |Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

We've all heard that phrase "work smarter, not harder." But has anyone actually told you what that means in practice? For those of us leading change and transformation, the gap between working ourselves to the bone and actually creating impact can feel frustratingly wide.This week, Nellie speaks to Chris Hirst, former Global CEO of Havas Creative, and author of ‘No Bullshit Change', ‘No Bullshit Leadership', and the upcoming ‘Indispensable: The No Bullshit Guide to Career Success'. Chris reveals a startling reality: most change leaders deliver 80% of their actual value in just 20% of their time. The rest? It's what he calls "fluff and filler" that's eating our productivity alive.Chris tackles a provocative idea – that identifying and focusing on the vital 20% doesn't require special talent, just deliberate practice and clear priorities. You'll learn practical approaches to reclaim your calendar (including his Monday morning 10% rule), run meetings that actually accomplish something, create presentations that engage rather than bore, and communicate in ways that drive action.Whether you're leading organizational change and transformation or building your own career, these straightforward techniques for leadership, clarity, and execution will help you stop wasting time and become truly indispensable.----Connect with:Nellie WartoftCEO of TigerhallChair of the Executive Council for Leading Change (ECLC)nellie@tigerhall.com Find Chris' upcoming book here.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Indispensable-Seven-Ways-Thrive-Workplace/dp/1529051754 ----Breathe by RYGO | https://soundcloud.com/francesco-rigolonEverything You Need Is By Your Side by Vlad Gluschenko |Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

Did you know that globally, women only have 75% of the legal rights that men have? And in the U.S., they have none. Gender equality is not just a women's issue—it impacts everyone. I am honored to welcome Mona Sinha to the show today. Mona is the Global Executive Director of Equality Now, an organization dedicated to advancing legal and systemic change to end violence and discrimination against women and girls worldwide. In this episode, Mona and I dive into the importance of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), discussing how its absence from The U.S. Constitution affects domestic violence protections, reproductive freedom, and the overall legal landscape for gender-based violence. We also explore the broader ramifications of not having the ERA in place and how this amendment could uphold equality and justice for all, regardless of gender identity, socioeconomic status, or sexual orientation. Tune in to this powerful conversation as we unpack the significance of the ERA and what's at stake for equality in the U.S during this upcoming election season.  Featured topics: Why the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) has not yet been added to The Constitution (5:21) How the ERA could impact the wage gap, reproductive rights, and legal protections (11:51) The connection between the ERA and protections for survivors of domestic violence (14:38) How the ERA could transform family court rulings on gender-based violence (20:39) Common misconceptions about the ERA (24:22) How this upcoming election could influence the future of the ERA (31:58) Learn more about Mona Sinha: S.
