Socializing Change: Building a Collaborative Culture

Socializing Change: Building a Collaborative Culture

Show notes

Change is inevitable in the workplace, but how it’s managed can make or break your organization’s culture. In this episode, we unpack the concept of “socializing change”—an approach that transforms uncertainty into opportunity by putting people at the center of the process.

Here’s what we cover: • The impact of rapid technological and societal changes on workplace dynamics. • Why engaging employees early in the change process fosters trust and collaboration. • Lessons from real-world examples: a salary shift that failed and a digital transformation that created resistance. • Actionable strategies for leaders, including transparent communication, empathy-driven problem-solving, and creative storytelling.

We also spotlight Humans Are Underrated by Geoff Colvin, exploring the human traits—empathy, collaborative creativity, and storytelling—that are essential for shaping a positive workplace culture during times of change.

Whether you’re a leader navigating transformation or someone passionate about workplace culture, this episode is packed with insights to help you lead with purpose and build a stronger, more connected team.
