Creating Meaningful Change with Mike Morrison

Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Benjamin Disraeli, said “Change is inevitable. Change is constant.” Mike Morrison would add that meaningful change is not inevitable. He shares with Kevin that there will be challenges, and it is up to us to make meaning of them. As a leader, we need to excite our teams about change and have a clear vision of the future. We know it gets messy in the middle, and that is where we have the most growth.
