Are you ready to learn how to successfully bridge the knowing-doing gap during change in your organisation? In this episode of The Business of Being Brilliant, join me, Helen Beedham, as I engage in a thought-provoking conversation with Rupert Brown, Chief People Officer and author of the forthcoming leadership book "Mind the Gap." Together, we explore the fascinating world of organisational change and uncover strategies to navigate the complexities of transformation in today's dynamic business landscape.

During our discussion, we discuss:

⭐️ Bridging the knowing-doing gap in leadership to enhance change management success.

⭐️ Understanding the emotional and relational dimensions of change, beyond just the logical aspects.

⭐️ Building change resilience within an organisation and the vital role of empathy and trust in leadership.

Rupert shares his journey and insights from extensive experience in leading major change initiatives across various industries. He emphasises the importance of fostering environments where open conversations, vulnerability, and empathy are prioritised to guide organisations through successful transitions. Listen in for practical advice on closing the gap between knowing what change needs to occur and effectively executing it.
