Five minutes. Five steps. For leaders carrying change they didn’t choose.

Ten planned changes a year. That’s what the average employee faced in 2022, up from just two in 2016. Over the same period, the share of people willing to support change fell from 74% to 43%.

If you lead from the middle, it hits you twice. You didn’t choose the change. You have your own reaction to it. And your team is watching how you carry it.

In this 5-minute video, we unpack what change fatigue really is, the three places it shows up (start by looking at yourself), and five simple steps: two for you, three for your team.

Push on or pause? Spoiler: it’s not either/or.

Before you press play, grab a pen. You’ll want to list every change you and your team are living through right now.
