The Obvious/Elusive Idea That Transforms Change Stakeholder Engagement | Misha Glouberman | Modern Change Management & Leading Change
Change Signal: Modern Change Management that WorksShow Notes
Here are three big questions that Misha Glouberman asks in the quest for better change gatherings:
What if the way you’re structuring your events is stopping the very change you want to create?
How might things shift if you assumed everyone involved was a competent adult?
And are your “best practices” actually working against your goals?
Misha Glouberman is a master of human dynamics and group design — a facilitator who’s spent decades helping people run better meetings, conferences, and community events. In this short, lively conversation, he shares four simple rules for creating gatherings that actually work — and how those same rules apply to change projects of every kind.
You’ll hear why most organizations forget to ask the most basic question (“What’s this for?”), how to design experiences that align with your real goals, and why giving people more control creates more engagement, not chaos.
If your change initiatives involve bringing people together — in rooms, on screens, or across departments — this episode will make you rethink how you host, design, and lead.
