FOREWORD
In a year where even the most future-ready leaders 'had a moment', Dr Jen Frahm stepped up.
Understanding conventional change tools needed a sharpen - a rethink - Jen got to work. In Change. Leader, Jen provides space for personal reflection and learning as well as timely instruction for those who - having experienced a year like no other - understand we must get back on our feet, refresh our skills and swiftly return to the business of change leadership.
Jen demonstrates why change leadership matters more than ever explaining that storm is the new norm and that change leadership is both a noun and an instruction. She asks the question: Are you up for it?
There is a kindness in this book recognising that there is no such thing as a perfect change leader and self-reflection, challenge and relentless learning is forgiven, indeed acknowledged, as our stock-in- trade.
I commend this book to public and private sector boards and executive teams aiming to set the tone at the top, lead cultural and organisational change and be more responsive to an ever-increasing rate of transformation and disruption. It will challenge the way you think about change and leadership.
Finally, to those who wish to more effectively contribute to the important conversations of our time - be that standing up for gender and race equality or protecting our planet - this is our book and our shared challenge to put our new, or resharpened tools, to best use.
All the best and stay well,
