For forty-plus years, Linda has studied what actually derails transformational change. Her insights aren’t about tools or templates — they’re about discipline, mindset, and meaning. She shows why relevance and personal connection drive real engagement, and why most organizations still treat change as an event instead of a strategic function.

We dig into the trap of leaders who delegate transformation without transforming themselves, and the illusion that people can “add” change on top of already full plates. It’s an unflinching look at how organizations overload, under-resource, and unintentionally resist the very change they want.

If you lead change projects in a large organization, this episode will help you see the patterns behind slow traction and surface-level buy-in — and how to lead change that actually sticks.

Here are three provocative questions that arise from this Change Signal conversation with Dr. Linda Ackerman Anderson:

  • What if change were treated like finance?

  • Are your leaders modelling the change — or just managing it?

  • And what hidden costs are you paying for “too much change, too fast”?
