Tips for writing about this topic

  • Be specific about what changed and what you did, vague leadership wisdom doesn't connect. Name the situation.
  • Show vulnerability about what you got wrong during the transition. Admitting mistakes makes change stories credible.
  • End with a concrete takeaway someone can use in their own change situation, not a feel-good platitude.
