Description
They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
And if you believe people don’t change, then you would be right. In a world where instability is constant and exhausting, learning curves are endless, and transformation is the buzzword of the day, the challenge is actually this: people don’t like change.
This groundbreaking book turns the dog in that demoralizing axiom on its head. When leaders step up to create an organizational culture that encourages positive shifts, and team members realize how beneficial change can be, people do change . . . and for the better.
People Do Change offers an alternative approach. It explores the shift from traditional change management methodologies to a more human-centric approach, recognizing that successful organizational transformation hinges on the experiences, emotions, and engagement of the people who are part of it. You’ll explore techniques for making change endure by focusing on individual experiences and collective culture, and how to inspire your team with authentic, meaningful motivation that resonates on a personal level. By building a safe space for continuous adaptation, learning, and growth, your company can position itself to succeed in an increasingly volatile and uncertain business world.
Human-Centric Change Management places people at the core of change initiatives, acknowledging that sustainable progress occurs when your people are active participants rather than passive recipients of change. Whether you’re a seasoned executive, a leader navigating complex dynamics, or an enthusiastic newcomer full of fresh ideas, this book will guide you through leading change with empathy and effectiveness.
Advance Praise
“In today’s world, where change is the only constant, the biggest challenge for leaders isn’t just managing the unknown—it’s inspiring their teams to embrace it. Elisabeth White nails it with a fresh, empowering approach that every leader needs right now.”—Mel Robbins, New York Times bestselling author and host of The Mel Robbins Podcast
“Elisabeth White’s People Do Change is a groundbreaking exploration of navigating change in today’s fast paced world. When people feel like they are part of the solution rather than just the subject of change, they are more likely to embrace it and work toward its success.”—Suzanne Martin, bestselling author of Brilliant leadership: Patterns for Creating High Impact Teams and director of marketing, Learning & Development, Google
“Everyone is in favor of progress—it’s the changes that we don’t like! In People Do Change, Elisabeth White provides the game plan to flip that conclusion by building a team that embraces a new attitude: ‘Together, we win!’”—Les Steckel, veteran NFL coach; colonel (retired), US Marine Corps Reserve; former president and CEO, Fellowship of Christian Athletes
“As a leader who believes in the power of people-centered approaches, People Do Change resonated deeply with me. Elisabeth White’s insight into human-centric change management aligns perfectly with the type of leadership I advocate—one that places empathy, adaptability, and connection at the forefront. In my experience as CEO of the Branson Centre of Entrepreneurship, I’ve seen firsthand how supporting and empowering individuals creates lasting, meaningful transformation. This book is a vital resource for leaders who understand that real change happens only when we inspire people to grow alongside our vision. I highly recommend it for those who want to lead with heart and purpose.”—Lauri-Ann Ainsworth, CEO, Branson Centre of Entrepreneurship
“My main mantra in both life and business is ‘People first, always!’ So it is an absolute delight to provide a testimonial for this fabulous book that confirms what we all know, though many deny . . . the winds of change are constantly blowing. In a business world overwhelmed with processes and technology, we have forgotten what sits at the heart of every organization—its people. If you want to achieve effective and enduring change, then you need to unleash your people. People Do Change will help you do just that.”—Marcus Dimbleby, coauthor of Big Things F@$t, managing director at Effective Direction, and Royal Air Force wing commander (retired)
