How to help your team manage change

TED
About this episode

The only thing we can guarantee will happen…is change. So how do you make transitions less painful and more empowering? This week, Anne and Frances get a call from a listener — a doctor and Senior Director of a healthcare non-profit — whose organization’s success means new ways of working for her team. Anne and Frances help her find ways to avoid burnout, recenter her team, and collectively accelerate the mission. They share clear communication tactics for managing fast-moving change and retaining your best people.

What problems are you dealing with at work right now? Call or text 234-FIXABLE or email fixable@ted.com to be featured on the show.
