Change Starts Here
AUGUST 3, 2016
The field of organizational change is littered with people who were hired to implement change and then eventually fired because the leaders who hired them wouldn’t actually let them do the job. These are a few of the stories I’ve heard over the years: A change manager wasn’t given access to the people who really needed to lead the change, thus condemning her project to fizzle out.

I joined Spotify in 2008 to focus on machine learning and music recommendations. It’s easy to forget, but Spotify’s key differentiator back then was the low-latency playback. People would say that it felt like they had the music on their own hard drive. (The other key differentiator was licensing – until early 2009 Spotify basically just had all kinds of weird stuff that employees had uploaded.

A recent conversation reminds me of a common blind spot for improvement teams: getting so caught up in implementation that they lose focus on creating lasting change. His cross-functional improvement team was charged with driving out unnecessary costs in the operation. The task seemed straightforward: use data to find opportunities for making better spending decisions, and improve related processes.

Leadership is a great responsibility – but with that responsibility comes something that we never really hear about in all of our education, training and preparation. And it’s something that can be destructive and damaging to our performance as a leader, and to our overall health and well-being, unless it is managed and controlled. That “something” is stress and anxiety.

I recently spent a couple of days in New York. It was hot and humid, so I didn’t think twice being offered a ride in an open bicycle cart from Central Park to my hotel, which was approximately a 15 minute ride. I asked the driver to take the scenic road and enjoyed a last glance of the beautiful park, which added another 35 minutes to my New York experience. “It’s 35 dollars sir’ or at least that is what I have heard.

Listening is an important behavior that many of us fail to do well enough. We fail to listen not because we don’t hear but rather because we don’t care to listen to what we are hearing.
