This week Mark had the opportunity to connect with change leadership strategist Yvonne Ruke Akpoveta. Yvonne is a change strategist, author and board director who through her company The Change Leadership helps organizations navigate change.

Yvonne shared her career journey, including how an early career experience was her "eureka moment" that shaped her perspective on change. She shares what the distinction is between change management (tactical, time-bound, framework-driven) and change leadership (ongoing, skill-based, influence-focused) and talks about how the increasing pace of change in organizations is creating a "tug of war" between old and new ways of working.

She talks about the key change leadership skills: adaptability, agility, and human-centered leadership and the importance of organizations understanding change management beyond just a checklist approach.

The Change Leadership organization is approaching its 10-year anniversary next year and offers consulting, training, and hosts an annual conference bringing change practitioners together.
