Training Unleashed
Mastering the Art of Change Leadership with Nancy Murphy
Evan Hackel recently sat down with organizational change consultant Nancy Murphy to discuss a topic that is on everyone’s mind these days: How can effective leaders bring about change in their organizations during these remarkably challenging times?
Nancy, Founder and CEO of CSR Communications, is a trainer, speaker, advisor, and mentor with a passion for teaching leaders of established organizations how to make change stick.
According to Nancy, the key to making change stick is by shifting our approach from managing people to leading people.
“Let’s stop talking about managing change because that implies that change is something that is predictable, controllable, linear, and logical . . . that you’re in certain stages for predictable periods of time and that if you have the right checklists, everything is going to be easy. As I said earlier, organizations are made up of people and people are messy, emotional humans. And especially when it comes to change, there are emotional triggers that make it hard. So, we can’t manage people. We can manage things, but we can’t manage people. We need to lead people.
“And so, the first mistake organizations make is to approach change as a purely scientific process, as though it’s a predictable, linear, manageable thing. Implementation of change might have some of those checklists, but we really need the change leadership first.”
If you are leading your organization through a process of change, you will want to listen to the entire episode of Training Unleashed with Nancy Murphy.

How to Become a Credible Leader of Change: An Inspiring Conversation with Nancy Murphy, CEO CSR Communications
Great conversation with Nancy Murphy about how leaders can truly drive change and influence their organizations. Some of the takeaways:
- Empathy is one of the best tools to influence and instead of resisting, trying to see the world through others eyes and having compassion could help drive change faster
- People resistance to change could be used creatively to make it happen. It is an energy which should be channeled in the right way.
- Organizations need to nurture intrapreneurs which are the hidden soldiers who can make change happen.
- For a change to be a success, we need to move away from thinking that making a big announcement would make it happen. We need to be committed to the vision of it but flexible to the approach to make it happen.
- We don’t need a title to lead. We can influence and drive positive change wherever we are in the organization.
