An individual and an organization’s ability to reach their maximum potential surrounds their capacity to manage change. The need to reframe change management into perspectives that surround communication and accountability are crucial. As Carsten Tams (2018) posits, while managers are busy relentlessly communicating about the change imperative, the design of many organizations slants the playing field toward controllability, stability, routinization, risk-avoidance, zero-tolerance for error, or deference to authority. The “slanting” creates an atmosphere where fluid and transparent communication is stifled. Today’s leaders are stagnating because of a hyperacute focus on controllability, stability, and routinization. All three are the antithesis of innovation, creativity, and inclusivity, which are the backbone of productive organizational cultures. (Nagelbush 2020)
