No matter how big or small the change, the very first step is building the case for change. As we discussed in both Season 1 and Season 2, that means defining the purpose of the change and the reason people should care. In order to do that successfully and efficiently, you’ll need to get everyone on the same page and marching in the same direction with the same end goal in mind. Easier said than done, right?
That’s the expertise of this week’s guest, Kevin Campbell, the CEO of Syniti, who joins Jennifer Ayers to discuss building the case for change. Kevin shares how he’s been able to relate to others and even find potential issues before they happen through transparency and empathy. If you’re building the case for change, Kevin’s experience and insights are sure to put you on the right path.

What you communicate and how you communicate to the rest of an organization can have a large impact on the change itself. Kevin explains his process of understanding others and how that influences his messaging.
Empathizing with negative people (15:20)
It can be easy to see every change from a place of excitement and hope but not every person is having a great day or is ready to commit to a change. Kevin puts himself in a bad mood on purpose to better understand how naysayers might look at things so he can better empathize and communicate with those people.
