Recommendation

A growing trend in change management theory responds to the uncertain times organizations face. Beverley Patwell encourages people to embark on a “change journey.” She urges you to analyze the power dynamics at work, to be an accountable team player and to seek constant feedback as you align, integrate, carry out and renew your change process. Patwell draws on extensive research to elucidate her “Use-of-Self” philosophy, which positions the individual as the linchpin for meaningful change. While her style is dry and full of jargon, she proves supremely knowledgeable. Her approach will resonate with leaders adapting to new workplace challenges.

Take-Aways

  • “Use-of-Self” focuses on the individual as the pivotal point for meaningful change. 
  • The process for “Leading Meaningful Change” (LMC) has six precepts.
  • Each principle in the “LMC Framework” builds on the previous principle.

    When we come together as a team, we can become a force to be reckoned with and I believe this process will be worthwhile to integrate into many opportunities that will arise when encountering a problem.
