S1 E11: Leading and Lagging

In this episode, we address a question from one of our listeners: what effect do the laggards have on the innovators and early adopters and why?  We dig deep in this question, and pick apart why laggards have such a negative effect on others and why focusing too much on the lagging end of change can undermine your efforts.

The three main areas we dig into are:

• Leadership and what we are saying to our leading edge,
• Confronting the fact that laggards just don't want to change, and
• That laggards can be toxic.  

Figuring out how to navigate this difficult group is the key to sustainable change.
