It’s so easy to get change management wrong. Whether it’s sweeping organizational changes or tweaks to your systems and processes, leaders need to adapt and manage the challenges that come with any change. When bringing big changes to your team, there could be differing opinions, resistance to change, or anxiety over changes. We call these “adaptive challenges,” and it’s important that leaders know how to balance these tensions in the right way.  In this episode of the Built Right podcast, we speak with Ebenezer Ikonne, AVP Product & Engineering at Cox Automotive, and author of the book ‘Becoming a Leader in Product Development.’ Ebenezer explores the six most important adaptive leader behaviors to adopt and why. These are the behaviors that you as a leader can adopt to encourage your team to work with you and to reassure them. Key Moments:  The challenges of managing changes in your team Why leaders need to step back and gain perspective How to identify adaptive challenges  The importance of regulating distress in your team How to maintain disciplined attention on the changes Why leaders should give work back to the people How to make space for leadership voices in your team Key Links: How to Become a Leader in Product Development: https://www.apress.com/us/book/9781484272978   YouTube: Joy at Work: https://www.youtube.com/@JoyatWork  Connect with Ebenezer on LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/ebenezer-ikonne Follow Ebenezer on Twitter: https://twitter.com/eikonne  Read the Kanyi Kwuo Okwu blog: https://eikonne.wordpress.com/ Mentioned in this episode:Talking AI - Conversations with AI experts and early adoptersWelcome to the Talking AI podcast, where we dive deep into the world of artificial intelligence with host Matt Paige.
