Today, it’s our pleasure to welcome Richard to The Authority for an enlightening discussion based on his international bestseller, Change: Learn to Love It, Learn to Lead It.
Richard and Ross discuss:
Questions: What is change and what makes it meaningful. How the pandemic necessitated change and changed Gen-Z’s perspective on the inevitability of change.  “We are living in the first age where we no longer determine the rate of change.” How Richard navigated the change from teacher to three-time UK Business Speaker of the Year.  Overcoming the fear of change caused by “imagined consequences.” What the innovation of “Total Football” shows us about embracing change.  Is loving and embracing change necessary for leading it? Fear of the unknown and how authority figures will react to our own efforts at change.  Overcoming artificial complexity and self-constructed barriers.  CQ — the Curiosity Quotient.  Richard’s next endeavours.  Find Change, Simple Thinking, Creating Tomorrow’s Schools Today, and all of Richard’s other books and work at www.richardgerver.com
