#138: The Readiness Gap: What the Research Says About Why Good Ideas Still Fail

Change doesn’t fail because people are stubborn. It fails because leaders bet on urgency instead of readiness.

Organizational change only sticks when people believe it’s worth it and believe they can pull it off.

That’s the core of Weiner’s theory on change commitment (Value Mindset) and change efficacy (Success Mindset)—and without both, even a great idea will crash and burn.

In this episode, I break down how to assess readiness and share a real story of what happens when you fix the belief gap before pushing forward.

If you're throwing strategies at resistance and hoping something sticks—stop. Then head to The Whole Educator for mindset-driven tools that don’t waste your time (or theirs).
