Excellent Executive Coaching: Growing Your Business and Enhancing Your Craft.

Change is hard for many leaders. Dr. Katrina Burrus, MCC discusses with Nancy Murphy what leaders can do to overcome this and how to lead change, as she answers the following questions:

  • What is intrapreneurship and how is it different from entrepreneurship?
  • Why do you focus your work on intrapreneurs?
  • What common mistakes do most intrapreneurs make and what can they do to avoid them?
  • What can leaders do to overcome resistance to change?
  • How does someone know if they're ready to lead change?

Who is Nancy Murphy?

Nancy’s spent her career saying what others are afraid to – and learning to say it in ways that others will listen. She’s the founder and president of CSR Communications and creator of Intrapreneurs Influence Lab. Her passion is helping leaders of change within established organizations (intrapreneurs) influence and persuade others so that they can realize their vision for change faster, with less frustration and resistance.

From challenging stereotypes of girls in her Catholic school more than 40 years ago, to her first job after college convincing non-profits to engage youth volunteers, or her role as board chair of a global non-profit transforming the way we do international development... she’s experienced the challenges of leading big change within established organizations.

And she’s willing to share all the mistakes she made – and all the solutions she discovered – so that you don’t have to learn them the hard way.

The Brilliant Jerk often responds with anger which is a form of the fight strategy when faced with a threat. Employees are aggressed and don’t get enough support to resolve issues, and they are left feeling disempowered, depressed, and confused about what to do.

The demanding leader has high expectations of the desired outcome but when employees have failed their task, the demanding leader suspends judgement, thinks before reacting, and, therefore, is better able to listen to issues and find a constructive solution for the employee.
