In this episode of The Ron Edmondson Leadership Podcast Ron and Chandler Vannoy talk about how to change an already established culture.

Change is hard in any context. Any level of change involves people. And every change brings an emotional response to change. The only way a leader can “keep the peace” in the realm of change management is simply to offer no change. Period.

I can tell you, however, from very personal experience, that leading change in an established culture is harder than when you get to build the culture from scratch.

But the commercialism doesn’t have to rule in our hearts and homes. This year let’s focus on the Christ Child and remember the true meaning of the holiday season.
