L.E.A.D & Lumos Learing
This video is a discussion featuring Richard Mathy, who shares his experiences and insights on managing resistance to change and implementing new technologies in educational and organizational settings. Mathy emphasizes the importance of empathy and understanding different perspectives when introducing change, highlighting his experiences with technology rollouts like smartboards and Google Drive. He discusses how early resistance often stems from psychological concerns rather than opposition to the change itself and underscores the value of addressing people's fears and stressors directly. Strategies such as celebrating small wins, empowering lead adopters, and fostering open dialogue are mentioned as effective ways to manage change. Mathy also touches on insights from his book, advocating for a people-first approach and acknowledging the importance of saving time over tackling learning curves. The conversation includes a game of myth vs. reality and audience questions, where Mathy offers practical tips for handling resistant individuals and improving change management practices, particularly in educational settings.
