Why Change Slows Down: What Leaders Do to Sustain Momentum
FREE event hosted by Gemba Academy!
Most change initiatives don’t fail dramatically. They slow down. Momentum fades, leadership reinforcement weakens, and old habits quietly return.
Even well-funded, well-intentioned improvement efforts can lose traction when leadership behaviors and systems don’t consistently support them.
This session explores why change stalls and what leaders do differently to sustain momentum over time.
In one focused session, you’ll gain practical insight into the leadership patterns that either accelerate progress or quietly undermine it.
