Navigate Change with Presence, Not Plans
"Be the change you want to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhi
Change isn't just about following a plan. It's about people, feelings, and relationships. In Theory U, change happens when we're present with others, when we really listen and care for them.
When we work with understanding and respect, change becomes possible. It's not something done to others; it's something we all do together. So when managing change, remember: it's not about ticking boxes, it's about being human.

Embrace Level Four Listening for Effective Change
Listening is more than hearing words; it's about understanding others. In Theory U, there are four levels of listening, and the deepest, Level Four, is called Generative Listening.
Here, you silence your own thoughts and judgments, fears and cynicisms, and truly connect with others' ideas and feelings. You don't just listen; you sense what's said and unsaid. It's in this deep listening that you find new ways to adapt, learn, and grow.
You see things differently, feel more connected, and find new paths to change. It's not just about managing change, it's about evolving with it.

CURATOR'S NOTE
Change management is about presence, not plans. As a collective we continue to contribute to results we don’t want to see. If everyone became 10% more present within themselves, with themselves then perhaps they would truly see, hear and connect with the other human beings that we engage with on a daily basis. We’re quick to judge, but how quick are we to truly listen to what is being said and unsaid?
