Description

In this episode of Manager Lab we explore Ron Carucci’s Harvard Business Review article on the emotional strengths required to lead through change, focusing on five key tensions leaders must hold: agency vs. ambivalence, belonging vs. disruption, confidence vs. humility, patience vs. impatience, and consistency vs. adaptability.


Practical takeaways include building emotional awareness, being transparent about inner conflicts, recalibrating often, keeping a coherent change story, and protecting recovery time—plus simple actions you can try this week to practice holding tension more effectively.
