Change from the Inside Out

Re-wiring ourselves to become change-capable

BooksChange from the Inside Out

Your Best Tool for Navigating and Thriving Through Change

Change initiatives fail because humans are hardwired to return to what's worked for us in the past. Change from the Inside Out offers a straightforward process for rewiring ourselves and those we lead to be more change-capable.

Erika Andersen says avoiding change has been a historical imperative. In this book, she shows how we can overcome that reluctance and get good at making necessary change. Then, using a fictional story about a jewelry business changing generational hands, Andersen lays out a five-step model for addressing both this human side of change and its practical aspects:

  • Step 1: Clarify the change and why it's needed—Get clear on what the change is and the benefits it will bring.
  • Step 2: Envision the future state—Build a shared picture of the post-change future.
  • Step 3: Build the change—Bring together a change team, engage key stakeholders, and plan the change.
  • Step 4: Lead the transition—Build a transition plan that supports the human side of the change, then engage the whole organization in making the change.
  • Step 5: Keep the change going—Work to make your organization permanently more change-capable.

With opportunities to self-reflect and try out the ideas and approaches throughout, this book is a practical guide to thriving in this era of nonstop change.

Your Best Tool for Navigating and Thriving Through Change

Change ini­tia­tives fail because humans are hard­wired to return to what’s worked for us in the past. Change from the Inside Out offers a straight­for­ward process for rewiring our­selves and those we lead to be more change-capable.

Eri­ka Ander­sen says avoid­ing change has been a his­tor­i­cal imper­a­tive. In this book, she shows how we can over­come that reluc­tance and get good at mak­ing nec­es­sary change. Then, using a fic­tion­al sto­ry about a jew­el­ry busi­ness chang­ing gen­er­a­tional hands, Ander­sen lays out a five-step mod­el for address­ing both this human side of change and its prac­ti­cal aspects:

  • Step 1: Clar­i­fy the change and why it’s needed—Get clear on what the change is and the ben­e­fits it will bring.
  • Step 2: Envi­sion the future state—Build a shared pic­ture of the post-change future.
  • Step 3: Build the change—Bring togeth­er a change team, engage key stake­hold­ers, and plan the change.
  • Step 4: Lead the transition—Build a tran­si­tion plan that sup­ports the human side of the change, then engage the whole orga­ni­za­tion in mak­ing the change.
  • Step 5: Keep the change going—Work to make your orga­ni­za­tion per­ma­nent­ly more change-capable.

With oppor­tu­ni­ties to self-reflect and try out the ideas and approach­es through­out, this book is a prac­ti­cal guide to thriv­ing in this era of non­stop change.

In Change from the Inside Out, Eri­ka has tak­en what feels insur­mount­able (whether it be self-change or trans­for­ma­tion of an entire insti­tu­tion) and bro­ken it up into man­age­able, real­is­tic com­po­nents. She brings to life the prin­ci­ples inher­ent in suc­cess­ful and sus­tain­able con­tin­u­ous improve­ment, remind­ing us that this is an ongo­ing process for our­selves and our world.
