About this episode

This episode explores the recurring challenges CEOs face when underlying pressures resurface despite initial changes.

You make a change. It works. Things move again. And then quietly, gradually, the same pattern comes back. Different situation. Different people. Same feeling. This is one of the most consistent things I see in leaders and organisations. Not resistance. Not failure. A pattern that hasn't been addressed at the level where it's actually generated. This episode is about what that pattern is, where it lives, and why surface-level change can't reach it. ------------------------------- Follow Maryanne for updates here: www.maryannekatsidis.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maryannekatsidis/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/maryannekatsidisadvisor Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryannekatsidis/ By accessing this podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Maryanne Katsidis, or used by Maryanne Katsidis with permission, and are protected under the Australian and International trademark laws.
