About this episode

Bob DePasquale discusses navigating change in company culture using the Kübler Ross change curve.

In this episode, I take you through the Kübler Ross change curve… …and show how it applies when you are shifting from a selfish culture to a selfless, generous one. Change like this is not just a new slogan or a new policy, it is an identity shift that takes people through shock, denial, frustration, depression, experiment, decision, and finally integration. I break down what each stage looks like inside a company that is trying to build generous culture, what you will actually see in your people, and what they need from you at that moment, from simple context and concrete examples all the way to small wins, support to experiment, clear guidance, and long term reinforcement. My goal is not to help you push people to the end of the curve but to help you recognize where they really are so you can guide their next step with clarity, care, and generosity. *Enroll in the "Feeling Generous" Email course 📧 Have a generous weekend of change.😀 ======= For in depth insight on how to attract the best talent and most loyal customers, subscribe to the G2 Newsletter .
