Part B: Speaking to the Hearts


To implement significant, lasting change in an organization, it is vital to engage stakeholders by helping them connect with the underlying reasons for the change. As Kotter emphasizes in his "Heart of Change" video, sustainable transformation relies on reaching both the "hearts and minds" of others. While understanding the change process is important, fostering a strong emotional connection is even more important. This creates a "sense of urgency", motivating stakeholders to recognize the need for change rather than viewing it as another initiative. When everyone share a collective understanding of the challenges and benefits, it unifies the organization and enhances collaboration. Simon Sinek (2013) suggests that “people don’t buy what we do, they buy why we do it.” Ultimately, this creates an environment were change is embraced and actively supported, increasing the likelihood of success.
