Managing Around is a bi-weekly educational podcast about Social Science, Culture and Management. The host of the show is Dr Maik Arnold, Professor for Social Work Management at the University of Applied Sciences Dresden (@ProfManagement) who talks about pressing issues in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, Social Work Management, Management History and Culture. Unlike other podcasts, Managing Around takes a transdisciplinary approach and views management phenomena through the lens of social sciences and humanities. Besides, it is the only podcast, so far, that also covers works and themes in social science poetry.

70. Navigating Resistance to Change: Practical Strategies for Social Work Leaders

Today, we're diving into a topic that affects every organization, every team, and quite frankly, all of us – resistance to change. As Waldman and O'Reilly (2022) found in their research, resistance to change is one of the main reasons why up to 70% of organizational changes fail to achieve their desired results. We will unpack why this happens and, more importantly, how you can successfully navigate it – especially in social work settings where the stakes are often incredibly high.
