What if the biggest thing holding your transformation back isn't the technology, the strategy, or the budget? What if it's the way you're leading the change? As your business grows, the way you lead has to evolve too. The decisions that worked when the organization was smaller may not work when you're managing more teams, stakeholders, technology, and competing priorities. In this episode of What Not To Do: A Leadership Conversation, IMPAAKT Magazine's Editor in Chief Shrutika Khedekar sits down with Solange Jacob, Vice President, Google Cloud at a Leading Google Partner and Prosci-Certified Change Practitioner, to unpack the leadership mistakes that can quietly slow transformation and business progress. From stakeholder alignment and change fatigue to organizational readiness and the role of middle management, Solange challenges leaders to look beyond the transformation plan and ask a harder question: Are you actually bringing your organization with you? It's a conversation about what not to do when you're asking an organization to change, grow, and perform differently. If you're leading a growing business, a major transformation, or your next phase of organizational change, this is one conversation you may want your leadership team to hear. About Solange Jacob Solange Jacob is Vice President, Google Cloud at a Leading Google Partner, with 15+ years of experience across cloud technology and enterprise transformation. She is also a Prosci-Certified Change Practitioner, bringing a human-centered approach to organizational change.
