Leading Meaningful Change

Beverley Patwell

Based on her research and 30 years of experience helping people lead and manage meaningful change, Beverley Patwell offers a new framework to guide and enhance the change journey. This approach is humanizing, engaging, and results in the belief in a higher purpose that permeates throughout the organization while at the same time achieves outcomes that are far greater than one person’s single contribution.


Patwell’s framework is effective in:
• creating a shared vision that compels people to be engaged and involved in the change journey;
• developing internal leaders and strong, cohesive and aligned teams to lead, manage and support the changes; and
• developing strategies to effectively lead, manage and evaluate the human side of change.


At the core of the framework are the Use-of-Self principles applied to the change process as seen through interviews with 24 multi-generational emerging, current and long-service leaders who explain why Use-of-Self remains a key element in successfully leading and managing change.


The book also includes practical tools to help leaders and managers across the globe address change leadership challenges. Of special note is a two-year case study of the Senior Leadership Team in the City of Ottawa who led a significant city-wide culture shift using the framework.
