In this episode of "Success Story: Lessons," we dive into insights from leadership coach Alain Hunkins on driving change and managing up. Alain emphasizes that lasting change requires leaders to create a sense of urgency and self-awareness. Without a "wake up call," people tend to stick with what's comfortable.

Alain outlines tactics for managing up the chain of command, which centers on aligning with superiors' goals. He advises positioning ideas as helping leadership accomplish their vision. This takes empathy, building credibility over time, and artful framing.

We also get Alain's wisdom on his "three C's" of leadership: connection, communication and collaboration. He boils down that connection means showing people you care through empathy and reliability. Communication requires confirming understanding, not just stating ideas. And collaboration happens by meeting people's core needs - safety, energy, purpose and autonomy.
