How to Roll Out a New System or Process at Work
Getting buy-in, planning the rollout, and making the new way stick even if you're not the boss.By Whitney Stout, JD
Length6h 5m
About this audiobook
How to Roll Out a New System or Process at Work is a practical guide to leading organizational change when you're responsible for the outcome but don't have the authority to simply tell everyone what to do.
Inside, you'll learn to:
Anticipate resistance before it becomes a problem. Recognize where a change threatens routines, relationships, control, or professional standing—and distinguish legitimate concerns from reluctance to change.
Build a rollout plan that goes beyond the announcement. Identify dependencies, prepare affected departments, sequence implementation, and define what successful adoption actually looks like.
Communicate change without creating more confusion. Prepare leadership announcements, brief managers, answer difficult questions, and keep everyone working from the same facts.
Handle the inevitable complications. Navigate competing priorities, missed deadlines, leadership backpedaling, and the people who agree in meetings but never change what they do.
