*****************************************
Growth sounds exciting—until your team starts to feel overwhelmed, confused, or resistant. In this episode of Leadership LIVE @ 8:05!, Andrew Frazier sits down with change communications expert Mary Lou Panzano to unpack what really happens inside a small business when you introduce new goals, systems, and structures.
You’ll learn how to use Mary Lou’s 4C Framework—Clarity, Connection, Caring, and Courage to communicate change in a way your people can understand, support, and act on. Whether you’re hiring, restructuring, adding technology, or scaling up, you’ll walk away with practical scripts, strategies, and simple steps to help your team align with your next level of growth without burning them out or losing their trust.
In this conversation, Andrew and Mary Lou discuss:
• Why employees resist change even when growth is positive
• How the 4C Framework helps leaders communicate more effectively
• Common mistakes businesses make during transitions
• Practical ways to build trust and engagement during change
• How leaders can guide teams through uncertainty with confidence
