Here's a bit of the conversation between Ask Dr. Change (our own Linda Ackerman Anderson) and Joe Rafter, Business and Social Change Leader. Joe has spent his career achieving results - in a vast array of organizations - by specializing in Change Leadership. Linda and Joe talk about how he stood up an Enterprise Change Management function at Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), as an advocate for leadership and personal self-awareness, modeling effective culture, and pursing true adoption within the company. We also explore Joe's self-proclaimed role as the “greatest advocate for football in America”, and how it led him to launch one of his most meaningful efforts yet -- the National Football Alliance. He shares his vision for this new transformational nonprofit, and his strategy for increasing the value and safety of youth football.
