Why Change Stalls: What We Can Do When Real Progress Slows

March 2026 - 21CLHK
We are navigating constant change — new initiatives, new expectations, and increasing pressure to improve. Yet even well-intentioned change often slows, fragments, or fades over time. The challenge is rarely resistance. More often, it’s a lack of clarity about how change actually spreads, how people experience it, and what conditions leaders need to design for progress to continue.
This session draws on leadership lessons from real school contexts to explore why change stalls and what helps it move forward. Using insights from change and adoption theory, participants will examine how leaders can diagnose hesitation, design for capacity, and respond to breakdown with intention rather than pressure.
You will leave with practical ways to read their system more accurately and make small, purposeful moves that support sustainable change.
