    #001 The People Challenge: The Key to Organizational Change with Richard Freishtat PH.D.
    Jan 26 2026

    Why do so many well-intended change initiatives fail even when the strategy is sound? In this episode, we examine why leadership, not technology or structure, is the decisive factor in whether change actually takes hold.


    In this conversation, Sim Sitkin sits down with Richard Freishtat to explore how executive education can serve as a powerful lever for both individual growth and organizational transformation. Drawing on decades of experience designing leadership programs, Freishtat explains why the most persistent challenge organizations face is not innovation or systems, but people, behaviors, and culture.

    Together, they unpack how executive education can help leaders navigate constant and accelerating change by aligning individual development with enterprise-wide priorities. The discussion highlights the importance of creating conditions for learning, embracing feedback as a catalyst for growth, and building trust that can withstand imperfection. They also examine why coaching and feedback are essential to making leadership development “stick,” and why academically grounded frameworks, such as the Six Domains of Leadership, provide leaders with durable guidance amid uncertainty. Ultimately, the episode reframes leadership as the daily work of enabling change, not managing it from the top.
