Huw Thomas
Huw Thomas is a change leadership expert, executive mentor and sought-after speaker who has spent his career helping senior leaders and organisations create change without the friction, fatigue and failures that commonly derail strategy execution. As an entrepreneur, non-executive director and former consulting executive, he brings rare credibility across both the boardroom and frontline of business.
For over two decades, Huw has advised thousands of leaders across more than 150 organisations spanning listed enterprises, government agencies, multinationals and for-purpose organisations. He has led award-winning projects across more than 15 industries and is a trusted executive coach at some of the world’s most successful organisations.
Huw’s expertise lies in influencing behaviour change, both individually and at scale. His central argument is simple and confronting: knowing why change is needed is never enough. What leaders lack is the how – the psychological, political and relational skills to move people from resistance to commitment. To that end, Huw has developed a practical, research-informed, behaviour change model that gives leaders a concrete framework for building the conditions people need to change, not just the case for why they should.
With an international audience spanning thousands of subscribers and followers, Huw publishes regularly on leadership and change and is a recognised voice in the field of change and transformational leadership.
At home, Huw lives with his wife Annabel and enjoys the ultimate leadership challenge of raising their two daughters, Esme and Layla.
How to Change Anything
by Huw Thomas
Organisations don’t change; people do.
Organisations invest millions in change initiatives that deliver only a fraction of their promised value. Individuals set goals, make resolutions and pursue ambitions that never quite materialise. The problem is rarely a lack of information or motivation. It’s a misunderstanding of how people actually respond to change – and how to overcome the friction that holds us back.
In How to Change Anything, Huw Thomas cuts through the fads, jargon and the “all we need is a powerful why” mythology to reveal what really drives lasting change. Drawing on the latest behavioural science and two decades of experience as a Change Leadership Expert across 150 organisations, he introduces the How to Change Anything Model: five essential elements that determine whether change succeeds or stalls.
In these pages, you’ll discover the nine invisible forces that make change so hard and why well-funded transformation programs often fail before they begin. You’ll leave knowing how to build the clarity, commitment, capability, capacity and follow-through to make change stick.
Whether you’re transforming an organisation, guiding a team or pursuing a personal goal, this book provides the map, mindset and method to create lasting change.
Change is possible. You just need to know how.
