Change is everywhere in our industry but how do we make it meaningful? At the upcoming Europe Summit, CPC Unternehmensmanagement AG is leading a workshop designed to help women turn resistance into drive. In this guest article, Jördis Andersson explores what it really takes to lead change with clarity, empathy, and impact.
Embedding Change for Lasting Impact
Change is no longer the exception – it’s the new normal. Especially in the automotive industry, transformation is constant: from the shift to e-mobility and new digital business models to restructuring and hybrid work. Everyone working in this field is navigating ongoing change.
But change doesn’t automatically lead to progress. Without clarity, involvement and emotional resonance, it often results in friction, withdrawal – or silent resistance.
Change isn’t just about structures. It shapes our daily work lives: new goals, unfamiliar processes, competing priorities. Many women experience this first-hand – leading projects, guiding teams, driving initiatives across departments. In the process, they encounter tension, uncertainty, and invisible barriers.
What if that very resistance became a source of energy? A starting point for drive, direction and impact?
Understanding Resistance. Shaping Change. Creating Impact
Change is never just a technical or structural matter. It touches mindsets, emotions, and relationships. To lead it effectively, we need to understand how people experience it:
- – What does change feel like?
- – How does it affect teams, leaders, individuals?
- – And what helps people not just adapt, but grow through it?
Our workshop “From Resistance to Drive” creates a space to explore these questions. It brings together inspiration, reflection and peer exchange in an interactive format. Participants reflect on personal experiences, share insights, and explore how they can make a difference – in their own teams, projects and organizations. Regardless of job title or level.
