Power Mapping for Change Leaders: Tiziana Casciaro

June 3, 2026·37 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Here are three questions that arise from this Change Signal conversation with Tiziana Casciaro:  Where does power really sit in your system? Why don’t people use your “open door”?  When is resistance a skill gap — and when is it a coalition fight? Most change efforts in big organizations fail for a quiet reason: we pretend change is a plan, when it’s actually a power-and-relationships story. Tiziana helps make “power” discussable again — less as a dirty word, more as the energy that moves decisions, resources, and attention. We talk about power mapping as a practical discipline: noticing who’s influential, what the organization values, and how the informal network really works (because the org chart is only part of the truth). And we dig into the relational labour of leading change — how much listening, curiosity, and conversation it actually takes to create momentum. Finally, we get honest about resistance. Sometimes people need resources and a path to success; sometimes you have to build a coalition to move a transformation forward. Change Signal. Where transformational change leaders seek and find modern change wisdom. Cut through the blather, the BS, and the noise to find the good stuff that works. *** WHEN YOU’RE READY 🎧 A new episode every week (and sometimes two!) The Change Signal newsletter.
