	Description:		Inside the Messy Middle is a special series from The Inner Game of Change This fortnightly short series is for people who carry responsibility inside complexity. Between strategy and delivery. Between intent and impact. Between what was imagined and what must now be made real. These episodes are not about tools or frameworks. They are reflections on judgement, dignity, and the human cost of change as it is actually lived. Episode One When you are asked to lead change you did not design Change often arrives already in motion. The decision has been made. The direction is set. And somehow, you are now responsible for carrying it. In this opening episode, I reflects on what it means to lead change you did not design, and why the messy middle is not a failure of leadership, but where judgement and dignity matter most. This episode invites you to pause, notice the moment you are standing in, and recognise that certainty is not the work. Judgement is.
