Change Management Lessons From Brexit
On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom (UK) voted to withdraw from the European Union (EU). The referendum, called by Prime Minister David Cameron, produced a 52% to 48% win for the Leave side. Tellingly, the campaign has been dubbed “Brexit” by the Leave side, a contraction of British and Exit. If the UK chooses to honour the referendum results and proceed with the exit, the changes could trigger significant economic, social and political changes, within the UK, the EU and beyond.
