The most controversial thing  I teach leaders with The Brighton Leadership teaches leaders! Check out the change leader tool kit https://brightonleadership.com/change-leader-toolkit-yt/   
The most controversial thing that I teach leaders, is how do you remain authentic when you're responsible for leading change and you don't agree with it or even feel comfortable supporting the change? There are times in every Leader's leadership journey that he or she must be authentic and confidently lead others through a change, when that leader is not feeling supportive of it! 

Here are some tips for leading through change authentically. Delineate that means get clear about the roles that you play, a critical mistake is confusing the private role of an employee and the public role of a manager or leader within the organization these are two separate and distinct roles.

Next is describe, share the change with employees in their context not in yours. During change leaders often struggle to share anything because they don't have all the answers. Describe the connection between the change and the organizational direction or strategy and the values or describe the process that's being followed to implement the change. People need to feel certainty it's the leader's responsibility. Sharing everything you will be seen as a trustworthy authentic leader through change by taking time to delineate, describe, and designate.
