Episode notes
Resistance to Change
- People resist change when it's imposed upon them, not change itself.
- To foster change adoption, involve people, give them control, and explain the "why."
Patience in Leadership

- Going too fast can lead to resistance and disengagement.
Signs of Going Too Fast
