Agreed, well said and running into this on a daily basis. Even great leadership cannot always get a teenager to clean their room !

Very true, and demonstrated in a wide range of "change projects". Leaders must understand that those projects are essential for their success, and sometimes for their long-term survival.

Change is scary. Staying the same is scarier.

Cannot agree with this more having experienced it time and again, the failure is ultimately lack of leadership in every case. This mentality will snowball until "Team Sabotage" cripples the implementation resulting in a re-boot which becomes very costly to the organization.
