-Getting your people to trust the change, share what they know, and lead through it — that's what decides whether any of it sticks. That's our work.
+Getting your people to trust the change, share what they know, and lead through it — that's what decides whether any of it sticks. We work it like a craft, not a pep talk: a clear method, and the people skill to make it land.

+Where change actually breaks
Because the new way asks people to change — and people don't resist change to be difficult. They resist it because it threatens something: their standing, their habits, the thing that's made them the one everyone relies on. The veteran who won't quite share what he knows. The supervisor who nods in the meeting and does it the old way Monday morning. The blame that starts flying the first time something goes wrong.
-None of that is a character flaw. It's how people work — and it's the part that decides whether your investment pays off or sits on a shelf.
