Change with Less Pain

Have you ever been frustrated that the people around you didn’t seem to move as fast as you expected them to when adopting the change in front of them? Have you watched initiatives fail as the energy-builders at the head of the line switched their focus onto something else before the thing even got done? Have you gotten part way through a change and wondered if this was still the right thing to do?
