We are currently involved in three change processes. The first is with a once pace-setting company that now drags its heels; the second with an efficient organisation that is losing its relevance, finding itself out of tune with the times; the third with a leader needing a new & significant challenge. We encounter the reactionaries and radicals, the purists & pragmatists, farmers & hunters. We see fear of loss, hope of gain & the muddled middle.
