Abstract

It’s exciting to think about a new vision particularly when you’re the creator/driver of it. You see the need clearly. You feel the urgency in your stomach. You’re motivated to change. You see the fire with your own eyes. Your smell the smoke in your own nostrils. The tent is on fire. You have to change. Why are others in the organization so lackadaisical? Don’t they smell the smoke? Don’t they see the fire? Don’t they feel the urgency to change?1
