Abstract
You have achieved initial success in your change initiative. Employees and colleagues are informed and follow your lead. Everybody is aware of the urgency and strategy. You have the feeling that everything runs by itself. You are exhausted, since you have made tremendous efforts in the last weeks and months. It is time to rest. A little vacation would be spot on right now (cf. Kotter 2012, p. 139). The sun’s heat, a secluded beach, the warm sea water—wonderful!
Do not fall into that trap and persevere instead. This chapter teaches you why and how.

Notes

Male gorillas become silverbacks when they are approximately 12 years old. The term comes from their characteristic back fur coloring. Usually this term is only used for the leader of the gorilla group.
- 2.
This is not only true for Scrum contexts.
