"I am not interested in transformation," said no CEO ever. Everybody's transforming. And so they should be. The problem is that transformations can feel like pushing water uphill, with leaders exhorting their people to change and despairing that they ever will. So, what's missing? Neuroscience. Abandon rational, reasonable arguments for change in favour of science-backed and simple tactics .
