In other words when you get to the final hard core detractors you can:
1. Work with them to change2. Accept it (80-20 rule)
3. Force the change 4. Replace
But don’t start here first, you project will never get momentum
Keith Chisholm 2014
It’s the corporate equivalent of walking into a casino and putting all your money on one number
Odds of success are lowand if you blow it you're out the game...
