In my experience senior leaders need to personally feel pain (in either their pocketbooks or egos) to get on board and embrace those thought-leading revolutionaries down below.

I especially relate to being stuck in the past. I can't tell you how many clients of mine say "well, we always have done it that way" without even realizing they are being resistant to change.

Is there any specific technique to bring the change in an organization by changing the mind sets of top bross? Here it is worthmentioning that i m talking about the eastern organizations where it is a prevailing practice that its too hard to change the mind set of the tops.

Love your insightful article here Mark! Great points that you make, especially 'We're Part of the Problem"... and even though I am one of 'those' coaches, I believe I'm pretty careful in bringing awareness that it is within us to either change, succeed, win or whatever you set out to do. There is no magic button to do it for you. Appreciate you taking the time during your flight to share your thoughts on this. You never know who you will be sitting next to and what you can learn from them! It is so true and human nature does make it very hard to change. Love your insightful article here Mark!
