“For survival reasons, we are wired to be loyal, consistent and disciplined in our work. These traits serve us well, allowing us to provide for our families and thrive in our organizations.

Therefore, let’s focus on learning how human beings experience change. This will allow us to better understand the scope and relevance of the solutions proposed in subsequent modules.
