Not on a superficial, “oh-yeah, we should change” level, but in your bones – the way things are now is causing problems that are undermining what we’re trying to do at best, and setting us up for failure at worst. The second step is to look in the mirror and accept that this situation is as much about you as anyone else, and that it’s in your power (yours and your team’s) to generate the urgency that will allow action and change.
