People, in general, are apt to get swept up into sweeping, grand-scale changes. We see the need to make a gigantic change in order to right the ship when we feel we’ve gotten on the wrong course or caught in rough seas.

This isn’t an effective way to induce positive change on a problem. Policy Relocation HR
