Change Quote by Elena Aguilar
““Most transformation programs satisfy themselves with shifting the same old furniture about in the same old room. But real transformation requires that we redesign the room itself. Perhaps even blow up the old room. It requires that we change the thinking behind our thinking. Danah Zohar (1997, p. 243)””
