Change Management

There are two ways of change: revolution or evolution. Innovation follows by radical change. Or step by step continuous improvement. However, if we try to change by ourselves, any drastical change usually will be difficult. It is because our mind will reject something that threat our comformity. In our brain there is an 'amygdala' that work to protect or remind us from situation that will threat us (our life). It is a warning for "fight or flight" action. It is useful to protect us from wild anymal or something that threat our life, but it is not good for our plan for change.
