It’s crucial to understand that while organisations can create an environment that fosters desire, the ultimate decision to participate in the change is a personal choice that cannot be forced. Leaders can influence desire by addressing the question ‘What’s in it for me?’ (WIIFM) but must recognize that genuine commitment cannot be mandated.
