Mina SeetharamanHOST
You talked earlier about this concept of leaders' identity being tied up in some of this, and I think that is an impediment to some degree to being able to shift out of this mindset and adopt a different paradigm.

Sam ConniffGUEST
Yeah, I think it really does become an identity issue, and I think that's part of the resistance.

Sam ConniffGUEST
Do I like this plan? Do I believe in the OKRs? Is the team all with me? I'm ready for this change.

Sam ConniffGUEST
Change resistance takes place in the body, and there's, you know, this, this difference that we've said before.

Sam ConniffGUEST
It seems like a threat, and that's where self-doubt and slow decisions comes from.
