Seventy percent of organizational change initiatives fail. Not because leaders lack conviction, but because they're using the wrong model. Adam Kahane, co-founder of Reos Partners and author of Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems, spent 35 years facilitating change in some of the world's most intractable conflicts, from post-apartheid South Africa to Colombia's peace process.

This practice is called "radical engagement," and it’s more effective than almost anything else on offer.
