Dufour quote
“While organizations can pronounce a change in policy or procedure, they cannot proclaim a change in attitudes, beliefs, or
behaviors…The concept of changing culture may seem simple enough, but
changing culture is not like changing the décor.”
Richard DuFour and Robert Eaker (The Leader in Me)
