They explain why organizational transformation is tied to any other type of transformation and the role of leadership in those changes.

This week's takeaways:

• Leaders have to be on board with the change.
• Organizational change is always present.

This week's takeaways:

• Success in the new domain often comes from the different approaches and knowledge you bring with you
• Use tools to gather data and understand the risks
