EPISODE 301: Have you ever rolled out a new process to your team only to be disappointed by how few people followed it? Perhaps, you thought about hiring new people and starting a clean slate at one point.

In this week's episode, I will pull the veil back on some of the real reasons why your team won't change. And you'd be surprised to know that many of these reasons have very little to do with them.
