  <p>Six problems can slow your corporate transformation to a crawl; attack them sequentially.</p>
  <p><strong>Cautious management culture.</strong> Compel all executives to confront reality and agree on ground rules for working together.</p>
  <p><strong>Business-as-usual management process.</strong> Run a no-slack launch on a parallel track with regular systems; make sure there are early, visible victories.</p>
  <p><strong>Initiative gridlock.</strong> Limit the company to three or four initiatives.</p>
  <p><strong>Recalcitrant executives.</strong> Compress launch to quickly engage key executives and to identify and confront those not on board.</p>
  <p><strong>Disengaged employees.</strong> Rapidly cascade the changes to all employees to boost engagement.</p>
  <p><strong>Loss of focus during execution.</strong> Anticipate and defuse postlaunch blues, midcourse overconfidence, and the presumption of perpetual motion.</p>
