Description
Crises are not necessarily bad and may, under certain conditions, actually be required to succeed in an increasingly changing world. Even people who are solidly content with the status quo will begin to act differently if a fire starts on the floor beneath their feet. With fire spreading around them, everyone moves, the status quo is eliminated, and a new beginning is possible. This chapter is excerpted from "A Sense of Urgency."
