Never change horses while crossing a river

from Coaching The Elephant · host René Sonneveld

The old riding proverb warns against swapping horses on unstable ground mid-crossing. This article applies it to leadership decisions, through three situations: the MBA graduate under pressure to change jobs, the impatient CEO who learns to pause and analyse, and the change leader balancing conviction with the resistance of the team around them.
