It is infinitely better to get people to change ____________, to embrace the change and take ___________ of it so they can drive toward success.

• A. voluntarily; ownership
• B. quickly; control
• C. reluctantly; risk
• D. strategically; resources

Answer: (A)

Getting people to change voluntarily and take ownership of the change is the most effective path because genuine adoption comes from intrinsic motivation and personal accountability. When individuals opt in, they’re more engaged, persistent, and creative in applying new behaviors, and they treat the change as something they personally champion. Ownership turns the plan into responsibility, aligning daily actions with the desired outcome and sustaining momentum. Relying on speed can spark fear or sloppy implementation, while insisting on control can undermine buy-in. Reluctant change signals resistance, making outcomes unreliable, and focusing only on resources ignores the human element that actually drives successful, lasting transformation.
