Many people with a high need for achievement find the process of individual change very difficult. Some professionals resign themselves to organizational, personal, and life situations that are miserable or where they feel caught. Professor Thomas DeLong discusses individual motivation and how to leverage the opportunities that confront people in their professional and private lives. The presentation is based on DeLong's book, "Flying Without A Net: Turn Fear of Change Into Fuel for Success."
