From the Paper:
"The authors stress that it is not easy or straightforward to make organizational change by changing mindsets. A company should not attempt do reach this level of change without first trying less disruptive options for attaining desired outcomes. For example, tactical moves may be enough, or the introduction of new practices. Most important, however, can be people development through training or workshops. Workshops that draw on transpersonal psychology can speed up cultural change and make it more lasting. Employees will not put sustained effort into a new kind of behavior when only having rational understanding of why it matters to the company; it must mean something much deeper to them and have an effect on their personal growth."Sample of Sources Used:
