When your marketplace is hit with radical disruption, does your culture embrace the challenge or does it resist with every ounce of energy available? Disruptive change is not a new phenomenon, and it is certainly not limited to technology. To survive the onslaught, we need to understand the elements of culture that allow some organizations to compete and even prosper, while others simply watch the decline and do nothing, and still others burn valuable energy on resistance.

My story of poorly handled change is not about the mega corporation that failed in their efforts to roll out the all-knowing integrated solution. No, my story is about getting a tee time at the local golf course. For the non-golfers out there, a tee time is an appointment to play nine or eighteen holes of golf for a group of golfers usually four golfers playing together.
