In this episode, Jonathan answers the Unify question: by when must they act? What begins as a question of timing becomes a deeper reflection on momentum, resistance, emotional response, credible commitment, and the leader’s responsibility to set the pace. Marianne and Jonathan examine how meaningful change begins to move when people feel why it matters, understand what is being asked of them, and are given a way to act.
