Change Management cues from nature

I was reading an article by David Quammen, a biologist, on migratory behaviors that include - linearity, undistractibility, special start and stop behaviors and stored energy.

Undistractability was one that doesn't necessarily equate to the common change management tools such as vision, communications, and understanding change fatigue etc....

--- During migration, animals will forgo an easy meal in order to stay focused on the end goal which is reaching their destination.

So if you are trying to change something, take note if any distractions are being thrown out there. In thinking of some of my projects, I have a whole new view on those delicious short term gains that are impeding progress.
