summary

Argues that the core problem is misalignment not lack of practice and quantifies adoption with 2.5% innovators and the usual 13.5 / 34 / 34 / 16 split, showing fear drives uptake. Describes introducing a simple workboard with three columns, avatars and magnets and iterating small experiments like split done into demo'd which creates ownership. Claims small team‑led changes reduce friction and burnout, and gives a concrete example where that board plus incremental tweaks measurably restores flow and morale.
