• Many people have a level of awareness about a situation
and take considerable time before taking responsibility
and moving to acceptance
• If you don’t have awareness of this model you may find
yourself in situations where you’re pushing for a decision
or sustained action and your team still haven’t accepted
that they’re responsible for the outcome
• If you use this model you can take your level of human
influence to the next level by applying the right focus at
the right time
