I’m the opposite. I grew up and learnt to drive in LHT. But even now, 13 years after moving to another country and driving in RHT, when I’m tired I still get in the passenger side or reach for the gearstick and hit the door instead.

So I’d add: make sure you are in the best condition to lead through change, because fatigue has a way of pulling us back to what feels familiar.

That's a great addition. It's fascinating how fatigue resets our default/old behaviour.

Definitely a valid point to keep in mind when implementing important changes: to be in the best possible state.

Thank You, Juliet!

Love this framing, Michał - driving on the “wrong” side is such a vivid way to teach change management. Also, thank you for the shoutout!
