Unfortunately not. One of the thing he reflects now on: Too much change kills the change. However unhappy we are in the present situation, one should still discern the underlying happiness present in every kind of situation. Change does not mean change it all, change at all, it does mean understand and misbehave appropriately in order to differentiate.
What the point in everyone acting common? In his brief career, he was under route 06 then 08, then vision 2012 then scope 2020. Time to focus on months and days and no longer on years. A change program acts only if change is accepted all along the way, a story of quick wins, a novel on long term goals, a communication on nothing that fills the everything.
