Snippet:

 In Deep Change, which presents new paradigms for leadership in the corporate world, Robert Quinn writes,

  When we see the need for deep change, we usually see it as something that needs to take place in someone else. In our roles of authority, such as parent, teacher, or boss, we are particularly quick to direct others to change. Such directives often fail, and we respond to the resistance by increasing our efforts. The power struggle that follows seldom results in change or brings about excellence. One of the most important insights about the need to bring about deep change in others has to do with where deep change actually starts.

Quinn rightly sees that deep change begins when we face ourselves, taking responsibility for our own lives.
