The Blitz was the period of sustained strategic bombing of the United Kingdom by Nazi Germany during the Second World War. Hitler’s fear of not having control over Britain led to beliefs that Britain would eventually become a base for his enemies to attack him from. When France fell to Germany in 1940‚ Hitler’s aims were turned on Britain. He believed that if he destroyed the RAF Britain would no longer have any defence against an invasion. Hitler also wished to disrupt Britain’s economy and industry

A Sense of Urgency The toughest of the 8-Steps to Leading Change and the most often overlooked is the process of increasing the urgency in an organization for the need for change.
