Organizations often speak of transformations, especially of the digital kind. But there is an Olympic Judo medalist who has gone further and tried to conjure up a transformation in some of the most backward parts of Rio de Janeiro.

His Reaction Institute is reaching out to the poorest and trying to wean them off street violence. Leaders must know that the only way to win always is to completely avoid risk. But this leads to stagnation in ideas. These leaders must also constantly be going through more of management training, either formally or through informal means. Connections need to be established with others in the chain. This sort of training can be a force for good.
