We live with change. The losing sports team makes changes to become
a winning team through the consistent and persistent application of
proven principles applied pragmatically. The sports team trains
differently, skills up, varies the plays and nurtures the players,
brings new leadership, and takes time to resolve issues. The
winning team comes from the emergent behavior of empowered
emotional individuals who have ownership. They have pride in who
they are and what they do and are prepared to do things
differently, because their interests and values are aligned. The
leadership works best when they are the change they wished to see
and treated others as they themselves would be treated. Similarly,
with COVID-19, where the environment was changed, behaviors were
instilled, and outcomes were achieved. Having people want to do
things differently was key to containing and living with COVID-19.
Both the sports team and COVID-19 show how sustainable change is
achieved. These same principles apply to the adoption and adaption
of businesses to change whether it is driven by technology, cost
savings, or regulatory. Sustainable change comes through having
people do things differently and an overarching approach for
crafting and shaping the required emergent behaviors is included
within this book. A hands-on approach "fixing the pipes and helping
people" is also provided within this book to enable the emotional
empowered ownership required for change to support "I do Good Work,
Change is Coming, Help Me with the Change, and I can do More".
