I often talk about the ability to adjust the environment as a key skill for leaders… and by this I mean small L leaders, not just those who have a formal position.  When you can adjust the environment, you can make work and collaboration more effective.. without waiting for someone who has power to act or give permission. In this episode, I’m going to break down what I mean about environment and give you some examples of how small changes made a big difference.

When leaders decided to make a change, they hope it will improve performance. But, while it may do so, there’s almost always a dip. Maybe a small dip, but sometimes a large one. When that happens, the first impulse is to make another change. And then you’ve got churn.Sorry this episode is late!  I had a bad cold and wasn't up to recording.   Visit my website www.estherderby.com. Sign up for my newsletter to receive information about workshops, online classes, and more.7 Rules for Positive Productive Change is available on Barnes and Noble, Amazon, or from the publisher.

Why don’t ppl want to change?   I hear this question a lot.  The assumption behind the question is clear: the impediments to change exist within people. But there's often friction in the context....situations that counter-motivate change.  I find it more useful to ask: "How to reduce the friction for people to change?"I'll talk about some of the sources of friction, and what you can do about them, in this episode.For more on the adoption of antiseptic practices (ad other really interesting ideas about change, see Slow Ideas, by Atul Gawande.  Visit my website www.estherderby.com. Sign up for my newsletter to receive information about workshops, online classes, and more.7 Rules for Positive Productive Change is available on Barnes and Noble, Amazon, or from the publisher.
