Why? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419923872 2019-12-04 20:37:16 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419923872 If a successful change requires a translation of ambiguous goals into concrete behaviors, how might we need to script the critical moves for our client districts? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419924102 2019-12-04 20:37:47 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419924102 What are the attributes of someone who is ready to lead a "Switch"? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419924605 2019-12-04 20:38:43 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419924605 The Elephant: Part of the challenge of change is that we may intellectually decide to change (telling ourselves that eating more healthy foods is a good thing) but we don’t connect that change with a feeling that engages the Elephant. Can you think of a way to connect a change you would like to make for the Center for Leadership with with a feeling that can help to motivate the Elephant side of the brain? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419925891 2019-12-04 20:41:11 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419925891 Can you think of situations where we try to get people to change with information, rather than with feeling? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419926352 2019-12-04 20:42:16 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419926352 When describing a compelling destination, we help to correct one of the Rider's great weaknesses - the tendency to get lost in analysis. What are some examples of how this has been desplayed in the ESC and/or Center for Leadership? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419926568 2019-12-04 20:42:44 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419926568 Why did the author indicate that you can't bank on SMART goals when trying to reach the "Elephant"? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419927464 2019-12-04 20:44:28 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419927464 The Elephant: One suggestion for overcoming our natural inertia is to shrink the change. If you want to start an exercise program, you might start by simply getting yourself to the gym and stretching or working out for 5 to 10 minutes.Can you think of a way to shrink the change for something that we need to SWITCH in the Center for Leadership and/or ESC? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419927974 2019-12-04 20:45:40 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419927974 The Rider’s strengths are substantial, and his/her flaws can be mitigated. How can we appeal to the Rider inside yourself or inside others you are trying to influence? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419928567 2019-12-04 20:46:58 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419928567 How do we prepare the Rider to lead a switch with sometimes formidable partners, the Elephants? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419929121 2019-12-04 20:48:05 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419929121 In one study, John Kotter and Dan Cohen observed that, in almost all successful change efforts, the sequence of change is not ANALYZE-THINK-CHANGE, but rather SEE-FEEL-CHANGE. Give an example that you have experienced for each sequence. marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419929997 2019-12-04 20:50:03 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419929997 The author suggests that to solve bigger, more ambiguous problems, we need to encourage open minds, creativity, and hope. In what ways do we do this in the Center for Leadership? In what ways do we need to redefine our work? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419930585 2019-12-04 20:51:08 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419930585 How might we motivate action to accomplish a SWITCH at the ESC? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419932325 2019-12-04 20:54:10 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419932325 What does the author mean when he talks about "engineering hope"? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419932718 2019-12-04 20:54:54 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419932718 The value of the "miracle scale" is that it focuses attention on small milestones that are attainable and visible rather than on the eventual destination, which may seem very remote. What do we have to do to set small, visible goals so that people start to believe start to get it into their heads that they can succeed? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419933170 2019-12-04 20:55:48 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419933170 Psychologist Karl Weick, in a paper called “Small Wins: Redefining the Scale of Social Problems,” said, “A small win reduces importance (‘this is no big deal’), reduces demands (‘that’s all that needs to be done’), and raises perceived skill levels (‘I can do at least that’).” What do we need to keep doing in the Center for Leadership? What do we need to stop doing? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419934548 2019-12-04 20:58:28 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419934548 What is the selection criteria for "small wins"? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419934996 2019-12-04 20:59:22 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419934996 James March, a professor of political science at Stanford University, says that when people make choices, they tend to rely on one of two basic models of decision making. What are the two models? Give an example of each from the Center for Leadership and/or the ESC. marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419936074 2019-12-04 21:01:27 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419936074 The Elephant: Think about the idea of “identity” from Chapter 7. How would you describe the identity of the Center for Leadership? How would you describe the identity of the ESC? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419937104 2019-12-04 21:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419937104 Imagine that you had to convince one of these groups to recycle more, or to volunteer more time, or to tutor elementary-school kids. How might you appeal to their identity as a way of motivating their Elephants? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419937585 2019-12-04 21:05:06 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419937585 Rosabeth Moss Kanter said that "Everything can look like a failure in the middle." What does this mean? How do you keep the Elephant motivated when it faces a long, treacerous road? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419937819 2019-12-04 21:05:46 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419937819 What is the relationship between a person's self image and their willingness to change behavior? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419938428 2019-12-04 21:07:13 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419938428 When looking at the "identity model" what are the three questions that we essentially ask ourselves and why are they important? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419938868 2019-12-04 21:08:17 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419938868 How is the concept of "rapid fail" integrated into "growth mindest"? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419939127 2019-12-04 21:08:51 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419939127 The Path: Think back over your day. In how many ways did yourenvironment shape your behavior? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419940087 2019-12-04 21:11:34 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419940087 Knowing that the environment shapes our behavior, how can you consciously shape your school's environment so that it’s easier tomake the changes you desire? What Amazon 1-click-style tweaks can you create to make your goals just a little bit easier to carry out? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419940158 2019-12-04 21:11:46 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419940158 The author indicated that if you want people to change, you can provide clear direction (Rider) or boost their motivation and determination (Elephant). Alternatively, you can simply make the journey easier. Create a steep downhill slope and give them a push. Remove some friction from the trail. Scatter around lots of signs to tell them they’re getting close. In short, you can shape the path. How might we "shape the path" for the Center for Achievement even if the rest of the organization isn't quite ready for the SWITCH? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419940464 2019-12-04 21:12:30 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419940464 Tweaking the environment is about making the right behaviors a little bit easier and the wrong behaviors a little bit harder. This seams pretty straightforward, but hard to implement. Describe a situation where you "tweaked the environment." marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419941203 2019-12-04 21:14:12 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419941203 The Path: Look at the examples of the Rackspace customer servicedepartment (In Chapter 8), or how Bart Millar changed the high school student’s behavior. Was there ever asituation where you attributed some problem to someone’s “character” when you found out later it was a problem with the environment? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419941964 What kind of environment might have eliminated the person’s “character problem”? ]]> 2019-12-04 21:15:53 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419941964 A good change leader never thinks, “Why are these people acting so badly? They must be bad people.” A change leader thinks, “How can I set up a situation that brings out the good in these people?” Describe a situation where you experienced one or both scenarios. marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419943434 2019-12-04 21:18:52 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419943434 There’s a tool that perfectly combines tweaking the environment and building habits. It’s something that can be added to the environment in order to make the behavior more consistent and habitual. That tool is the "humble checklist." What are the advantages of having a checklist like what was described? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419943766 2019-12-04 21:19:45 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419943766 What is an "implementation intention"?

All of the sudden, people were moving and student benefits were gained as a result of structures and strategies implemented in our school. What were the actions that led to the "snowball effect"? Was it really all of a sudden? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419945634 2019-12-04 21:23:38 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419945634 Have you experienced times when a seemingly small act led to big change? How should we think about habits and the "snowball effect" in the Center for Leadership? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419946093 2019-12-04 21:24:49 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419946093 A good change leader never thinks, “Why are these people acting so badly? They must be bad people.” What does a change leader think in the same situation? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419946544 2019-12-04 21:25:54 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419946544 The Path: Do you have a “herd” at the ESC or in our member districts that you have to rally? Is there a “free space” that you can create to bring together the people who want to change? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419947059 2019-12-04 21:27:21 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419947059 The author indicates that if you want to change things, you have to pay close attention to social signals, because they can either guarantee a change effort or doom it. How have social signals impacted our work at the ESC? In the Center for Leadership? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419947278 2019-12-04 21:27:56 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419947278 A long journey starts with a single step, but a single step doesn’t guarantee the long journey.

What does this mean? What are some examples that you've experienced while working at the ESC? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419948851 2019-12-04 21:32:23 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419948851 People don’t like to act in one way and think in another. So once a small step has been taken, and people have begun to act in a new way, it will be increasingly difficult for them to dislike the way they’re acting. How does that impact our work with the Center for Achievement? marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419949358 2019-12-04 21:33:48 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/419949358 Short Video to Preview the Chapter! marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/479028600 2020-03-27 18:58:57 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/479028600 If you want different outcomes, change the system... marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/479037936 2020-03-27 19:06:25 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/479037936 Scripting the Critical Moves marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/479044043 2020-03-27 19:11:20 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/479044043 Find the Feeling... marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/479060551 2020-03-27 19:25:20 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/479060551 Build peaks, don't fix potholes! marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/479064048 2020-03-27 19:28:20 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/479064048 Rally the Herd... marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/479065790 2020-03-27 19:29:56 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/479065790 marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/479070273 2020-03-27 19:33:53 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/479070273 Here is a review! marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/479086372 2020-03-27 19:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/479086372 Start with this! marcy_raymond https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/479330543 This video explains how to use the padlet and the instructions for entering your great thoughts and ideas.]]> 2020-03-28 02:12:38 UTC https://padlet.com/marcy_raymond/qu5el63bwh3u/wish/479330543
