We have to be the new to make the change.
We have to build the new to make the change. We have to tell the story of the new in the new way to make the change. When enough us of live it, do it and have told the story, the world will change.
Harold Jarche pointed me to this excellent article by Peter Bregman that says the same thing is a very different language. Snip:
To start a culture change all we need to do is two simple things:
- Do dramatic story-worthy things that represent the culture we want to create. Then let other people tell stories about it.
- Find other people who do story-worthy things that represent the culture we want to create. Then tell stories about them.
if you want managers and employees to communicate more effectively,
stop checking your computer in the middle of a conversation every time
the new message sound beeps. Instead, put your computer to sleep when
they walk in your office.
We can change our stories and be changed
