Organisations are designed to produce specific, repeatable processes through specialised roles, norms, & behaviours. When we start working in a new organisation, we learn the social cues to start conforming & fitting in.
It's why, when we set out to lead change, we're likely to find resistance. All of those subtle forces built up over time are designed to support existing behaviours & norms. For large scale change, we need to shift from a "manager mindset" rooted in the status quo, to a "changemaker mindset" that can move things in a different direction. Three shifts are needed:
1) From building consensus to building coalition: build a smaller coalition of people who are already enthusiastic about change & can begin to build new norms & expectations
2) From working in an atmosphere of predictability to one of uncertainty: we won't know if things will work until we've tried them - expect them to go wrong & leave room for testing & error
3) From a focus on implementation to exploration: if we don't explore, we won't find better ways of doing things - or better things to do
We need both a manager & a changemaker mindset. We have to be able to mode shift between them:

Did you know? Regular foot checks can help detect early signs of foot problems. Look for changes in skin colour, skin texture and appearance. Early detection of issues means better outcomes.

A routine is "a sequence of actions performed as part of a regular procedure rather than for a special reason". When something is "routine", it can be perceived as dull, mechanistic, crushing creativity & agency. Yet something we see often in high performing organisations is that they build routines for innovation & improvement into their daily work. These include:
1) learning & sharing routines such as huddles, retrospectives and peer-assists
2) innovation & improvement routines such as building capability in change methods & intensive problem-solving sessions
3) leadership routines, such as regular feedback & coaching & "leadership walks" to the point of care.
Routines make improvement & learning into everyone's business. Graphic via @ScholarshipfPhd
Choose curiosity over judgment,
compassion over shame,
and courage over comfort.
When you choose emotional agility, you create a life in which your reality matches your intentions.
✨ Reflecting on some recent conversations…
