Fantastic session with @ZenaEverett1 yesterday on working smarter! My key takeaways:
* it's in your gift to change how you work
* email less & talk more
* do the big things, not the small things
*plan time to avoid distractors
....so much more & already reading the book!
@KatMerchant14 It's so easy for me to say 'try not to let it get to you' when words can really hurt. You're an amazing role model for girls & women on so many different levels. If they can't see that, then I feel sorry for them for more than just their ignorance & judgement. Be you #YouRock

Change fatigue - where an overwhelming number of change initiatives means people feel a sense of exhaustion, passive resistance & apathy toward change - is a growing problem in many organisations. Strategies for leaders:
1) Connect the dots: knit change initiatives together in a meaningful way to show how they're driving key priorities & how different change efforts may augment each other.
2) Truly prioritise: identify key priorities & show the trade-offs that are being made in making these choices.
3) Build and activate a network: engage a broader network of people who support the direction & who will jump in and help.

Being a leader of change means challenging the status quo. This can be tough. People have a "status quo bias". Behavioural economists tell us the fear of what might be lost is twice as strong as the hope of what might be gained. The more we are invested in something, the harder it is to abandon it. Strategies to challenge the status quo:
1) Take time to understand why/how things are as they are currently; be curious.
2) Start small, try out/test new ways of working and take things step by step.
3) Communicate your change vision effectively, backed up by data, framed in a way that resonates with people.
4) Be open to having your own ideas challenged.
5) Celebrate small wins & foster a culture of continuous improvement.

"The courage to start.
The discipline to focus.
The confidence to figure it out.
The patience to know progress is not always visible.
The persistence to keep going, even on the bad days.
That's the formula."
