Episode notes

The halo effect and the pig malleant effect are actually interesting. If you go, oh, they're the brightest person I ever know, people are going to look at you kind of where. And so there is this element of saying, hey, if you can promote how smart those people are, how good they are, then translates back to them being good and smart. So that building that family, as Katie talked about, and having your senior people mentor your younger people. It lends itself to building that self identity around those people and to a stronger, more better workplace.

We’re doing things a little differently this week. Instead of discussing Katy Milkman’s research at the end of our interview (Episode 232), we’ve decided to make our Grooving Session a separate episode. We suggest you listen to Katy’s interview first in the previous episode, and then join us here where we discuss how Katy's work will help you find your behavior-changing groove!

In this Grooving Session we will learn to:

Look for the obstacles that are preventing you from adopting new behaviors.
Use the appropriate change technique based on the obstacles that are preventing you from changing.
Give junior people a chance to lead, expect the best, and don’t punish them for failure.
Work on becoming a Flexible Fernando so you don’t give in to the What-The-Hell Effect.
