Listeners should look for the roadblocks to behavior change and identify those before they start trying to implement techniques. Make sure that you're not just putting all of your eggs in one basket, as Kurt Lewin says. Flexible Fernando versus Rigid Rachel is a topic we'll talk about later on this show.
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.
