4 Rules Of C h a n g e

1. Organizations Don't Change, People In Organizations Change.

2. People Will ChangeIf They See A Personal Benefit In Changing.

3. If You Change Then Others May Change Their Behavior.

4. Top Management Is Not The Most Important Change Agent, Middle Managers Are The Most Important Change Agent.The Single Most Important Determinant Of Individual Performance Is A Person's Relationship With His Manager.

We’re Led Down “The Path”?

Always Working For Other People Our Supervisors Our Managers Our Organization

AFFECTING THE ATMOSPHERE AROUND YOU

15

We’re Led Down The Path”?

Always Being Directed What To Do & How To Do Things

Being in a trap without knowing it

16

Always Being Influenced By OthersNot consciously influencing others

Hopefully Being Protected By Our Supervisors, Our Managers,

We’re Led Down The Path?

17

WHEN DO WE . . . . . REALIZE & STOP

• REALIZE we’re grown up, able to lead & influence?• STOP depending on others to lead & influence?

WHEN ARE YOU . . . . . THE ONE

• The one to lead and influence?• The one to protect others?

WHEN WILL YOU . . . . . BE THE ONE

When????

18

What am I talking about?

EXAMPLE 1

WHEN LEADERS THAT LEAD, DIRECT, PROTECT, AND INFLUENCE,

RETIRE OR MOVE ON.

How is the atmosphere affected?

> When someone takes a leader’s place…..

How is the atmosphere affected?

> When the cycle of personnel change continues…..

How is the atmosphere affected?

MY EXPERIENCE….

19

MY EXPERIENCE….

• Leaders Retired. I and others remained.

Change continued. New leaders came and went.

• I RECOGNIZED THAT Those who were with us started something that I liked.

They created an atmosphere that I was able to fit into.

NOW, THEY WERE GONE.

It Was Up To Me And Those Around Me

To Affect The Atmosphere Around Us.

20

MY EXPERIENCE….

I told my co-workers:

The atmosphere was

not being provided for us

as it was.

We now had to provide the atmosphere.

21

When Things C h a n g e

Who will pick up THE MANTLE of what was established by those gone

by ?

THE MANTLE of Affecting The Atmosphere You Are

In

To make the atmosphere

what it should be and could be?

22

What Can You Do?

Example 1Sharing Someone Else’s Experience

“A story”

“A personal experience”how relationships

can change an atmosphere and events.

23

YOUR INFLUENCE

• DOT’S PART TIME JOB at CRACKER BARRELL

A story about employee recognition

WHEN THINGS STAY THE SAME

• WE MAINTAIN TRADITIONAL PRACTICES Whether Good Or Bad.

• Times when…..

Maintaining Traditional Practices are GOOD.

• Times when…..

Maintaining Traditional Practices are BAD.

Tradition may limit learning & progress.

29

WHEN THINGS STAY THE SAME

• You’ll always BE where you’ve always BEENIf you always GO where you’ve always GONE

Not going places you’ve never beenThat’s going in circles

• You’ll always BE where you’ve always BEENIf you always DO what you’ve always DONE

HabitsDoing the same things over and overNot trying new things or new ways

30

WHEN THINGS STAY THE SAME

You’ll always KNOW whom you’ve always KNOWN

If you’re always WITH whom you’ve always been WITH

That’s a closed circle of acquaintances

That’s not meeting new people

Tradition can make “THE TRUTH” to be “UNHEARD”.

“We’ve always done it that way.”

We miss profits and easier ways of doing things.

We miss the relationships that can happen.

We miss new experiences.

We miss success.

31

When Things C h a n g e

CHANGE HAS MANY POSITIVE BENEFITS

LEARNING & GROWING

TRYING SOMETHING NEW RESULTS IN: Meeting Someone New Going Somewhere You’ve Never Been New Relationships when you say something different

to someone you already know Doing Something You’ve Never Done Reading A Type Of Book that you’ve never read

before can launch you to new things Going To A Conference Type that you’ve never been

to before can launch you to new things
