Maintaining Change Momentum And Limiting Loneliness - Part 2

Lee's latest episode talks about the intricacies of maintaining change momentum and combating loneliness within change management. He shares insights on understanding individual journeys, building belief and trust, leading with connection over tools, and the importance of habits in driving change. Through engaging anecdotes and actionable advice, Lee encourages listeners to embrace the challenges of change management with enthusiasm and purpose.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Understand that everybody is on a journey, including yourself, and recognise where individuals are on their journey to create the right conversation.

• Build belief, confidence, and trust in yourself, the solution, and the organisation to understand and address potential barriers to progress.

• Lead with connection rather than tools to tailor your approach and make it more relatable and effective.

• When creating or breaking habits, focus on the cue and reward, not just the routine, to facilitate lasting change.

• Help individuals move away from pain or towards pleasure, considering the neutral zone as a stepping stone to transition effectively.

BEST MOMENTS

"Lead with connection not with tools because that allows you to tailor your narrative about the tool, the solution, the technique, the thing in a meaningful way and vary your presentation." 

"Don't just focus on the routine and document in the process because if you just create a process and ask people to do it, not everybody will do it." 

"Fundamentally, we're trying to get people to create and have the right motivation, the right reasons for action so that they do the right thing at the right time every time." 

"The toothpaste manufacturers made the reward feel so amazing that everybody then wanted, okay, your teeth are now clean, your mouth feels so fresh." 

"It's not our approach that's broken, it's our approach to change that's broken. And I think just by applying a few different strategies to what we do and how we do it, it can help us overcome some of the challenges that we face today."HOST BIO
