Being stuck in the LA traffic while listening to NPR KPCC can sometime turn a dreadful drive into a sincere moment of joy. I recently heard a full hour on the following topics:
- Pilot changes before going full scale
- Share knowledge so people learn, believe and care
- Reflect on values
- Show respect
- Get connected with people
- Work within people’s comfort zone
- Make sure the benefits outweigh the risks
- Give people the hope of positive changes
- Make people the hero, not the villain
- Ask people to do something they can actually do
- Advance through small changes
- Give immediate feedback
- Remind people they are good for taking action
- Celebrate wins, both big and small
- Don’t forget to have fun
- No silver bullet
Something related to Agile development you might think? Not even close.
This was about a new study on strategies for non-profit organizations to make people act called discovering the activation point (full study here).
Simple and strong principles are applicable everywhere.
