Trying to change behavior – Carrot & stick might help..<\/p>\n
Unfortunately most of the time we don’t change until it becomes a necessity (the stick).<\/p>\n
That’s why ‘necessity is the mother of all invention’.<\/p>\n
Recently I’ve been banging about a specific topic with teams for a while, and somehow still struggle to get buy in.<\/p>\n
Once, out of necessity they are being forced to do it and they have no choice, suddenly all the problems are starting to go away.<\/p>\n
Take remote work for example. Pre-coivd some folks were hell bent that remote working cannot work.<\/p>\n
Now that we all are forced to work from home, suddenly those problems don’t feel challenging anymore.<\/p>\n
The ‘stick’ can be many things – a declaration to achieve something, create circumstances to force certain behavior.<\/p>\n
Summary:<\/p>\n
Preaching, explaining, collaborating is all needed to change behavior – but sometimes so is the stick.<\/p>\n
