Changing Habits& Influencing Behaviour

CAN YOU CHANGE HABITS AND INFLUENCE BEHAVIOUR?   Listen to this episode and find out how you can change people’s behaviour to create an environment where problems can be successfully be solved. Lee explains how and why this is crucial for any business moving forward.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The majority of problems can be solved by changing people’s behaviour so that they do something today that is different from what they were doing yesterday.   Influencing someone’s behaviour to change what they do in the workplace is an achievable and sustainable way to success. Problems can be solved as a result of people changing their behaviours.   To change a behaviour the brain needs to be trained so the action becomes habitual – you don’t have to think about it.   Visualise the environment you want to have and what people are doing in that environment, then consider what steps you need to create to get people into that position.   You need to influence people’s behaviour to get there through creating daily rituals that become habitual.   To create a situation where people can develop positive habits you will need to ensure that   -Individuals have the knowledge they need and the ability and skills to use that knowledge.   -You provide examples of the particular things you want people to do so they can see it is not a new-behaviour.   -The work environment allows them to exhibit that behaviour. Can they do what you’re asking them to do in that environment?     BEST MOMENTS   ‘The more times you do something, the more it will become habitual’   ‘You need to influence people’s behaviour to get there’   ‘Start small’   ‘Any change is not easy for people, and people deal with change differently’   ‘Every time you ask someone to do something different it will be a challenge’   ‘If you start today by this time next year it will be the norm’   VALUABLE RESOURCES   Business Problems Solved Series   ABOUT THE HOST For the last 15 years, I have been a multi-sector internal or external business improvement consultant, building the improved capability of individuals, teams, and businesses.
