Role modelling for change
from Business Problems Solved Podcast · host Lee Houghton
‘If you are expecting the environment to change, the people to change, then the sooner you start role modelling and showing people the way, the sooner change will begin’ Lee shares key strategies to help change agents and leaders implement effective role modelling to drive forward change, listen in to find out more. KEY TAKEAWAYS A role model is defined as a person who is looked to by others as an example to be imitated. Being a role model can help change initiatives whether you are a leader or change agent. Before beginning any change initiative it's vital to think about the end, not just the solution but also the environment you want to create. If you are delivering a change, is there an opportunity for you to display the behaviours that you want others to develop? It's often easier for people to buy into a concept if they can see it working for real. As a change agent, you need to help others to create new habits and the more people repeat a behaviour the more it becomes embedded. If you want things to change the sooner you role model the change the sooner others will begin to change. It's important that you start with yourself. BEST MOMENTS ‘Change starts with you’ ‘Consider the habits you want people to display in the environment’ ‘You have to start somewhere, and people have to be able to see you doing the things you want them to do’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Business Problems Solved Podcast 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.
