2m 37sBecause change is ripe with opportunities to fail, people will resist change unless the opportunities to fail are counterbalanced with recognition and reward. Effective leaders help people through change and transition, anticipating people's natural resistance and providing the support to overcome it. It is important to understand how four brain structures, in particular, relate to change. The first, the amygdala, perceives all change as potential danger and drives the more intense emotions of resistance. The entorhinal cortex helps us navigate both physical space and social networks, and is activated if change impacts where people work or who they work with. The basal ganglia is responsible for helping us learn new behaviors and turn them into habits. The habenula tracks when we fail at something and reduces the feel-good chemicals of serotonin and dopamine to motivate us to make different choices in the future. FREE ACCESS
-
2m 20sWhen change initiatives are mapped against these four factors — disruption, acclimation, choice, and desire — it's easier to predict how much resistance there will be to the change. The first factor to assess is how much disruption the change will create. The second factor is the time it will take for people to acclimate to the change. The next consideration is whether those affected chose the change. The final consideration is whether those affected wanted the change. FREE ACCESS

-
3m 16sOur immediate environment, the literal world around us, plays a critical role in our behavior. Color, space, temperature, and elements added to or removed from our environment can each influence how we think, feel, or behave. This is especially true when it comes to our work setting. So, take the time to explore how you interact with your workspace, and then discover you can improve it. FREE ACCESS
-
3m 47sThe need for change is important. It's critical for our survival and has always been a central part of human evolution.

-
3m 53sCollaboration is often the secret to success. And yet, for all the benefits it brings, we sometimes exhibit an innate resistance to collaborating.

FREE ACCESS

3m 18sOur driving force is the thing that motivates us, the thing that underpins and explains so much of our behavior.
