Change My Habits

Listen Later

“It’s a #mindset.” Is it though? 

Do old #habits really die hard, or are we dying each day with them? 

Let’s think about the #narrative we tell ourselves in the perpetual struggle to form new habits and the struggle to break bad ones. 

  • “I’ll do better tomorrow. Today is not the day.” 
  • “I’ll do better next month. This month was a lot.” 
  • “I’ll do better next year. This year was just too much.” 

    • Our habits and behaviors are tied to how we identify ourselves each day and it is when we confront our #identity, we begin to see significant #change in who we want to become. It all starts with our #choices. 

    So, what about a living #system of individuals carrying habits and behaviors that represent the identity of a corporation? Let’s dig deeper. 

    • Is the identity of an Agile team the sum of its team members or an identity that is #enforced on them by the company? 
    • What are the habits and behaviors of an #Agile team that is learning together vs. not learning together? 
    • If old habits die hard for an individual, how hard is it for an Agile team of individuals to form new habits or break old ones? 
    • How often are the habits and behaviors of an Agile team a representation of its identity or a response to the #ecosystem it lives in? 
    • What are the habits and behaviors of a company that is #dysfunctional vs. #dynamic? 
    • What do the habits and behaviors of a company tell us about their organizational design? 
    • If no single individual or entity within a company is holding you #accountable to a specific change, how likely are you to relapse into old habits of an organizational structure that didn’t get updated? 
    • What are habits and behaviors of a company that is #learning vs. a company repeating the same routines hoping for a different #outcome? 
    • If old habits die hard for an individual, how hard is it for a company of individuals to form new habits and break old ones? 
    • If a company has simply changed its #strategy, its #people, without changing its #financial structures, #incentive structures, or #operational processes, can the habits of company that’s been thriving on waste truly evolve or be held prisoner of an unchanged system? 

      • If dysfunctional patterns of habits and behaviors are evident #signals alone, are companies willing to confront their identity crisis to welcome positive change, when it’s hard enough to do as an individual? 🔥 

      Find out with the return of guest speaker David A. Brown and newest guest speakers Jennifer Burkle, and Kristina Stroud as we uncover mental models, where our habits come from, and what the possibilities could be.
