This week we continue our exploration of fatalism's impact on change in organizations (listen to Part 1 in SPaMCAST 745). Fatalism does not have to be permanent. How that transition away from fatalism can be made varies depending on context. In this installment of the series, we will look at a few approaches to tackling this problem. We also have a visit from Jon M Quigley. Jon and I discussed succession planning and why planning needs to be more diverse to support organizational health. Re-read Saturday News! This week we re-read Chapter 20 of Extraordinary Badass Agile Coaching: The Journey from Beginner to Mastery and Beyond. Bob notes that Stephen Covey's seventh habit in his classic, Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, is sharpening the saw. This is a reminder that who and where we are today can't be who or where we are tomorrow. This habit is a prescription for balanced self-renewal. This is the last chapter of Extraordinary Badass; next week we will discuss the afterword and final thoughts.
