Agility – How do we do it?

Change changed. Remember those lazy hazy days of the ‘change programme’? In an intellect economy: your people are the change.

So, now we build a culture that is ‘agile’. Fit for constant – and fast – change. This involves every individual being able and willing to take effective, bold decisions and act – with no guarantee of success: uncertainty.

Join Change Architect and CEO of Symmetry.inc, Jim Lawless, on June 24 for this one-hour MasterClass, where he will explain how you can make this leap within an exec team or across a global organisation.

Date: June 24
Time: 1500 BST (1 hour)

Getting You on Their Side

I have discovered, teaching Symmetry.inc’s INSPIRE! programme, that a few simple concepts consistently provide the greatest breakthroughs for our leaders. At number one on this list is:
- If you want your people to be bold and take risks, you have to get you on their side.

Yes, you read that right. Not ‘get them on your side’. That’s old school. You need to get you on their side.

Now, first up, why would you want people to be ‘bold’?

Who enjoys receiving feedback at work?

When we receive feedback, our chemistry changes, our emotions can light up, we want to fight, take flight, freeze, or appease. You can probably relate to that feeling too. You know what it feels like and how receptive to advice you are (not very) when your emotions are alight and you are working from your ancient limbic system and feeling vulnerable.

What about you, as a leader or manager, giving your team members feedback?

The very last thing you want is to light up the emotions of your team members and have them move into the limbic system when you are coaching them or giving feedback. You do not want their Tiger to Roar. But you do want them to hear what you have to say.

In the INSPIRE! Course, we give you the tools to take a fresh approach to ensure you can give feedback that your team member is receptive to and wants to receive.

We call this ‘Green-Lit Feedback’ and the results are incredibly powerful, as José explains in his feedback to us.

The next INSPIRE! Course starts on April 15 and you can find out more and reserve your place using the link in the comments.

Have you ever been told you should “leave your comfort zone”?

Have you ever thought to yourself, “I should leave my comfort zone”?

Do you have any idea what this place—the place outside your comfort zone—is called?

Were you ever taught at school what the place outside the comfort zone was called, even when your well-meaning teachers suggested you should leave it?

We learn so little about the process of change that I describe in my book, Taming Tigers.

Some writers have named the place outside the comfort zone the Growth Zone. This is cute. And it’s true. But not at all helpful, in my view.

I call it the Ugly Zone.

You may well be growing out there. But that does not prepare you for the emotions that will come when you are far from home and all alone. Because change happens, essentially from our home base and all alone inside, with just the harsh reflection of the mirror for company.

People have told me that’s not a good name. People have told me that I need to make it sound positive. But I think we need to know what to expect en route to a positive outcome.

I feel ugly emotions out there. Because I feel as though I look uncool, unsure, and incompetent—a little ugly. I feel like the wheels may come off. I feel like I may fail, which has consequences for me and for my children. And I don’t like feeling or looking ugly. I don’t like hard consequences. So, I want to avoid this zone.

And I guess you and your team members do too.

But I’m also guessing that you want to grow, do great things, and be able to help your team members connect with their desire and power to do so too.

If we are going to deliver transformation and high-performance, we are going to enter the Ugly Zone. And when we are in the Ugly Zone, we want to come home to the pretty zone. The comfort zone.

Therefore, we must COMMIT to crossing the Ugly Zone and getting to the even better comfort zone beyond.

If you have a team of people who have truly committed, you are in a very powerful position to deliver change.

This week, our January INSPIRE! Course students are learning how to do exactly this.

RIP: The Change Curve

Thirty years ago, we left behind most of the things that seemed like a good idea in the eighties – but probably weren’t: the avocado bathroom suite, Kajagoogoo and the Ford Sierra. But somehow ‘The Change Curve’ clung on. Today I’ll try to kill it off.
