-: If you ask a CEO, a chief transformation officer,
someone leading an initiative as part of a transformation,
"How's the team doing right now?"
You more or less hear the same thing:
People are tired.
(light upbeat music)
It is true that some people in your organization are tired,
overworked, overburdened,
but it's not true that everyone in your organization
is tired, overworked, and overburdened.
And what a leader needs is a real-time
or close-to-real-time tool
to be able to decompose the organization.
To really quickly answer the question,
"How is the organization really doing right now?
How is this team really doing right now?
What are the emotions that they are experiencing,
highs and lows, this week?
How much self-efficacy, how much belief in theirselves
and their ability to change do they experience?
And how much capacity, how much bandwidth,
both mental and actual resources does this team have?"
Once you are able to do that, then a whole new set
of interventions open up to you.
Fortunately, we've developed just such that tool.
It's an assessment that takes about 70 seconds.
And think about it like a video game
that people can quickly play that immediately gives
that individual a real-time
behaviorally informed prescription for how to respond
to their situation,
and gives leaders a full view
into the experience of the organization.
What transformation leaders need to be able to do right now
is get away from the myth that an organization is tired
and need to be able to answer the question,
"How is my team doing right now?
How is this person doing right now?"
And use the science of behavior change to intervene,
real time, to be able to move people from a place
where their confidence is low, where their capacity is low,
their bandwidth is low,
to an expectation that they can do whatever they believe.
That they are part of a heroic mission
and they have control over how that mission will unfold.
It's only then that a practice of changing,
not a management of change, takes place
inside an organization.
It's there that you can start to build
the renewable stores of hope that will power
your transformation through to the end.
