Слайд 3Consequences of mismanaging change
Слайд 4Individual change
Organizational change ultimately comes to life one person at
a time. Said another way, the individual is the unit
of change.

What science has proved that doesn’t work?
What’s the difference
between mechanical and creative skills?
What are the three main
elements for motivation?
Give me examples of autonomy and comparisons that have been made in the video between former and new management rules
Слайд 6Motivation video
Autonomy: the urge to direct our own lifes
Mastery: the
desire to get better at something that matters
Purpose: service of
something larger than ourselves
Слайд 7Increase urgency
Without enough urgency, it is like pushing a gigantic
boulder up a very tall mountain
Getting the bosses´approval
Objective: same software
system for all procurement processes, in Birmingham or Buffalo (reduce economies of scale)
Executive Committee agreed without further discussion (articles, graphs, charts, etc. were sent). Only some questions: Who else has used this software?)
Once implementation started…number of phone calls in the divisions: “ how long is this going to take? The cost v. benefits is not good…
Cause: Divisions had too many people who continue to run their business as usual…they had always required five signatures to approve a purchase
Слайд 8Increase urgency
Resistances were not taken into account
Trying to overcome complacency
driven by false pride or arrogance
immobilization, self-protection driven by fear
you
can’t make me move driven by anger
pessimism that leds to hesitation
cynism
Слайд 9Increasing urgency
The videotape of the angry customer
Problem: an important client
said that he had to make alteration to the product
after receiving a shipment. He claimed but employees don’t listen to what he says
Record what he was saying
Some defensive attitude: “He does not understand”. Employees were experts, skilled craftsmen. The professionals…
Some are surprised, leave fals pride “we gotta do something”
Start looking for problems
Discussioin on how to solve the problems, more listening to customers, more open to change, etc.
Слайд 10Increasing urgency
Key elements:
A real problem from the customer point of
view
Information that hits the emotions/ concrete, dramatic and visual (not
intangible data such as 7.2 % of the customers)
The emotion of large number of people (not only the management team)
Opportunity to reduce false pride without the intervention of an angry manager (you idiots!)
Inexpensive
Safe context…not “who is responsible for this mess?”
Not start creating a vision before motivation/ urgency. Good visions are difficult to create.
Also in cases of crisis, when th house is burning down, first try to fix problems, …. “the last thing we need now is a vision”. Fix the problems first and if you want start a discussion about how to avoid these problems in the future.

QUESTIONS
Socratic question: the intention to help the other
The goal
is not to obtain information, but that coachee realizes what
he knows, define himself/herself, etc.
Effective questions
“which would be the consecuences of this actions?”; Which advise would you give to a friend in your situation? What can you win or lose doing this? Which is the central point? What question would you pose to yourself?
Clarifications
What do you mean when you say…?
Can you give me an example?
Слайд 12Coaching resources
Assumptions
What are you assuming when you say?
I believe
that your arguments are based in the idea that….
Is it
always this way? Why are you assuming this?
Evidences and why
Can you explain me your arguments for this?
What would you say to somebody that states this?
Who is in the position to know this?
Perspectives
Is there any other alternative?
Is there any other way to see it?

FEEDBACK
Feedback has power in itself, it is the first
impression. As more feedback, more improvement…As more specific…better
Personal critizism
You are
slow, not creative, etc. (it affects self esteem, without possibility for change)
Evaluation: The letter is not well written; the graphs is not understandable (it does not give possibility for change)
Statement: The data from this report is not right (it opens the possibility of change, but only from the perspective of the one that gives feedback)
Слайд 14Coaching resources
FEEDBACK
Single question: What do you think about this? (it
gives autonomy but short answers. Not enough exploration)
Constructive description: Which
is the goal? How to reach it? Is there any other way to do it? (It gives power to change from his/her perspective
