On Change
CHARLES F. KETTERING Said, Change “is a high hat word that scares a lot of people”
3
Near the end of the 15th century BC, a Greek Philosopher Heraclitus pointed out , " You can not step twice into the same river”
For Heraclitus, change was a fundamental constant in a way he conceived the world.
4
If we accept this account, it is not surprising that we see change as fundamental to our definition as human beings. We change along with the world around us.
5
It is common and to a certain extent human beings resist change. Most people have a tendency for nesting. That is being contented . Arranging life around us to make it comfortable place we can. Then we try to dwell it in that comforting place
Comfort Zone
6
We fight change with all our strength because in our mind change will shake our nest and consequently make our life uncomfortable
7
The problem with keeping things the same is that we not only fight against change, we also fight against improvement. In fact, there is no improvement without change. In order for something to get better, some changes need to occur
8
But should we welcome change?
The answer depends on what we mean by word WELCOME, if the answer is clearly YES, we are ready to leave our comfort zone. . .

There are several key aspects welcoming change:
a. Graciousness and openness to difference
b. A welcoming attitude towards change requires listening and making the strange familiar
13
c. Respect for diversity. It recognizes that no one individual has the source of all knowledge and that every individual possesses knowledge no one else has. Thus, diversity becomes a resource for growth and not a problem to overcome
14
d. Humility: a welcoming attitude incorporates a strong dose of humility as well. Rather than emphasizing he accumulation of knowledge and skills, it assumes a continual incompleteness in knowledge and skills
15
e. Growth through overcoming difficulties. In welcoming change, we seek to discover new connections, new possibilities.
16
f. When experience are negative. We move on. Mistakes are our learning points. If you make mistakes don’t pass the blame. Avoid blame casting. Successful entrepreneurs learn from their mistakes.
17
Nelson Mandela of South Africa said: “The greatest glory of living lies in never failing but in rising every time you fall”

g. Welcome any suggestions or comments that could help your organization move up further. Get ideas from everywhere

The irony is that the fixed mindset person ends up sabotaging himself because his fixed mindset world view also makes it difficult for him to take risks, or to develop his abilities, in other words, to grow.
The fixed mindset person doesn't, after all, believe in growth. As a result fixed mindset people become quite frustrated.
Fixed Mindset

Prof. Dweck definition of success for a person with a growth mindset - is growth and improvement. Have I improved? Am I doing better today than yesterday? These are the questions a growth mindset uses to evaluate performance.
If I have improved then I am a success. If I have not improved then I need to change the way I'm studying, or practicing or preparing.
Growth Mindset

Making the Switch
Attitude is a SMALL thing but makes a BIG difference
26
“Change will not come in one fell swoop. It will be built on a daily basis with the sacrifices and unselfish acts of each one of us. Even simple acts of self discipline go a long way,”
27
Getting people to change is a slow process particularly if some aspects of their life style need to be curtailed, but gradually they will come on board if the change process is managed properly.

Change is a slow processFruit always matures and ripens

Managers to develop an appropriate culture. New employees will not be aware of the culture and this may lead to people not 'fitting in' and not operating effectively.
Managers must be aware of the culture and attempt to modify it if it is not appropriate for the success of the organization
33
Induction training must make new employees aware of the culture. Culture is not a visible management system to be designed but it is something that evolves in an organization over a period of time and is influenced by the attitudes of its senior members..

“it has been said that people can be placed
in three classes, the MANY who watch things
happen classes; the FEW who makes things
happen and The OVERWHELMING MAJORITY
who have no idea what has happened.”
