Managewich Tips: Tired of Participating in the 80% of Change Initiatives That Fail?

Author Change is hard… or is it?
Think about a time when change was easy. What made it easy?
For me, a good example to illustrate how change does and doesn’t work is recycling.
At first, to recycle, we had to separate cans, glass and paper, and we had to sort through the plastics for the ones that could be recycled. There was a special, thinner, less sturdy bag that we had to use. We had to take it to the recycling center ourselves. I quit somewhere in the middle of the first bag of cans.

Tips For the Managewich: Don’t Kick the Dog
Ever had that experience where your manager got reamed by a customer, peer or her manager and then turned around and took it out on you? It gets the expression “kicking the dog” because it’s basically taking out frustration on the defenseless.
Those of us who aren’t that resilient have known for a while that this is a derailer of productivity and a behavior that is predictive of mediocrity because we’ve sat in our little neutrally colored cubicles and stewed about the unfairness of it and wasted time reviewing what we should have said or done differently.
