fast company mention

6 Comments

Both Focu­sed Per­for­mance and gaping­void were men­tio­ned today over at Fast Com­pany for this whole cul­ture vs. tech­no­logy thing:

The res­pec­tive entries — and the com­ments they’ve attrac­ted so far — reso­nate well with the May issue’s cover story: Change or Die. As part of a wide-ranging analy­sis of how peo­ple are wired in terms of change, John Kot­ter, a Har­vard Busi­ness School pro­fes­sor, offers, “The cen­tral issue is never stra­tegy, struc­ture, cul­ture, or sys­tems. The core of the mat­ter is always about chan­ging the beha­vior of people.”

Thanks for the men­tion, Heath.

    As one of my men­tors says: “If you want to change peo­ple, change people.”

    I would take that one step further, Rocks­ter, “If you want to change peo­ple, change your­self first, then peo­ple res­pond to that change in you, thus chan­ging their behaviour.”

    I read an abso­lu­tely fas­ci­na­ting article this mor­ning in Fast Com­pany, Change or Die and wan­ted to share it with Crea­ting Pas­sio­nate Users rea­ders. The article is essen­tially about how change is vital, both per­so­nally and for orga­ni­za­tions from
