Change
William Bridges started his seminal research on change focusing on career changes but he has deepened the work over the decades to create an incredible compass for navigating personal change of all kinds. I learn something every time I open this book.
Neuroscience- David Rock coined the term Neuroscience, looking at the connection between brain chemistry and our behaviors. His SCARF model is truly game changing since it addresses how we perceive rewards and threats in our environment.
Great methodology on how to make deep change happen vs. just busywork masquerading as change. The authors have four archetypes to help think about different ways to lead and they weave the fundamental need for mindfulness throughout their approach.
Timothy Clark describes an easy 4 step model on how to think about change. I especially like the focus on energy transfer to get a change started and then how it evolves over the course of an initiative.
If you are wondering why change is so hard, Kagan and Lahey’s groundbreaking work is for you. They show how we often hold beliefs that work against the changes we say we want and then offer a methodology to work through them to accomplish our aspirations.
