23. On Change pt. 2
Manage episode 359882001 series 3232323
In this episode, I discuss the concept of changing other people. I share the advice my mother gave me, stating that we cannot change others, but we can change the way we interact with them. Emphasising again that we can only change the intersection of our relationship with someone else.
I introduce the concept of "me plus you equals we" and explain that we can only control what's in our control. I also discuss how my friend, who works as a consultant in digitalisation in schools, deals with resistance to change. He focuses on early adopters, who are more receptive to new ideas, and uses their influence to sway the indecisive middle and eventually the late adopters or "grumpy bunch."
In summary, if we want to change someone else, we should focus on changing the intersection between our relationship with that person. The key takeaways from this episode are to change our perspective or approach in a relationship and to focus on early adopters when trying to implement change within a group.
