Summer Success Series Pt. 7:
Get everyone to embrace your vision


Biggest Takeaways You Don't Want to Miss:

  • You only need a small percentage of the right people to embrace your vision for it to take hold in your school. 
  • Builders recognize that it takes some people time to truly embrace your vision. And, because Builders play the long game, they don’t panic but patiently build people’s understanding of their vision and capacity to implement their vision until their vision becomes embedded in the culture.   
  • The mistake that leaders make is that they think the change process is a one-size-fits-all endeavor. Builders know that people experience change differently and adjust their approach to meet people where they are.
  • Why do we put these arbitrary deadlines on our initiatives? If it is truly work that matters, then it’s worth investing whatever time it takes to fully embed it into our culture. 
  • Leaders try to force change. Builders help everyone grow into change in a way that makes the change sustainable. 
In this penultimate episode of the Summer Success Secrets Series we’re going to take a deep dive into the Theory of Diffusion of Innovation to discover a secret Builders know about how to get their entire staff to embrace their vision.

We’ll leverage what science tells us about how people deal with change to meet people where they are and help each one of them to not only take ownership of our vision, but to build their capacity to successfully achieve our vision #LikeABuilder.

Check out these highlights:
  • Why you should only focus on a small part of your staff at first instead of getting the entire staff immediately on board.
  • How to quickly reach a tipping point for any new idea or innovation.
  • Why you should invest in parts of your staff and ignore others at first. 
  • What to do about the “laggards” on your staff
