Three Dimensions of Immunity • Change-Prevention System (thwarting challenging aspirations) • Feeling System (managing anxiety) • Knowing System (organizing reality)
Overcoming Immunity • Does not require elimination of all anxiety-management systems • Change does not cause anxiety – it’s the absence of defenses • Our immune system CAN overcome
How engagement overcomes immunity to change • Allows time for on-going growth • Respects technical and adaptive agenda • Cultivates individual’s intrinsic motivation to grow • Recognizes that change in mindset takes time and is not evenly paced
How engagement overcomes immunity to change • Recognizes that mindsets shape thinking and feeling • Recognizes that neither change in mindset nor change in behavior alone leads to transformation • Provides safety for people to take risks inherent in changing minds
Innovation “If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten” Alfred Whitehead
The three elements of drive • Autonomy – self-direction • Mastery – a mindset; pain; and asymptote • Purpose – “purpose-motive”
The autonomy test • Autonomy over your time • Autonomy over your task • Autonomy over your team • Autonomy over your technique
The Winning Attitude • Order Qualifier - “considered for purchase” • Order Winner - “wins the order” 10
Persistence Many of life’s failures are men who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up
