  1. Wisdom of Michael Fullan Key #2 Resolute Leadership + Impressive Empathy “Top down change doesn’t work – people resist when leaders try to tighten things up. The track record for bottom up change is not any better.. The best way to tighten things up is to get peers to do it.”

  2. Wisdom of Michael Fullan Key #2 Impressive Empathy The Resolute Leader practices impressive empathy… empathy for others who disagree with you, those who are, in a word, in your way. What is impressive is the ability to put yourself in other people’s shoes, particularly those who hold values and experiences very different than yours.

  3. Wisdom of Michael Fullan Key #2 Impressive Empathy Leaders with empathy do not see people’s behavior as necessarily fixed. Their empathy tells them that perhaps the behavior is situational; if you want to change people’s behavior, change the situation.

  4. Wisdom of Michael Fullan Key # 2 Leadership Impressive Empathy When it comes to deep divisions, resolution and empathy must be combined if change is to occur…. The leader must change both capacity and motivation.

  8. Wisdom of Michael Fullan Key #3 Motivating the Masses “The big change problem, then, is how to get people to put in the energy to improve a situation when a lot of them don’t want to do it. How do you get people to change their minds?”

  9. Wisdom of Michael Fullan Key #3 Motivating the Masses At the beginning of a given change process the leader is key to get things going, … but all successful change eventually must revolve around collective ownership.

  10. Wisdom of Michael Fullan Key #3 Motivating the Masses Looking at what we know about motivation - force, rewards, and punishment can never be lasting motivators. The only thing that can possibly work is figuring out how to active, tap into, and leverage people’s intrinsic motivation– ‘managing upside-down’.

Wisdom of Michael Fullan Key #3 Motivating the Masses Research identifies conditions where intrinsic rewards will flourish: (Pink) • Work must carry a strong sense of purpose. • People must find the work satisfying. • There needs to be some degree of autonomy so people can exercise judgment. • ‘Camaraderie’ in the pursuit of goals.
