WELCOME TO ORGANIZATIONAL THEORY AND CHANGE DR. LEN ELOVITZ
A blue whale is the largest mammal on earth. An adult blue whale is the length of over three Greyhound buses, weighs more than a fully loaded 747 and has a heart the size of a Volkswagen Beetle. It is so large that it takes at least three minutes for it to make a turn of 180 degrees.
Many people draw a strong parallel between blue whales and our schools, businesses and even communities. It just seems to take forever to change direction.
But a school of sardines consisting of a greater mass than a blue whale can turn almost instantly. How do they do it? Is it ESP? CB radio? The Internet
If you take a careful look at a school of sardines, you'll see that the fish appear to be swimming in the same direction. In reality, there will always be a small group of sardines swimming against the flow causing friction with the rest of the school.
But when this dedicated group of ‘committed sardines’ reaches a critical mass of only 15 to 20 percent, they induce the rest of the school to suddenly turn and follow their leadership! Isn't that what happened with our attitudes towards drinking and driving, and to our feelings about smoking?
Isn't that exactly what happened to the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union? Isn't that what caused the Internet to suddenly appear overnight. Each and every one of those events was an overnight success that took years in the making. Overnight successes that took a small group of people who were truly committed despite the obstacles, challenge, and yeahbuts, to make the necessary change
They were changes of direction induced by a small group of people who were truly committed to change, to go against the flow, to cause discomfort, and to challenge the normal direction.
Noted anthropologist Margaret Mead once wrote "never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that ever has." That's why we're Committed Sardines. - Ian Jukes
