Participants of the Systemic Change Model Trailblazers Pioneers Settlers Sit-at-home Saboteurs
“Trailblazer” • Prepared to go where no one else has gone. • Excited and self motivated. Go it alone. • Needs only a vision and the opportunity. • Innovative and self reliant. • Require little support, encouragement or protection.
“Pioneers” • Travel behind trailblazers in small clusters. • Need vision and the concept developed. • Require some support, encouragement and protection.
“Settlers” • Travel behind Pioneers in larger bunches (wagon trains). • Require extensive support, encouragement, and protection. • Strong leadership is required to sustain efforts. • Frustration is normal and should be expected.
“Sit at Home” • Passive resistors to change efforts. • Supportive, but do not want to participate personally. • “I’ll support you, but don’t ask me to go…” • “I think things are just fine.” • “We’ve done this before …” • These people are often former Trailblazers and Pioneers who have grown weary because of ineffective ventures… “I told you so!”
“Saboteurs” • Active resistors to change efforts. • Non-supportive and do not want anyone to participate.
