  1. Good to Great, Jim Collins What do great corporations/organizations do differently than good/average organizations? They seek and find the “brutal facts”

  2. Facts • There is no more dedicated ROP funding • Our ability to survive as a program depends on our ability to create, market, and fill desirable courses • We MUST serve students first

  3. “Frustration” – The Root of a Toxic Culture Frustration = “A feeling of anxiety as a result of the inability to perform a task” • A miss-match between skill set and task • Causes people to deflect blame onto others and create covert alliances with people experiencing similar struggle

  4. School Culture Healthy Toxic Goal: Maintain Status Quo Rejects any substantive change if it clashes with personal agenda Self-interest is more important than student interest (Self Servant) • Goal: Success for Every Student • Accepts that change (the right change) is necessary to improve student performance • Student interest is more important that personal interest (Public Servant)

  5. School Culture and Language Healthy Toxic Focus on personal affect of the problem and constant, emotionally-charged description of the problem Emotional discussions lie outside of the locus of control • Focus on problem and problem solving • Pragmatic discussions stay within the locus of control

  6. Change Is Not Easy • People persist when they are given no clear reason to change • People persist when they do not trust the person who tells them to change • People persist when they view the alternative as more frightening • To change may mean admitting failure (Maclean, Young Men and Fire, 1992)

  7. How do we respond? • Level 1 – Make a clear case for change • Level 2 – Develop relationships, do not ostracize • Level 3 – Increase capacity and consider the context • Level 4 – Accept Failure as a stage
