Solving for Why The Science of Transforming Culture through Identity
If culture is that powerful, why do
we have strategy retreats and
strategic plans, but NO culture
retreats and culture plans?

“Culture eats strategy for breakfast” -Peter Drucker

Focusing on the correct order of Why, What, How…
Definition Typical Order Necessary Order
What: What we do What Why
How: What we know How What
Why: Who we are Why How
2) HOW (Visible and
Invisible evidence
of knowledge)
3) WHAT (Results/Outcomes)
What we often do:
Try to change #3 (results)
by going directly after How
and assume Why will fix
itself on it’s own.
What we must do instead:
Change results by changing
#1 (identity) 1) WHY (Identity)
8
“Why” is invisible so we often miss it and focus on the visible like What and How…
“Why” as the Engine, not the Caboose When why powers organizations speed increases & friction decreases

WHY HOW WHAT

“The healthcare industry is the most complex form of organization we have attempted to manage in human history.”
Peter Drucker
Question:
How can we expect leaders to have “System Thinking” without an education in System Theory.
Complexity in the Healthcare Industry
Complex Adaptive Systems
21
Organizations that thrive in chaos are
called Complex Adaptive Systems.
They exhibit the traits of:
1. Self-similar but heterogeneous
(diversity of function)
2. Strong interdependence of its
members (you need each other)
3. Loose coupling between agents and
system (not too much bureaucratic
central control)
4. Self-organizing (solve issues w/out
much top down direction)
5. Adapt best when on the verge of
Chaos (called “Emergence”)

Group Behavior: Complex Flocking Behaviors
3 individual instructions creates group order:
1. ALIGNMENT: Steer toward the average
heading of the flock (see the vision)
2. COHESION: Steer toward the average
position of local flock mates (stay close to
your team)
3. SEPARATION: Avoid crowding other birds
(but not too close…need for autonomy)
36
What complex flocking birds can teach us
37
3 Rules make Order from Chaos
IDENTITY - drives - ACTION - drives - RESULTS
39
Identity is behind every action
Identity is the butterfly effect, that small thing that
creates large scale change
VS.
Mother Doctor Stressed Victim
Every situation recruits new
identities which want to be
validated or enhanced. Only
occasionally do we drop
identities that don’t serve us.
The Identities cloud reality
and keep us from seeing
things clearly.
The Situation
You are running behind
schedule and have three more
patients before you can leave.
One of your partners told the
receptionist to send any walk-
in patients to you so they can
leave early for a social
function. You then walk into
the room to see the patient…
Recruited Identities Activated by the Situation
Possible Identities Fear based identities keep us from
seeing clearly given they are more
clouded than power-based identities
(due to a limbic hangover)
40
When we perceive a situation through identity filters, reality is obscured
1) EMOTION
• How we feel about the identity
• Emotion is encoded on each
mental map
• The stronger the emotion, the
more quickly it can recruit the
mental identity map (for good
and bad)
2) INSTRUCTIONS
• The brain creates a list of
instructions regarding behavior
associated with that identity
IDENTITY MAP: I am a Mizzou Fan
1) Emotion Pride/Joy
2) Instructions Shout: MIZ…ZOU!
Yell at the other team
Wear Black and Gold
In a new context, identity maps
generally recruit .05 to 8 seconds
before we are consciously aware
of them affecting our behavior
41
Ingredients for a Mental Identity Map
PROPOSITION:
The root cause of failure in most
organizations is not a lack of KNOWLEDGE.
It is a lack of BEING.
BKD Model: Being, Knowing, & Doing
42
When you see a group photo that you were in, who is the first person you look for?
44
The Narcissist Test
Why can you listen to an hour
lecture and only recite back 7%
of it’s content but remember
almost 100% of the stories that
were told?
45
CHANNEL 1: NARRATIVE
• Plays our favorite program called “Me and My Story”
• We are always the main character
• We broadcast on this channel 95% of our waking hours
• High ego needs
CHANNEL 2: DIRECT EXPERIENCE
• We broadcast on this channel 5% of the time
• We are not the main character but rather feel at one with the story line and those in it.
• No ego needs
46
Science has proven the brain broadcasts on 2 channels
CREATING A USEFUL IDENTITY AT WORK:
1) Aspirational
2) Something every employee can see themselves in
3) Something that mimics the way the brain creates
mental identity maps
4) Only 3-5 concepts so that the brain can remember
it. It’s ok to “chunk-down” concepts.
5) Use focus as a valuable resource

PROGRAMS THAT ENFORCE IDENTITY
• Rounding on every employee every month
• Culture of Yes Awards
• Linking Culture of Yes to behaviors in evaluations
• Reciting the identity at the start of staff meetings
• Culture of Yes at the end of e-mails signatures, memos, etc…
• 99% of employees can recite COY based on rounding data,
and this year 90% can recite the 10 behaviors.
• Short phrases provide convenient short-hand for the culture
• Leadership using the language (ie. “it’s a wake issue,”)
50
The Practice: Culture Building through “Attention Density”
RULES OF THE GAME: • 3 of a kind = $10 gift card
• 2 pair = $15 gift card
• A full house = $20 gift card
Given to employees by their
manager, senior leadership, or by
nomination from a co-worker

Rewards & Recognition: Award cards

What are your Masterpieces? The Culture of Yes: Together we: Care, Deliver, Innovate and Serve
Employees focus on what the leader
(curator) is focused on...
If you don’t want employees to focus on
something (drama, victim mentality, etc…)
get it out of the gallery.

INSIGHT #7
THE SAME EMPLOYEES CAN
INCREASE THEIR RESULTS BANDWIDTH
WITH A STRONGER COLLECTIVE AND
INDIVIDUAL IDENTITY
• Amateurs can make some baskets, but pros can do it over, and
over, and over again.
• People don’t pay to watch amateurs
• Professionals take pride in their performance every day.
AMATEURS PROFESSIONALS
74
Pros vs. Amateurs: Individual Identity
• Diversities main value is accentuating differences
that make the whole better.
• Too often the focus is doctor vs. nurse, finance vs.
marketing, or differences in sex, gender, or race.
This kind of focus puts people in competing tribes
rather than putting them on one team
• There is far more value to be gained by focusing on
differences in proven strengths of each employee
and using that to coach each employee throughout
the year.

People will work hard for money, they will
work harder for other people, but they will work hardest for a cause.
Our identity is the greatest cause we know,
we spend 95% of our waking hours thinking
in that language.
