IMU

From the organization Partners in Leadership

Book: Change the Culture, Change the Game by Roger Connors and Tom Smith

When teams or organizations are underperforming leaders tend to make the mistake of working on the top half of the pyramid by focusing on “actions”

Leaders can accelerate change and results by working with the bottom half of the pyramid when they focus on “beliefs” and “experiences.”

As LEADers, I want you to think of yourselves as…

Step 1: What belief will support the desired action and therefore result?

Step 2: What experience will create the belief?

STARTHERE! Then…

Try to Avoid this!

Pyramid Puzzle You are building a “system of beliefs”

that together create the result

Study your pyramids. What other beliefs can you create that will produce your results? Write experiences and actions that align with the belief.

Which 3 would be more strategic for you to focus on this year?

What else do you notice?

Leadership of Self

What do you notice about the current “system of beliefs?” How can you improve upon them?

Add 3 - 4 more beliefs and align the belief with experience and action

Get together with another pair and share your additions. What do you notice? Themes? Insights? Questions? Comments?

Which belief(s) would best serve your school?

Leadership of Others

The leader is respected for her or his interpersonal skills and commitment to leading transformation among teams of teachers, administrators, and colleagues.

What “system of beliefs” will create leadership of others?

Identify at least 4 beliefs and write corresponding experiences and actions.

Leadership of Others Compare your result pyramids with

another group. What do you notice? Insights? Questions? Comments?

Go to the LEAD home page and download the example result pyramids. How are your pyramids similar or different?

What belief(s) would best serve your school?

Enrollment Conversations

In Summary

Consider that you are “Designers of Experience”

As Designers of Experience aligning experience, beliefs, and actions will accelerate achieving your desired result

Be strategic about who you enroll and why as you expand LEAD partners

Have FUN!
