Traditional business thinking tells us:
1
2
3
but...
Those with the most experience have the most value to contribute
When something isn’t going as planned, the organization is broken and needs to be fixed
Management hierarchy produces the best results

“Morning, boys, how’s the water?”
“What the hell is water?”
“What the hell is water?”

The moral?
Your current business reality is not permanent. It is simply your current perception.
![Page 9: Create a Future of Your Own Design](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052606/58873e081a28abc0748b72ab/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Only when we change what we believe to be true about the world do new possibilities begin to appear.

1THINKING CHANGE
Everyone (no matter their age, position or length of employment) has something valuable to contribute.
BEHAVIOR CHANGE
Be inclusive
![Page 13: Create a Future of Your Own Design](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052606/58873e081a28abc0748b72ab/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Try it Bring together a group from all levels and departments
to talk about what the future of your company could
look like.
Begin by asking:
What would need to be true about our future
to call it successful?
To get there, what should we keep doing, what should
we stop doing, and what do we need to create?

2THINKING CHANGE
Nothing is wrong. Everything is how it needs to be to move toward making the future even better.
BEHAVIOR CHANGE
Eliminate complaining and blaming

Try it In your next planning meeting, begin by intentionally
honoring the past.
Begin by asking:
What has allowed us to be here taking on
this challenge?
What can we do to maintain a positive outlook
throughout this initiative?

3THINKING CHANGE
Relationships, not authority, create a strong foundation
BEHAVIOR CHANGE
Put hierarchy aside
![Page 17: Create a Future of Your Own Design](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052606/58873e081a28abc0748b72ab/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Try it Create a working group based on interest and capability
rather than on departments and roles
Begin by asking:
How will each of us contribute to this initiative/project?
What will need to be true about how we behave
if we are to be successful?
![Page 18: Create a Future of Your Own Design](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052606/58873e081a28abc0748b72ab/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
You have more say in the creation of your future than you think.
