The relationship between attitudes and behaviours is complex. Perhaps you can immediately bring to mind some examples of how attempts to implement change at work were a major flop.
So.
How do we engage in the process so that change does in fact come?
How do we avoid putting good resources in bad places and then have a collective panic when the same old problems persist?
This episode features references to the following:
- The Role of Attitudes in Work Behavior
- Intervention Preparedness Tool
- VIA Character Strengths Survey
- Reflected Best Self exercises
- Feedforward Interviews (follow Table 1 for instructions)
Getting people to change their behaviour(s) is difficult - but communicating well, creating a space for concerns, identifying shared goals, promoting autonomy, and having a Before, During, and After plan for the change will greatly improve its viability. Good luck, Professionals!
