The subject of change is one of those topics that seems to always intrigue me. Particularly among teams.  It’s interesting to note one’s orientation toward change and how it can create disequilibrium.  Instead of peering through the lenses of “what could be,” rather, one becomes bogged down with: The past.  My comfort.  Fear of the future.  The problem.  (And the list goes on.)

Recently I picked up a new book by Chip and Dan Heath called, Switch.  You can check out a recent article about their book in this months Fast Company magazine.

A little excerpt to wet your palette: “We need to switch from archaeological problem solving to bright-spot evangelizing.”  

People need: Hope. Faith. Courage.

Change is possible.

I have been a religious subscriber of Fast Company for many years now, and recently ran across an article which described the likes of David Kelley.  David Kelley is the founding architect of the design firm Ideo.

The article is a must read!

The article brilliantly and tantalizingly lays out several tidbits, as we (for a moment) get to peer closely into the life of David.  You will learn about…

…a recent personal challenge

…design thinking

…redesigning organizational cultures

…’taking a step back before forging ahead’

…and much more!

Take the time to read the article in FastCompany, here.
