How Should We Act to Influence Positive Change?
Lead with integrity/ humility
Cicero, from “The Conflict Between the Right and the Expedient,” - “What is morally wrong can never be expedient.” --> Gratidianus stole credit for reform the colleagues wrote together. Became popular but lost integrity.
At what cost of reward is integrity worth giving up/ if any?
Lao Tzu, from Tao Te Ching,- “He who brags about himself shall not receive credit.” Act in a way where you don't need credit and that is now positive change will come about.
Adam Grant, “You 2.0: How to Open Your Mind,” - totalitarian ego - filters out info threatening our image. integrity = firm values
Change the system
Zheng, Lily. "We Already Know What Works," - “Environment over individual” and “coalitions over cliques”
The culture of overworking was hurting womens promotions and mens health so need to change the norms of the environment.
Katherine Phillips, “Why Diversity Matters,” - Example of sprinters and distance runners and how easy it is here to separate people into us and them but the goal should be culture is normal.
Amy Gallo, “What Is Psychological Safety?,” - Teams with strong diversity performed better only if they felt safe. So where should organizations build first to actually change the system to ensure members feel safe first and are then able to support diversity?
What should be built first? Do we look at common or differences first?
real good vs performed
Lao Tzu, from Tao Te Ching - “A man of superior virtue is not conscious of being virtuous, hence is truly virtuous.” - Natural good is not something that is staged or acted our and just comes to be.
How does one tell the difference between real vs performed?
Zheng & Phillips connect because Organizations can say the correct things but then their actios can show very different things.
If an initiative’s results are never measured, was it done to help or to look good?
Be truthful
Adam Grant, “You 2.0: How to Open Your Mind,” “You don’t want to trust your gut, you want to test your gut.” - There is task & relationship conflict to succeed build a challenge network and stay truthful.
Amy Gallo, “What Is Psychological Safety?, - How to conduct without fear? Psychological Safety allows people to do that.
Difference between being nice vs being honest/ truthful is important.
Staying quiet can equal dishonesty.- Cicero
