The Little Black Book of Change is co-authored by Achieve Breakthrough CEO Mike Straw and Paul Adams - an experienced CEO of both corporate and SME organisations, as well as one of our longstanding clients. The book provides a practical, concise and insightful guide to understanding your organisation and inventing something extraordinary - and is based on Achieve Breakthroughs core leadership and cultural philosophies.
It is not about 'run of the mill' change programmes. It is about delivering extraordinary results – something that is not at all predictable. It will be your insight into creating significant shifts in the way people think and behave which can be applied in any area you wish; from improving service levels to cost reductions, innovation or increasing market share.
Chapter Six / Shift Six: Keeping the organisation future-focused
The conversations happening around a change determine its life span. By embedding a ‘can-do’ coaching culture, we keep everyone’s eyes on the future. In this chapter specifically you will learn:
- How to recognise the different types of conversations people have - past (interpretation-based), present (action-orientated), and future (possibility-based)
- How to turn concerns into requests
- How to manage conversations and generate possibility in your people
- Make bold and effective promises and requests
