Language is Culture

• Richard Elmore (Instructional Rounds 2008)
  points out that the language we use shapes the
  culture of the institution.
• What do people say to you?
• What do you say to others?
• What do you say to yourself?

Re-framing Language

• Fixed Mindset Communication

• Growth Mindset Communication

• I appreciate that you put effort into everything
  you do.
• Lets run this by our leadership group to survey
  where staff might be on this
• Our staff is committed to continuous improvement
• Lets see how their success can inspire us.

• Everything you do is brilliant
• Its not the right time to bring this to our site
• We have a very intelligent staff
• Our site/students/situation is different

Re-framing Language

• Fixed Mindset Self-Talk

Growth Mindset Self-Talk
They would never consider me I will look for an opportunity to showcase my skills
I am always messing that up I need a new strategy for this situation
Why cant I stop doing that? If I ask for some support, I can change my response/behavior/etc.
I cant do this anymore I need help, or I need to make some choices
That is not my style It will take some practice to learn that!

Motivation

• Carrots and sticks do (not) work for very long
• Autonomy is extremely important to human beings
• Mastery requires engagement (Flow)
• Humans seek purpose (think purpose maximization)

7
How do we motivate people?

• Leadership 1.0 Have the biggest muscles,
  weapons, army, treasure chest
• Leadership 2.0 have an action plan, measures,
  stipends, and performance review
• Leadership 3.0 Know HOW to GROW your people

8
Can YOU help people change their habits,
thinking, and beliefs?

• Every change process must deal with these facts
  about humans
• We have a rational brain (the Rider)
• We have an emotional brain (the Elephant)
• We work and live in an environment (our Path)

What does this mean for leaders?

Recipe for Change

• Direct the Rider
• Motivate the Elephant
• Set the Path

Think-Pair-Table Share

• Consider a plan/initiative you have seen
  implemented at a school. Look at it through the
  lens of Switch. Did the implementation include
  those elements? How successful was/is it?

What do you love about your vocation?

The journey IS the destination
15
Become a school
A leader can weather the storms because s/he
has a vision, a purpose, and knows that effort
and time are essential ingredients to the journey.
