The other day I was discussing why change doesn't happen at organisations even when we know the problem. I said because change requires integrity, and we don't have that.
Integrity means that what you think, what you feel, what you say, and what you do are all in alignment.
With integrity, you tell the truth even if the truth is ugly. You do the right thing even if no one is looking. And you do what you say you will do, when you say you will do, and when you don't, you tell the truth instead of making excuses.
The parents of integrity are responsibility & accountability. Being a good child to them means that you can say: I refuse to continue doing something that no longer serves us. I might not know the solution, but I know that I am tired of tolerating it and finding excuses to justify its existence.
When we get to this point, where our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions are in alignment, change will start to happen.
If change is not happening at your organisation, it simply means that the management and the leadership are not yet tired of their own BS.

1 年My experience; It isn’t easy to say No, for what one believed as BS despite powered with highest integrity, truth and intent to do good for the organisation. It is just because of swimming against current and power of authority?

1 年Really interesting Szilvia, there are probably a lot of people that have the first 2/3 parts of integrity nailed but that final part, the actual doing, is quite often the part that people struggle with including myself from time to time. Any idea why the 'doing' part can be so difficult?
