PARADOX

• You can count the number of seeds in every apple,
  but you cant count the number of apples in every
  seed. Think of the REALITIES, but at the same
  time think of the POSSIBILITIES.
• The jigsaw puzzle. Take time to exchange
  information. Be sure you are all talking the
  same language and seeing the same picture.

Our Behaviors Habits determine the BLUE or RED
in our Organization
How I behave starts with my Pictures or
Paradigms
What I See
Believe or Disbelieve
Creating my HABITS
Makes me
Get or Not Get
Do
So that I
Therefore, to change habits start 1st by Changing
the Pictures or Paradigms

Behaviors in Action
Our Current Approach to Change
If I do not Get what I want I only change what I
am doing
Not Get
Do
Thus no Change in Habit/Behavior
NB. Find the Pictures or Paradigms that
create RED behavior

The Disengaged School Principal

• A father knocks on his son's door. "Jaime," he
  says, "wake up!"
• Jaime answers, "I don't want to get up, Papa."
• The father shouts, "Get up, you have to go to
  school."
• Jaime says, "I don't want to go to school."
• "Why not?" asks the father.
• "Three reasons," says Jaime. "First, because it's
  so dull second, the kids tease me and third, I
  hate school."
• And the father says, "Well, I am going to give
  you three reasons why you must go to school.
  First, because it is your duty second, because
  you are forty-five years old, and third, because
  you are the headmaster."

Nasrudin was now an old man looking back on his
life. He sat with his friends in the tea shop
telling his story.
When I was young I was fiery I wanted to
awaken everyone. I prayed to Allah to give me
the strength to change the world.
In mid-life I awoke one day and realized my life
was half over and I had changed no one. So I
prayed to Allah to give me the strength to change
those close around me who so much needed it.
Alas, now I am old and my prayer is simpler.
Allah, I ask, please give me the strength to
at least change myself

enterprise comes down to a single imperative -
your ability to grow and develop leaders faster
than your competition. Your role is to grow
leaders fast and develop a culture of leadership
before your competition does". The Greatness
