Practice-Strength
The bridge to lasting change in everyday work
From knowing to doing, and from doing to keeping it up. Not the art of starting, because almost everybody starts, but the art of staying. An agreement that only exists as long as someone keeps asking for it is not yet an agreement.
What you may notice at work
- Good agreements that fade after a few weeks.
- A new line manager, and everything starts again from scratch.
- Adjustments that only move the load, for example to the evening.
What helps
- Choose one thing, not five. Start with the cheapest.
- Write agreements down, so they stay in place when the employee or the line manager changes.
- Make it a regular rhythm, for example a quick look in every third one-to-one at whether it still fits.
- With every adjustment, check: has the load really become lighter?
