| | 18 Caveats on How Not to ChangeWritten by David Krueger MD
Continued from page 1
9. Do not seek your own information or develop your own solutions when you have experts to listen to. Rather, find someone to provide a map for you and avoid anyone who wants to help you develop your own guidance system to navigate. 10. Always find some cause and effect relationship to explain things otherwise not understandable. Maintain a consistent external focus to blame someone, or find some tangible explanation that offers a specific, concrete focus on what is wrong. Warning: much work is required to maintain this caveat, as you must be certain that obstacle can never be totally removed, or its causal effect would have to be confronted as inaccurate. The perceived cause must always be just beyond reach and remedy in order to remain as blame. 11. Keep doing same thing and expect a different outcome. If outcome doesn’t change for better, do same thing harder. 12. Be suspicious of new ideas. 13. New ideas, being perturbators of existing system, must be curbed if not silenced. 14. Meticulously guard against mistakes; best way to be sure to avoid mistakes is to keep doing same thing again and again with perfection as goal. 15. Maintain a focus on failure, giving it proper respect of fear so that it remains ever in focus with its guiding principle of avoidance. 16. Be extremely wary of new strategies and solutions, and invest instead in enforcement of existing approach. 17. When you make mistakes, focus on mistakes and attempt to get them right. 18. Continue to hold prejudices because they are markers of emotional landmines. ________________________________________
