Hi,
Maybe we should be less skeptical ... it only makes it more difficult and we know we have to move that direction anyway !
In fact it might be easier than you think. I agree that it is very difficult trying to NOT do old habits.
The power is to replace habits by something else ....
I think the main key is to keep people focusing on results. I have been working with lots of (international) teams.
The more you focus on result, team effort, the less they want to try to stand out individually.
Focusing on appreciation what's going right is far more powerful than picking on the things going wrong.
And then there is something else we have to work on: patience !
Most of us want something badly, we want it NOW.
I always tell people when a sentence starts with "I want" that it will cost them either time or money ...
Well if money is gone ... the only thing left is time ...
Guys it will only take time !
