“I vividly recall training a group of professionals on the virtues of completing the ubiquitous ‘To Do List’ many years ago. Sound familiar?

As I passionately proclaimed the merits of doing this simple but powerful task to my audience, I noticed that the glaze came over their eyes. They were tuning out instead of tuning in.

I could see clearly from the glaze that these leaders weren’t going to take my well intended advice and do a To Do List.

Why? Why wouldn’t you do something so simple and effective, I thought?

Then it dawned on me … The power of what goes on outside the four walls of the training room has more influence then I or any other trainer could ever muster.

The workplace from which these leaders belonged had a ‘fly by the seat of your pants’ culture. In other words, they weren’t convinced being organised would work in their current organisational culture.

It made me think: If I could change the culture of the workplace, I could change these leaders mindsets about a simple organising tool like the To Do List and many other things.

I truly understood for the first time that sustainable change is more about changing people’s thinking.

If I could change people’s thinking, I could change their behaviour.

I repositioned WINNERS AT WORK as a management consultancy that is in the business of assisting organisations develop productive workplace cultures by creating new mindsets”.
