Learn how to “see” where you want your team to go
At SAMC, we often work with people who need or want
to change. That’s our job as corporate anthropologists. And what we have
learned over the years is that people hate to change unless they
can literally see what it is they have to move toward. The human
brain is designed to keep us in today’s habits and not let us
wander too far astray. But if you can see something new, you can
begin to visualize how you can adapt it for yourself. In fact,
without visualizing or experiencing the new, you don’t know what it
is. You flee it or fear it. You are never sure what “it” is. In
this podcast, I bring to you Todd Cherches who has just published a
new book about Visual Leadership. It's said, if
you can see it you can be it. Listen in as Todd shows us why this
is true.

Todd teaches you
how to “see, feel and think” in new ways by visualizing what it is
you are asking others to do
As you know, we preach the same thing. We need to let the eyes capture the new ideas and turn them into new stories, new visualizations, or we make up those new stories. And, we decide with the heart, so we have to feel the things someone is asking us to do. You will find that our conversation is very visual, which is why I include a video of our podcast. How else will you “see” what Todd wants you to experience.
