Have you ever felt like your progress was being blocked, not just by
your own circumstances, but by the presence and actions of others? Do
you constantly tell yourself that you would be more successful in your
job—whether it’s teaching, leading or contributing to an
organization—only others did not stand in your way? Bestselling author
Michael Fullan’s new book, Freedom
to Change: Four Strategies to Put Your Inner Drive into Overdrive explores
the two kinds of freedom in our daily lives: freedom from obstacles
versus freedom to take initiative and act.
Fullan prescribes four dynamically interrelated actions we can take:
-
Consciously seeking a balance between our own autonomy and cooperation
with others
-
Improving the feedback exchange—giving more valuable responses, as
well as eliciting, hearing and accepting feedback more effectively
-
Building accountability to others into the fabric of our working lives
-
Finding ways to influence others with the changes we've made and want
to spread
Fullan invites readers to ask themselves what change they would like to
bring about for themselves and those around them. Illustrated and
enriched with examples from education, business and nonprofit sectors, Freedom
to Change offers recommendations for both individuals and
organizations seeking to enhance connectedness and independence.
