If You Dress A New Something In

Simply Giving Employees A Sense Of Agency- A Feeling That They Are In Control, That They Have Genuine Decision-making Authority - Can Radically Increase How Much Energy And Focus They Bring To Their Jobs.

Habits Are Powerful, But Delicate. They Can Emerge Outside Our Consciousness, Or Can Be Deliberately Designed. They Often Occur Without Our Permission, But Can Be Reshaped By Fiddling With Their Parts. They Shape Our Lives Far More Than We Realize—they Are So Strong, In Fact, That They Cause Our Brains To Cling To Them At The Exclusion Of All Else, Including Common Sense.

The Problem Is That Your Brain Can't Tell The Difference Between Bad And Good Habits, And So If You Have A Bad One, It's Always Lurking There, Waiting For The Right Cues And Rewards.
