People Problem vs. Situation Problem: The Popcorn Study

Overweight? It might not be your fault. Blame your dish-ware.

The above video is the first in a series I’ve started on my YouTube channel where I take concepts from various books, papers, and videos on the subject of change leadership and apply them to my own work and life, specifically my work as a ScrumMaster. Today’s episode is about the book “Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard” by Chip and Dan Heath. This book is filled with great thinking about change agency that can be helpful to anyone trying to get their organization to adopt new behavior such being lean, being agile, or being extreme programmers, or really anything at all. In the above video, I talk about the very first concept in the book: people problems versus situation problems.

I would love to hear what you thought of the video, so feel free to comment below, on The K Guy Twitter, or on The K Guy Facebook fan page.
