Establishing rituals is important for our effectiveness but it is also a way to establish change. If we want to change, we need to setup rituals. This will allow us to consistently implement the new approach.
Rituals are not just routines or habits. They have a link to a higher purpose, which can be personal success or the success of the organization.
Setting up rituals as a way to change is true personally and also in organizations. The most effective change programs involve creating a set of new rituals (meetings, type of encounters, new process steps and meeting points etc) up to the point where it becomes a habit with purpose.
Purpose is very important here because it will justify the effort and always re-frame the actions taken with a higher level justification.
When do you establish the rituals that will allow you to change?
