False Imperatives

McCabe’s Law: Nobody has to do anything.- Charles McCabe

We must… …it’s mandatory

Page 11: Building Distributed Leadership in the Philadelphia School District Module: Team Building.

Paired Discussion

Imperatives

With your team, discuss why we tend to use imperatives.

List the false imperatives others use on you.

List the false imperatives you use on other people.

Why do you think you do that?

Page 12: Building Distributed Leadership in the Philadelphia School District Module: Team Building.

Group Discussion

12

Must we?

Have you ever been forced to be part of the team?

• Note those times when you have been “forced” to join the team.

• Note whether the experience was a positive one or not.

• If so, what made it positive? • If not, how could the experience

have been changed to be more positive?

Page 13: Building Distributed Leadership in the Philadelphia School District Module: Team Building.

Group Discussion

Shared values?

Team Building is not about:• Shared values, • Common objectives, or • Mutual interests.

Getting buy-in?

Team Building is not about getting people to buy in to:

• School goals, • Missions, • Visions, • Core values, etc.

What do you want?

With the group at your table, make a list of:

• At least one thing each person hopes to get out of attending this session.

• At least one thing on each person’s agenda for his or her school.

Patterns of Behavior

Team Building is about getting people to:

• Engage in patterns of behavior and • Produce performances that result in desired outcomes

Page 18: Building Distributed Leadership in the Philadelphia School District Module: Team Building.

Group Discussion

18

What, exactly, do you want from team members?Think about a team, give an example of unambiguous behavior, or measurable performance that you want to get from someone on that team.

Changing Behavior

Team building involves some individual engaged in some behavior designed to influence the behavior of one or more other individuals.

Framing what you want from others by describing attitudes, dispositions, personality characteristics, qualities of relationships is:

• Vague• Subjective• Ambiguous• Open to widely differing interpretations

Labels

Placing a negative label on another person or group puts a huge, perhaps insurmountable, psychological obstacle between them and you in terms of positive human influence.

• Make a list of negative labels you think people use to talk about you and your group.

• Make a list of negative labels you use to talk about individuals, groups, etc.

• At your table compare these labels.

“Difficult”

Page 27: Building Distributed Leadership in the Philadelphia School District Module: Team Building.

Brainstorming Activity

27

Why do we use negative labels?

It’s easy.It’s fun to play “Junior Freud.”It bonds us with our buddies.It gives us “wiggle room.”It makes us feel superior.

“Difficult”

But, We Want More …

We want more than behavior.

• We want validation, justification and confirmation of our own beliefs, values and feelings.

• We want them to do it for “our” reasons.

The Right-hand Column

Frame what you want from others by describing desired behavior and performance.

• Behavior: Describe clear, concrete, observable unambiguous, specific behaviors (and patterns of behavior)

or

• Performances: Describe measurable, quantifiable performances.

Team Building

Team building is:

• Focusing on those closest to the threshold of the behaviors you want.

• Focusing on the informal leaders in the group.

• Offering multiple value satisfactions in exchange for the desired behaviors and performances.

• Offering multiple protections from perceived costs and risks.
