The 3 Things About Habit Formation

In this episode Lee takes a look at the 3 main points when forming positive habits to benefit our organisations. How do we create those automatic actions effectively in ourselves and our team that can become parts of the system and problem solving solutions that we need?  

KEY TAKEAWAYS

One of our favourite definitions of ‘culture’ is the sum of all of the habits that exist within our organisation.  Belief is the most natural way to form a habit if your people believe that change is truly possible.  The Habit Loop is the model which is based on cue, routine and reward. The same model is applied to creating a good habit as a bad one. Cue is the repeated trigger for the habit, routine is the process to deal with the situation and the reward is the results achieved.  Craving will be the eventual result of repeated problem solving through the habit loop and will be the driver behind habitual change.

BEST MOMENTS

‘There’s various different studies that suggest that a high percentage of what we do every single day is habitual.’ 

’If we really want to challenge and change our culture then it starts with creating and forming new habits.’ 

‘I see a lot of people want to do the routine without considering the cue and the reward.’ 

‘If you can sufficiently get people to continuously travel that habit loop over a period of time then you will create a level of craving and then it becomes habitual.’
