SPaMCAST 747 - Combatting Fatalism, Succession Planning, Essays and Conversations

<p dir="ltr">This week we continue our exploration of fatalism’s impact on change in organizations (listen to Part 1 in <a href= "https://bit.ly/3FokJIo">SPaMCAST 745</a>). Fatalism does not have to be permanent. How that transition away from fatalism can be made varies depending on context. In this installment of the series, we will look at a few approaches to tackling this problem. </p> <p dir="ltr">We also have a visit from Jon M Quigley. Jon and I discussed succession planning and why planning needs to be more diverse to support organizational health.  </p> <p dir="ltr">Re-read Saturday News!</p> <p dir="ltr">This week we re-read Chapter 20 of Extraordinary <a href="https://amzn.to/3RrmE2a">Badass Agile Coaching: The Journey from Beginner to Mastery and Beyond</a>. Bob notes that Stephen Covey’s seventh habit in his classic, Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, is sharpening the saw.  This is a reminder that who and where we are today can’t be who or where we are tomorrow. This habit is a prescription for balanced self-renewal. This is the last chapter of Extraordinary Badass; next week we will discuss the afterword and final thoughts.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Buy a copy and upgrade your coaching skills - <a href= "https://amzn.to/3RrmE2a">Badass Agile Coaching: The Journey from Beginner to Mastery and Beyond</a></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Previous Installments:</p> <p dir="ltr">Week 19: <a href="http://bit.ly/3JQCXEY">Sharpening Your Badass Saw</a> - <a href= "http://bit.ly/3JQCXEY">http://bit.ly/3JQCXEY</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">Week 18: <a href="http://bit.ly/3JyPT27">Setting Up a Badass Agile Coaching Community of Practice</a> - <a href= "http://bit.ly/3JyPT27">http://bit.ly/3JyPT27</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">Week 17: <a href="http://bit.ly/3FlftW7">Dojo Practices</a> - <a href= "http://bit.ly/3FlftW7">http://bit.ly/3FlftW7</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">Week 16: <a href="http://bit.ly/3Y4Kcgy">Badass Agile Coach’s Guide to Starting Your Day</a> - <a href= "http://bit.ly/3Y4Kcgy">http:
