ACTION PLAN
Where do you need it?
What do you have already?
Who to involve?
When is it right?
What if it doesn’t work?
Front line wants autonomy but management is afraid of giving up control
Principles that guide decision-making (formal or informal)
Convene a “Constitutional Convention”
Specific enough to guide behavior; broad enough to allow freedom of action
Correct the doctrine, not the person

HARVARD’S PROGRESS
“Christian saw three men fast asleep, with fetters upon their heels. The name of one was Simple, of another Sloth, and of the third Presumption.
Seeing them lie in this case, he went to them, if perhaps he might awake them, and cried, "I will help you off with your irons."
With that they looked upon him, and began to reply: • Simple said, "I see no danger." • Sloth said, "Yet a little more sleep." • And Presumption said, "Every tub must stand upon his
own bottom."
And so they lay down to sleep again, and Christian went on his way.”
