• Command: Tell them what to do.
• Education: Teach them, one step at a time.
• Facilitation: Use a facilitator to guide team meetings.
• First Steps: Make it easy to get going.
• Involvement: Give them an important role.
• Management by Objectives (MBO): Tell people what to do, but not how.
• Open Space: People talking about what concerns them.
• Re-education: Train the people you have in new knowledge/skills.
• Restructuring: Redesign the organization to force behavior change.
• Shift-and-Sync: Change a bit then pause restabilize.
• Spill and Fill: Incremental movement to a new organization.
