This document discusses building high performing teams through establishing habits. It explains that small, repetitive actions can have significant impacts when combined. The presenter outlines the habit loop model of making behaviors obvious, attractive, easy and satisfying to turn them into habits. Specific techniques are provided for establishing cues and intentions, increasing motivation through temptation, reducing friction to perform behaviors, and using rewards and feedback to reinforce habits. The goal is to compound small improvements over time through establishing team member identities and processes centered around important habits.

THIS COACH
IMPROVED EVERY TINY
THING BY 1 PERCENT
The Aggregation of Marginal
Gains :

the idea that if you broke down
everything you could think of that
goes to riding a bike, and then
improve it by 1 percent, you will
get a significant increase when
you put them all together. “

The Compound Effect
Habits are the compound interest of self-
improvement. The effects of small habits
compound over time.
Small Choices + consistency + time =
significant results
Warren Buffet said “ That’s how
knowledge works. It builds up, like
compound interest.

Be Patient to Cross The Threshold
Habits appear to make no difference until
you cross a critical threshold. Habits
need to persist long enough to
breakthrough.
Breakthrough moments whether positive
or negative are often result of many
previous actions.

Make The Intention Clear
“Many people think that they lack motivation but what
they lack is clarity”
There are two methods:
1. Implementation Intention
use when and where to indicate the most common
cues Time and Location
2. Habits Stacking, Habit Recipe - BJ Fogg

Habit Stacking- Habit Recipe
It is a special form of implementation intention. Rather
than pairing the new habit with particular time and
location we pair it with current habit.
After I [Current Habit], I will [New Habit]
After I sit down for dinner, I will say one thing I am
grateful for

Environmental Cues
• Habits change depending on the room we are in, and the
cues Infront of us. We are changing by the world around us
• Suggestion Impulse Buying,: Customers will occasionally
buy products not because they want them but because of
how they are presented to them.
For Example: Items at eye level tend to be purchased more
than those down near the floor.
• Vision is the most powerful human sensory abilities. Visual
cues are greatest catalyst of our behavior. For this reason,
a small change in what you see can lead to a big shift on
what you do..

Temptation Management
• The attractive the behavior, the more likely to be a habit
• When dopamine rises, so does the motivation to act
