The document discusses the AADACM model, which outlines the stages individuals go through in the process of behavioral change, from awareness to momentum. It emphasizes the importance of guiding oneself or a team through these stages to achieve sustained results and highlights the necessity of awareness to initiate change. The model aims to enhance human influence by applying appropriate support during each transition in the change process.

for a 4-8 week period to build the new habitMomentum
Making this process conscious maximises potential success

6. What are the results?
• Many people have a level of awareness about a situation
and take considerable time before taking responsibility
and moving to acceptance
• If you don’t have awareness of this model you may find
yourself in situations where you’re pushing for a decision
or sustained action and your team still haven’t accepted
that they’re responsible for the outcome
• If you use this model you can take your level of human
influence to the next level by applying the right focus at
the right time
