This a discussion of major concepts in Robert E. Quinn's book, Change the World: How Ordinary People Can Accomplish Extraordinary Results. Participants in the Hangout will be encouraged to use personal transformation to positively impact their home life, work life, and communities -- to be "inner-directed and outer-focused." We are all potential change agents, but most of us are trapped by belief that we as individuals cannot make a difference. Informed by the teachings of Jesus, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, Jr. -- three of the most successful change agents ever -- we will explore eight steps each of us can take to move ourselves and others to the highest levels of excellence. Armed with these steps, each of us can access and apply the power that lies within us in ways that will change our world for the better.

12. ENVISION THE PRODUCTIVE COMMUNITY
• SYSTEM OF RELATIONSHIPS (BUSINESS,
COMMUNITY GROUP, FAMILY] IN WHICH
MEMBERS SHARE A COMMON PURPOSE AND
EACH WORKS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE OTHER
• MEMBERS BECOME MORE INNER DIRECTED AND
OTHER FOCUSED
• PEOPLE IN HIGHER POSITIONS SEE THEMSELVES
AS SERVANTS TO THOSE IN LOWER POSITIONS

13. ENVISION THE PRODUCTIVE COMMUNITY
• CLARITY OF PURPOSE
• HIGH STANDARDS OF PERFORMANCE
• HIGH TRUST AND SUPPORTIVE RELATIONSHIPS
• LEARNING AND CHANGE

14. LOOK FIRST WITHIN
• MAKING A FUNDAMENTAL CHOICE: WHO AM I &
WHAT DO I STAND FOR?
• CONTINUOUSLY REALIGNING MY BEHAVIOR
WITH MY FUNDAMENTAL CHOICE
• CHANGES WHAT I SEE & HOW I RESPOND
• EXPERIENCE MYSELF AS A CREATIVE FORCE

15. EMBRACE THE HYPOCRITICAL SELF
• I AM HYPOCRITE
• YET, I AM SURE MY HYPOCRISY DOES NOT EXIST
• HYPOCRISY DIVIDES ME FROM MYSELF
• EMBRACING MY HYPOCRISY CREATES
OPPORTUNITY FOR CHANGE
• OVERCOMING HYPOCRISY MAKES ME THE
MESSAGE

16. TRANSCEND FEAR
• TRANSFORMATIONAL PEOPLE HAVE MANY FEARS
AND THEY ARE WILLING TO ADMIT THEM, ONLY
THEN CAN THEY OUT GROW THEM.
• DEEP PERSONAL CHANGE ALWAYS MEANS
EXPERIENCING SOME KIND OF NEGATIVE
EMOTION. WE KNOW THIS AND WE FEAR IT.
If we seek to seed the universe
in accord with our unique
mission, the necessary resources
will emerge. If we fear failure and
stop taking risks we will fail.
Robert Quinn

17. TRANSCEND FEAR
• FLOWS FROM MY FUNDAMENTAL CHOICE
• TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE LEADERS TAKE
RISKS
• TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE LEADERS
CHALLENGE EXISTING TRADITIONS AND BELIEFS
To be effective, the organization
needs us to care so much about
rescuing it that we would risk
dying for the same system that
would kill us for caring enough to
propose the effort.
Robert Quinn
