Habits are like RABBITS
Using Habit Formation To Drive Culture Change
If culture is the collective habits of a group, then culture change must take place one habit at a time. This is not a trivial exercise according to a recent study which shows that the median time to make a new behaviour habitual is 59 days (Keller et al., 2021).

Charlie Pellerin (Former Director of Astrophysics, NASA) and Paul Hawkins (Chief Combobulator, Crazy Might Work) discuss the origins of the NASA Four-Dimensional Leadership Program and why it has been so transformational globally since launching in the late 1990’s.

“Having studied Leadership for many years, the NASA 4-D Leadership Program was an amazing life changing journey, helping me to build better teams and navigate the most hostile environments I could imagine. The program brought together a group of intelligent professionals and challenged them to see the world differently.

I can’t highly recommend this excellent program enough. Now I just need my own rocket!”
– Former Commander, Raptor Squad (Australian Organised Crime Unit)
