UALR and each Co-op have identified a Cluster Coordinator, who will convene a Design Team in each area of the state. These teams will develop the methods and strategies for engaging the area resources and providing team support in each region. Farson s style is to make statements that violate the conventional wisdom - then explain the errors inherent in the conventional thinking. We want for ourselves not what we are missing, but more of what we already have. This, of course, keeps us from having to make significant change in our personalities, habits, behaviors.
Big changes are easier to make than small ones.
Small changes are resisted just as actively as large ones, and the gradual change which may result is relatively insignificant. However, we do pay attention to our successes and continue the behaviors that led to that success. Everything we try works, and nothing works. Workers are conscientious and will keep an organization going regardless of the changes made by management. Most of those changes will produce positive effects, but the effects will be short lived if not sustained by sound management principles practiced on a continuing basis.
