How to Guide “Managing Change using Reinforcement Theory”

• Stage 1: Overview of reinforcement theory, and managing culture change
  
  Your observations of your business culture are through the behaviour and actions of your people. The common behaviors of your people, together, form your organizations culture. You will achieve changes in your organizations culture if you focus on changing the behavior of your people.
  
  Key Point: If you are able to influence the behavior of your people, you will be influencing or changing your organizations culture.
  
  You can influence the behavior of your people by changing the way that you respond to their actions. The reinforcement motivation theory provides you with a framework to help you to shape your response to your employee’s behaviour and actions.
  
  A change in your leadership response or leadership style will quickly result in a change in employee behaviour creating a changed culture.
  
  A good leader will use the tips provided by reinforcement motivation theory every day to create an environment where employees are more likely to strive to achieve results and are less likely to behave in an undesirable way.
