From Richard Pascale's book Delivering Results: "People are much more likely to act their way into a new way of thinking, than think their way into a new way of acting."
How true. We like to believe that we think, we analyze, we decide, we change, but in fact, so much of our thought is a response to what we do and experience. While Pascale was writing in an HR/business management context, his insight is perhaps even more important in the context of social change. It reminds me of another great line, which my wife likes to quote, from Buckminster Fuller: "Don't change the man. Change his environment."
