which is the best recipe for mediocrity.” ~Patrick Lencioni on LinkedIn

Residual & Legacy Burdens that
Inhibit Transformational Change
2. THE ORGANIZATIONAL LEGACY BURDEN
Tenured team members carry a
backpack of their old
responsibilities and are afraid
to redistribute them to newer
team members.
4. THE PATTERN
Legacy Burden
Projection
Tenured Person:
Overworked
Overly Accountable
Blames New Hire(s) for
Not “Carrying Their
Weight”
New Person:
Undervalued
Can’t Make an Impact
Blames Tenured
Person for Being
“Controlling”
5. TEAM WORKSHOP: UNPACKING
THE ORGANIZATIONAL LEGACY
BURDEN
1. Carry a physical backpack of
responsibilities. Responsibilities are
represented with weighted objects.
2. Unpack the “responsibilities” and
distribute them among the team.
3. Feel the new weight of shared
responsibility and accountability.
4. Incorporate this language into the
language of the team.
5. Commit to small, incremental changes
that gradually create the outcome the team
collectively wants: Shared responsibility and
accountability.
6. Plan
Co-create small changes
Execute
Be Accountable
What did we say we would do?
What did we do, why?
