Hello <<First Name>>,

We started this year talking about how you can measure change (and why you need to in order to make change stick). We could not have predicted the sweeping behavioural changes that were going to happen in the next few months. 

As humans, we don't cope well with change so we should all be raising a glass this December for how well we have performed through this year.  Usually, change happens slowly, and over time. Small nudges become ingrained in our behaviours, then the culture of our social identity and finally our behaviours as as natural as if we were born with them. 

Yet, establishing the behaviours we want is not quick and easy. As we see each January with your resolutions. 

This month in the blog, we look at how email has changed our behaviours over the past two decades and what we can learn from this as leaders. 

Enjoy the read and your end of year drink of choice. 

THIS MONTH'S BLOG POST 

What your emails can tell you about your changing behaviour

Email helps us look at how our behaviours have changed at work and home over a couple of decades. As technology changes how we work, the way we approach email highlights how those nudges are ingrained into our social identity. Find out what leaders can take from our changing email behaviour for wider team behaviours. 

The map is not the territory
