RECOGNIZE and SUPPORT THOSE WHO LEAD THE CHANGE!

When one observes negative normative behavior being modeled, there are three choices for responding to it: 1) to approve and encourage it, 2) to disapprove and question it, or 3) approve or disapprove, but - do nothing. Sadly, most people turn a blind eye and do nothing for fear of possible repercussions. This response only reinforces the behavioral status quo and undermines the change process. Fortunately, there are individuals who are not afraid to demonstrate the courage and leadership to challenge negative behavior. While they choose to do the right thing, sadly, they are often “scapegoated” by the group.
