Fix the Machine, Not the Person [Behavior]

Fix the Machine, Not the PersonWhen people mess up, we often react by getting angry and yelling at them. We want to change the way they're acting. As Aaron Swartz illustrates, responding with anger just makes people more defiant. The key is to fix the situation, not the person?whether that means changing how you behave, bringing another person into the mix, or revamping entire plans.

The GM Experiment

The General Motors plant in Fremont was a disaster. "Everything was a fight," the head of the union admits. "They spent more time on grievances and on things like that than they did on producing cars. They had strikes all the time. It was just chaos constantly. ?It was considered the worst workforce in the automobile industry in the United States."

"One of the expressions was, you can buy anything you want in the GM plant in Fremont," adds Jeffrey Liker, a professor who studied the plant. "If you want sex, if you want drugs, if you want alcohol, it's there. During breaks, during lunch time, if you want to gamble illegally-any illegal activity was available for the asking within that plant." Absenteeism was so bad that some mornings they didn't have enough employees to start the assembly line; they had to go across the street and drag people out of the bar.

When management tried to punish workers, workers tried to punish them right back: scratching cars, loosening parts in hard-to-reach places, filing union grievances, sometimes even building cars unsafely. It was war.

In 1982, GM finally closed the plant. But the very next year, when Toyota was planning to start its first plant in the US, it decided to partner with GM to reopen it, hiring back the same old disastrous workers into the very same jobs. And so began the most fascinating experiment in management history.

Toyota flew this rowdy crew to Japan, to see an entirely different way of working: The Toyota Way. At Toyota, labor and management considered themselves on the same team; when workers got stuck, managers didn't yell at them, but asked how they could help and solicited suggestions. It was a revelation. "You had union workers-grizzled old folks that had worked on the plant floor for 30 years, and they were hugging their Japanese counterparts, just absolutely in tears," recalls their Toyota trainer. "And it might sound flowery to say 25 years later, but they had had such a powerful emotional experience of learning a new way of working, a way that people could actually work together collaboratively?as a team."

Three months after they got back to the US and reopened the plant, everything had changed. Grievances and absenteeism fell away and workers started saying they actually enjoyed coming to work. The Fremont factory, once one of the worst in the US, had skyrocketed to become the best. The cars they made got near-perfect quality ratings. And the cost to make them had plummeted. It wasn't the workers who were the problem; it was the system.1

An organization is not just a pile of people, it's also a set of structures. It's almost like a machine made of men and women. Think of an assembly line. If you just took a bunch of people and threw them in a warehouse with a bunch of car parts and a manual, it'd probably be a disaster. Instead, a careful structure has been built: car parts roll down on a conveyor belt, each worker does one step of the process, everything is carefully designed and routinized. Order out of chaos.

Fixing the Machine

And when the system isn't working, it doesn't make sense to just yell at the people in it?any more than you'd try to fix a machine by yelling at the gears. True, sometimes you have the wrong gears and need to replace them, but more often you're just using them in the wrong way. When there's a problem, you shouldn't get angry with the gears?you should fix the machine.

If you have goals in life, you're probably going to need some sort of organization. Even if it's an organization of just you, it's still helpful to think of it as a kind of machine. You don't need to do every part of the process yourself?you just need to set up the machine so that the right outcomes happen.

For example, let's say you want to build a treehouse in the backyard. You're great at sawing and hammering, but architecture is not your forte. You build and build, but the treehouses keep falling down. Sure, you can try to get better at architecture, develop a better design, but you can also step back, look at the machine as a whole, and decide to fire yourself as the architect. Instead, you find a friend who loves that sort of thing to design the treehouse for you and you stick to actually building it. After all, your goal was to build a treehouse whose design you like?does it really matter whether you're the one who actually designed it?2

Or let's say you really want to get in shape, but never remember to exercise. You can keep beating yourself up for your forgetfulness, or you can put a system in place. Maybe you have your roommate check to see that you exercise before you leave your house in the morning or you set a regular time to consistently go to the gym together. Life isn't a high school exam; you don't have to solve your problems on your own.

Fundamental Attribution Error

In 1967, Edward Jones and Victor Harris gathered a group of college students and asked them to judge another student's exam (the student was a fictional character, but let's call him Jim). The exam always had one question, asking Jim to write an essay on Fidel Castro "as if [he] were giving the opening statement in a debate." But what sort of essay Jim was supposed to write varied: some of them required Jim to write a defense of Castro, others required Jim to write a critique of Castro, the rest left the choice up to Jim. The kids in the experiment were asked to read Jim's essay and then were asked whether they thought Jim himself was pro- or anti-Castro.

Jones and Harris weren't expecting any shocking results here; their goal was just to show the obvious: that people would conclude Jim was pro-Castro when he voluntarily chose write to a pro-Castro essay, but not when he was forced to by the teacher. But what they found surprised them: even when the students could easily see the question required Jim to write a pro-Castro essay, they still rated Jim as significantly more pro-Castro. It seemed hard to believe. "Perhaps some of the subjects were inattentive and did not clearly understand the context," they suspected.

So they tried again. This time they explained the essay was written for a debate tournament, where the student had been randomly assigned to either the for or against side of the debate. They wrote it in big letters on the blackboard, just to make this perfectly clear. But again they got the same results?even more clearly this time. They still couldn't believe it. Maybe, they figured, students thought Jim's arguments were so compelling he must really believe them to be able to come up with them.

So they tried a third time?this time recording Jim on tape along with the experimenter giving him the arguments to use. Surely no one would think Jim came up with them on his own now. Again, the same striking results: students were persuaded Jim believed the arguments he said, even when they knew he had no choice in making them.3

This was an extreme case, but we make the same mistake all the time. We see a sloppily-parked car and we think "what a terrible driver," not "he must have been in a real hurry." Someone keeps bumping into you at a concert and you think "what a jerk," not "poor guy, people must keep bumping into him." A policeman beats up a protestor and we think "what an awful person," not "what terrible training." The mistake is so common that in 1977 Lee Ross decided to name it the "fundamental attribution error": we attribute people's behavior to their personality, not their situation.4

Changing the Situation

Our natural reaction when someone screws up is to get mad at them. This is what happened at the old GM plant: workers would make a mistake and management would yell and scream. If asked to explain the yelling, they'd probably say that since people don't like getting yelled at, it'd teach them be more careful next time.

But this explanation doesn't really add up. Do you think the workers liked screwing up? Do you think they enjoyed making crappy cars? Well, we don't have to speculate: we know the very same workers, when given the chance to do good work, took pride in it and started actually enjoying their jobs.

They're just like you, when you're trying to exercise but failing. Would it have helped to have your friend just yell and scream at you for being such a lazy loser? Probably not?it probably would have just made you feel worse. What worked wasn't yelling, but changing the system around you so that it was easier to do what you already wanted to do.

The same is true for other people. Chances are, they don't want to annoy you, they don't like screwing up. So what's going to work isn't yelling at them, but figuring out how to change the situation. Sometimes that means changing how you behave. Sometimes that means bringing another person into the mix. And sometimes it just means simple stuff, like changing the way things are laid out or putting up reminders.

At the old GM plant, in Fremont, workers were constantly screwing things up: "cars with engines put in backwards, cars without steering wheels or brakes. Some were so messed up they wouldn't start, and had to be towed off the line." Management would yell at the workers, but what could you do? Things were moving so fast. "A car a minute don't seem like it's moving that fast," noted one worker, "but when you don't get it, you're in the hole. There's nobody to pull you out at General Motors, so you're going to let something go."

At the Toyota plant, they didn't just let things go. There was a red cord running above the assembly line, known as an andon cord, and if you ever found yourself in the hole, all you had to do was pull it, and the whole line would stop. Management would come over and ask you how they could help, if there was a way they could fix the problem. And they'd actually listen?and do it!

You saw the results all over the factory: mats and cushions for the workers to kneel on; hanging shelves traveling along with the cars, carrying parts; special tools invented specifically to solve problems the workers had identified. Those little things added up to make a big difference.

When you're upset with someone, all you want to do is change the way they're acting. But you can't control what's inside a person's head. Yelling at them isn't going to make them come around, it's just going to make them more defiant, like the GM workers who keyed the cars they made.

No, you can't force other people to change. You can, however, change just about everything else. And usually, that's enough.

Dot Earth Blog: Priest Included in Philippines Investigation of Ivory Smuggling

7:04 p.m. | Updated below |

There?s an important development in the global ivory wars, stemming directly from the great National Geographic article (explored on Dot Earth recently) that focused on the demand created by the market for religious icons carved from elephant tusks. A Catholic priest, whose statements about ways to illicitly ship ivory to the United States were featured in the magazine article, is being investigated by government authorities in the Philippines. Here are the details, as reported by Floyd Whaley out of Manila for The Times:

MANILA ? Philippine law enforcement officials said on Wednesday that they were investigating whether a senior priest in the Roman Catholic Church was involved in the smuggling of elephant ivory to feed country?s passion for religious icons.

The investigation was prompted by an article in the October issue of National Geographic magazine that quotes Msgr. Crist?bal Garcia, a senior church official on the central Philippine island of Cebu, as telling an American reporter how to smuggle illegal elephant ivory figurines into the United States. ?Wrap it in old, stinky underwear and pour ketchup on it,? he is quoted as saying, to deter inspection.

The Philippine National Bureau of Investigation and the country?s wildlife protection agency are investigating the claims made in the article, government officials said. [Read the rest.]

6:03 p.m. |Update

There?s an update on another issue that has dogged Garcia for 20 years:

CEBU CITY, Philippines? Msgr. Cristobal Garcia has been suspended and stripped of his positions in the archdiocese of Cebu on orders of the Vatican while the Holy See investigates accusations he molested altar boys more than 20 years ago in the United States.

Msgr. Achilles Dakay, the archdiocese?s media liaison officer, said Garcia?s suspension came months before the priest was implicated by a National Geographic article in illegal trade of ivory in the Philippines. [Read the rest.]

7:03 p.m. |Update

Bryan Christy, the author of the article that triggered the new ivory inquiries in the Philippines, has a post up at National Geographic Web site. Here?s an excerpt:

Earlier today Jose S. Palma, Archbishop of Cebu, held a press conference, ?Ivory Worship and Msgr. Cris Garcia? (see below), in which he reportedly announced that ivory collector Monsignor Garcia had been suspended and stripped of his position in the archdiocese of Cebu on orders of the Vatican. Palma emphasized that this move was not the result of my investigation, which features Garcia, but rather is the result of Garcia?s sexual abuse of minor boys while serving in Los Angeles, California in the 1980s. The case was exposed by Brooks Egerton of the Dallas Morning News as part of that newspaper?s 2005 series, ?Runaway Priests: Hiding in Plain Sight.? My story cited the Dallas Morning News story and reiterated Garcia?s past. [Read the rest.]

Quality Care For Your Loved One Is Backed Up By Elder Law ...

Many senior citizens face debilitating health conditions such as dementia, arthritis, stroke, or immobility. These beloved elders are often the victim of fraud, inappropriate government intervention, financial ruin, inadequate medical care, and nursing home abuse or neglect. They often fail to mention any of these personal problems to family members, as they do not want to cause unnecessary worry or seem incapable of handling their own affairs.

Sometimes, even when caring family members make heroic and tireless efforts to help their loved ones, loopholes in the law make the resolution of many situations next to impossible. Thankfully, with a little advice from a competent attorney, supportive family members can close these loopholes, reaching a satisfactory resolution to most of these issues. For those instances where family members cannot fight these battles alone, a trusted attorney who specializes in elder law can be the hero of the day.

If your elder is placed in a hospital or nursing home without adequate insurance or savings to pay for their care, their assets can liquidated by the court. As a caring family member, you must take immediate steps to secure these assets from liquidation. Recent changes in the law have created new requirements for the payment of elder medical care, including rapid seizure of physical property. This includes financial assets, home furnishings, and all other possessions ? including life insurance policies and joint bank accounts held with healthy spouses.

While your family member may allow you to handle their affairs while they are physically healthy, they might change their minds if they become ill, are hospitalized, or enter a nursing home. If you do not have a legally binding, signed and notarized agreement between the two of you granting guardianship or Power of Attorney, you may find yourself unable to help them during critical decisions.

Without these documents, bank accounts cannot be accessed, mortgages or other property payments cannot be made, the finer details of various personal matters or accounts cannot be discussed, and end-of-life decisions cannot be made. Instead, these important matters will be decided by a government-appointed elder liaison, who acts on the behalf of everyone other than your loved one. Therefore, it is imperative to make these arrangements well in advance. Ensure that you know your rights and the rights of your loved one by speaking with an experienced, professional elder law attorney.

Elder care law is of great importance for those who are already institutionalized. Nursing homes are often operated on an extremely tight budget, with less than adequate staffing levels or inexperienced nurse?s aides. In fact, in many states only one certified nurse could be present in an entire facility. In some cases the majority of nursing home care is conducted by people who were hired straight off the street, without any prior elder care experience whatsoever.

When elder care abuse or neglect is discovered, nursing homes quickly jump to their defense, making logical excuses for bruises, bed sores, or psychological trauma. In some cases, documentation of care or treatment schedules are doctored in order to appear legitimate and within the letter of the law. Add to this fact that nursing homes are required to provide, on average, only 45 minutes of care per day per patient, and it quickly becomes obvious that legal help is not only desirable, but necessary.

If you or someone you know are facing an elder care issue or have questions about elder law, contact a competent attorney right away. Remember, in many cases timing is of the essence. Neglecting to take critical steps could make all the difference. After all, you?ll want to shield your elder from harm rather than relinquishing all rights and responsibilities to an uncaring government.

Zampost, Professional Insurance ink deal | Times of Zambia

By GIDEON THOLE? ?

THE Zambia Postal Services Corporation (Zampost) and Professional Insurance Company have entered a one-year renewable contract which will see post offices through out the country start selling vehicle insurance policies to motorists.

Zampost postmaster general McPherson Chanda said in Ndola yesterday that the provision of insurance policies to motorists was part of his company?s strategy to create value for its customers by transforming the post office into a one-stop shop, and ensuring that customers who came to buy road tax through the Zampost and Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) agreement for example do not queue up twice.

?The provision of the sale of road tax and motor insurance selling services will make the post office the centre of consumer services and products creating a one-stop shop which grows as we embark on the quest to form more strategic business partnerships with other partners,? he said.

Mr Chanda said the response from the public was favourable and the number of motorists seeking the services was expected to increase as the quarter came to an end.

?We expect overwhelming response towards the end of this quarter because most motorists in this country have a tendency to seek these services shortly before the official quarterly deadline,? he said.

The selling of insurance services is the latest service being provided under the postal services transformation programme which was currently underway.

Last month Zampost and RTSA entered into a one-year renewable motor tax sale agreement which has started with a total of 90 post offices spread across the country?s 10 provinces.

?Motor vehicle licensing has now been made easier and more convenient because apart from paying for road licences, customers can now insure their vehicles from the nearest post office,? Mr Chanda said.

Zampost has also been providing various consumer services on behalf of the Digital Satellite Television (DSTV) and some mobile phone companies under the one-stop shop aimed at reducing costs on the part of its clients by bringing services under one roof and closer to the people.

Little evidence supports medical treatment options for adolescents with autism, researchers say

ScienceDaily (Sep. 24, 2012) ? Vanderbilt University researchers are reporting today that there is insufficient evidence to support the use of medical interventions in adolescents and young adults with autism.

Despite studies that show that many adolescents and young adults with autism spectrum disorders are being prescribed medications, there is almost no evidence to show whether these medications are helpful in this population, the researchers said.

These findings are featured in the Sept. 24 issue of Pediatrics.

"We need more research to be able to understand how to treat core symptoms of autism in this population, as well as common associated symptoms such as anxiety, compulsive behaviors and agitation," said Jeremy Veenstra-VanderWeele, M.D., assistant professor of Psychiatry, Pediatrics and Pharmacology and Vanderbilt Kennedy Center investigator. "Individuals, families and clinicians currently have to make decisions together, often in a state of desperation, without clear guidance on what might make things better and what might make things worse, and too often, people with autism spectrum disorders end up on one or more medications without a clear sense of whether the medicine is helping."

This research is part of a larger report on interventions for adolescents and young adults with autism that found there is little evidence to support findings, good or bad, for all therapies currently used.

The researchers systematically screened more than 4,500 studies and reviewed the 32 studies published from January 1980 to December 2011 on therapies for people ages 13 to 30 with autism spectrum disorders. They focused on the outcomes, including harms and adverse effects, of interventions, including medical, behavioral, educational and vocational.

Key findings:

  • Some evidence revealed that treatments could improve social skills and educational outcomes such as vocabulary or reading, but the studies were generally small and had limited follow-up.
  • Limited evidence supports the use of medical interventions in adolescents and young adults with autism. The most consistent findings were identified for the effects of antipsychotic medications on reducing problem behaviors that tend to occur with autism, such as irritability and aggression. Harms associated with medications included sedation and weight gain.
  • Only five articles tested vocational interventions, all of which suggested that certain vocational interventions may be effective for certain individuals, but each study had significant flaws that limited the researchers' confidence in their conclusions. The findings on vocational interventions were featured in the Aug. 27 issue of Pediatrics.

Although the prevalence of autism is on the rise, much remains to be discovered when it comes to interventions for this population, the researchers concluded.

As recently as the 1970s, autism was believed to affect just one in 2,000 children, but newly released data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that one in 88 children has an autism spectrum disorder. Boys with autism outnumber girls 5-to-1, which estimates that one in 54 boys in the United States has autism.

Additional investigators on this report include Melissa McPheeters, Ph.D., MPH, director of Vanderbilt's Evidence-Based Practice Center and senior author; Zachary Warren, Ph.D., director of the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center's Treatment and Research Institute for Autism Spectrum Disorders; Julie Lounds Taylor, Ph.D., assistant professor of Pediatrics and Special Education and lead author; Dwayne Dove, M.D., Ph.D., fellow in Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics; Nila Sathe, M.S., M.L.I.S., program manager, Institute for Medicine and Public Health; and Rebecca Jerome, M.L.I.S., MPH, assistant director, Eskind Biomedical Library.

Their research, Interventions for Adolescents and Young Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders, was funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's Effective Health Care Program and conducted through Vanderbilt's Evidence-Based Practice Center.
