READ THE BESTSELLER BEHIND THE COURSE

Charles Duhigg’s New York Times bestseller sparked a worldwide fascination with the science of habits and continues to transform individuals and organizations.

HABITS YIELD COMPOUND RETURNS

The Power of Habit helps organizations meet challenges related to efficiency, agility, compliance, safety, development, and more.

Agility & Adaptability

The case study of Travis Leach, who made a dramatic change after learning a few skills at Starbucks, demonstrates how simple shifts in habits can drastically alter workplace performance and life outcomes.

Efficiency

Habits are automatic routines that occur with very little thought or effort. Workers at the Alcoa Corporation automated a behavioral safety routine that dramatically improved efficiency, productivity, and revenue.

Engagement

As people increase their ability to build good habits, they become more engaged in work and life and take greater responsibility for outcomes.

QUALITY AND SAFETY

Organizations don’t instill workplace behaviors simply because leaders order it. Only by implementing measures and learning that foster habit formation can they successfully help employees meet quality, safety, regulatory, or cultural standards.

Skill Development

When employees know how to leverage the power of habit they can quickly adopt new skills and turn them into habits.
