321304 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Gary saying...
321305 -
321306 -    1.  This article holds some incredible promise for ways to change
321307 -        culture and behavior. I think it may lead to new approaches to
321308 -        gaining acceptance for SDS.
321310 -         ..
321311 -    2.  I am working on getting it into SDS. I have it converted to
321312 -        text -- the ScanSoft PDF converted does a great job.

321315 -           [On 040509 Gary references the article in his SDS record.

321319 -           [On 040609 letter to Gary asks about progress on this
321320 -           research showing how language drives behavior that drives
321321 -           culture. ref SDS 16 0001
321323 -  ..
321324 - Language and leadership aid transformation to a new way of working
321325 - that changes culture may relate to Gary's record on 040429 suggesting
321326 - business success rests on lying and exaggeration for effective
321327 - marketing. ref SDS 11 S35M  Earlier on 040214 Gary submitted research
321328 - saying that in the beginning good ideas are often strongly resisted,
321329 - ref SDS 8 N87M, which aligns with his letter on 011210 reporting
321330 - improvement takes 50 years to change an established culture.

321340 - on goals set in the annual review reported on 040102 to use a greater
321341 - share of the 8 steps of Communication Metrics. ref SDS 6 H55F  Using
321342 - SDS for Com Metrics that supports understanding and follow up, defined
321343 - on 950327, ref SDS 1 WO9P, applies the proposition, which Gary
321344 - advances today, that getting things done begins with communication,
321345 - where a major effort is crafting language to guide conduct, both for
321346 - the writer and those who receive intelligence that shapes culture.

321350 -           [On 040509 Gary's review of the article indicates language
321351 -           drives values and action; this provides a path for changing
321352 -           culture through repetitive use of lanaguage associated with
321353 -           events and opportunity.  Change will be slow, but can be
321354 -           accomplished by individuals, even though other aspects of
321355 -           organizational conduct cannot be controlled, which is a good
321356 -           definition of leadership. ref SDS 14 4X61

321359 - Correlation between language and culture developed in Gary's research
321360 - today drives the 3-step strategy set on 040102 to provide continual
321361 - education. ref SDS 7 VS6J  This strategy enables people to
321362 - continually learn by providing relentless pressure from the steady
321363 - exposure to visibility using email that links daily scenarios on the
321364 - job, with explanations of SDS capability in POIMS, and other
321365 - foundational documents. ref SDS 7 8Q3N  Making connections with links

321368 - another way to emphasize the importance of follow up that makes
