6. 15 %
“Most people have about 15-percent control over their work situations. The other 85% rests in the broader context.”
- Gareth Morgon
As you consider the barriers you described in your groups in the challenge, consider the quote above from Gareth Morgan.
Gareth Morgan is a best-selling author and keynoter speaker specializing in three key areas:
Leadership and innovation in a turbulent world
New perspectives on organization and management
The challenges facing modern social theory and university research
When we consider the schools and programs we support, what is really within our locus of control to evoke change?

7. 15%
“Challenge rests in finding ways of creating transformational change incrementally Through 15% initiatives.”
- Gareth Morgon
In connection with your personal challenge or your group’s challenge, ask, “What is your 15 percent? Where do you have discretion and freedom to act? What can you do without more resources or authority?”

8. 15%
Get into a group of 4.
Anybody can work together!
On your own – quietly generate a list of 15% solutions to the barriers listed in the activity.
Individuals share your list of ideas within your group of 4.
Group members provide feedback and thoughts on your list of ideas.
This happens for each person in the group.
Participants will then join their own groups and discuss their 15% solutions to the barriers the group listed through the 1, 2, 4 activity.
