Sustaining Change and Legacy: anchoring in culture, the long game

Kotter's published eighth step: the new behaviors become "how we do things" rather than "the new initiative." The published mechanics: (1) repeated, visible practice of the new way by senior brothers; (2) new stories told about the change and its early heroes; (3) officer selection that prioritizes brothers aligned with the new way; (4) training and onboarding that teach the new way to incoming brothers; (5) rituals that carry the new way as part of normal Lodge life. Each mechanism takes time; together they shift Schein's level 3.
