This one is a spin-off from a little known series known as ‘Zelda’.įor those uninitiated with the series, ‘ Fire Emblem‘ might only stand for ‘ that game where too many Smash characters come from‘. Omega Force have remained the premier developer for this somewhat niche genre since its inception, with 16 titles in the original Dynasty Warriors series, 10 in the Samurai Warriors series and 5 in the Warriors Orochi series. A number of IP owners have also collaborated with Omega Force with One Piece, Zelda, Persona, Berserk and of course Fire Emblem all receiving one or more Musou titles of their own. Musou games are a 3D take on the classic beat ’em up genre that started in 2004 in the PS1 era with Dynasty Warriors developed by Omega Force and published by Koei games. Return to Warriors-style gameplay in our Fire Emblem: Three Hopes review. If you feel offended if they differ from the original English text, then I am terribly sorry, and you are out of luck.The fate of Fodlan is in your hands, literally. Disclaimer: I read the book in Dutch so all translations of terms are mine. Note that the book got 4.7 out of 5 stars in 377 reviews on, the book is pretty short (230 small pages in Dutch version), you could order it here, here, or here, and you and I both know that it is time for change, right? Bonus question: name the ways I tried to make it easier for you to decide to buy the book. Now go out and read it because if you liked this summary, chance is that you will like the actual book. This is what this wonderful little book is about. When it stops, it will be hard to get it moving again. When the wheel is rolling, it will keep doing it with small effort. This time, a (short) period of ‘us versus them’ is not bad. Make sure the change-supporters can work together. Any small change that becomes a new habit is a win. Habits are very very powerful, because they do not take energy, but changing your behaviour does. To shape the path you can take the following actions:Ĭhange the environment, because looking at the same old things and same old people will make it too easy to do the same old thing.Ĭultivate habits. In order to help them get away from the current situation and moving in the right direction, you have to…. And still they have trouble getting there. They are really motivated to change, they know what the end result is supposed to be. So now the people will want to change with their heads and their hearts. So make sure the people who are changing will feel good. The smaller the change, the easier it is to actually do it. Reduce the change, because a big change has a high threshold to get over. It has to reach them on an emotional level. Make sure that people really understand the need for change physically showing them something, either the effect of the current situation, or better yet, the results of the new situation. To really get that heavy beast moving, you can:įind the feeling. You have to win their hearts, you have to…. You will need more to really make the change. Everyone kows that flossing every day is good for you, but there are only a small percentage that are actually doing it. They will know that it is good for them, they will agree with the changes so they will do it, right? Wrong. Point at the destination: If people know what the great end-result of the change is, they will know they want to change.Īll these things give the people a good reason to change – in their heads. Prescribe crucial actions: A seeming lack of motivation is often a lack of clarity, so make sure that everyone knows what he should do. If you look at what – however small – already goes well, you can find ways to use these to give your change-effort a boost. To direct the Rider you can do three things:įind the lights in the dark, which is very much like how the Solution-Focused method works. Each of the sections, then, is divided into the action-types you could undertake to attain the goals of the sections. The book is divided into three main sections: Direct the Rider, Motivate the Elephant, and Shape the Path. In that I think it reached a good balance between light-heartedness and thought-provocation. This does not take away the fact that several times the text made me think about the changes or attempts I had made or seen made. The writing style is light-hearted and humorous, and I found it an easy read. The book contains numerous stories about successful and less-succesful changes of organisations and their culture. The authors Dan and Chip Heath call these: the Rider, the Elephant, and the Path. Have you ever tried to change something? In (part of) an organisation, or maybe in yourself? How successful was it? How did you accomplish this feat?Īccording to this great little book called Switch, you most probably have addressed three significant areas: the rationale, the emotion, and the environment.
