It provides examples of how getting better builds trust and confidence in one's abilities. The document argues that getting better is essential for managing change and avoiding burnout.
2. Exercise
The object of this exercise is to develop a
complete presentation of one of the 13
behaviors identified in the Speed of Trust.
The presentation will consist of the
delivery of a 15 – 20 minute lecture
combined with a PowerPoint presentation.
3. Objectives
Identify different components of “Getting
Better”.
Identify the opposite, and the counterfeits.
Describe the concept of “Getting Better” to an
ACP
Describe the concept of “Getting Better” as it
relates to a career as a paramedic

relates to personal life
4. “Get Better”
Continuously improve by learning, growing
and renewing yourself. Others will develop
confidence in your ability to succeed in a
rapidly changing environment. The
opposite is entropy and deterioration,
while the counterfeit is the eternal student
— always learning, but never producing.
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes but learn
from them. Develop formal and informal
feedback systems and respond to them.
6. “Others will develop confidence in your ability to
succeed in a rapidly changing environment.”
French and Bertram described five sources of “Power” in 1959
Legitimate – This comes from the belief that a person has the right to
make demands, and expect compliance and obedience from others.
Reward – This results from one person's ability to compensate another
for compliance.
Expert – This is based on a person's superior skill and knowledge.
Referent – This is the result of a person's perceived attractiveness,
worthiness, and right to respect from others.
Coercive – This comes from the belief that a person can punish others
for noncompliance.
Most effective leaders combine “Expert” and “Referent” Powers in
their Leadership styles.
“Get Better” effects both.
11. How the behavior contributes to the
development of Trust
When a person is seen as a growing,
learning capable person, that person is
viewed as an asset.
This builds the confidence that that person
will succeed in their endeavors
This builds trust
12. The relevance to the behavior in our
organization
“Get Better” AKA:
Renewal
Re-invention
Innovation
Continuous Improvement
These are all essential to our managing
POSTIVE CHANGE.
(Remember CHANGE is inevitable. But we
can make it positive or negative)
14. How to effectively incorporate the
behavior in to your daily
interactions / relationships
15. Discussion of counterfeits associated

KEY LEARNING QUESTION: What was your last self improvement project?
KEY LEARNING QUESTION: Can you think of someone who you admired as a leader. Think about WHY you admired them. Break it down into a “power” Understanding Power One of the most notable studies on power was conducted by social psychologists John French and Bertram Raven in 1959. They identified five bases of power: Legitimate – This comes from the belief that a person has the right to make demands, and expect compliance and obedience from others. Reward – This results from one person's ability to compensate another for compliance. Expert – This is based on a person's superior skill and knowledge. Referent – This is the result of a person's perceived attractiveness, worthiness, and right to respect from others. Coercive – This comes from the belief that a person can punish others for noncompliance. If you're aware of these sources of power, you can… Better understand why you're influenced by someone, and decide whether you want to accept the base of power being used. Recognize your own sources of power. Build your leadership skills by using and developing your own sources of power, appropriately, and for best effect. The most effective leaders use mainly referent and expert power. To develop your leadership abilities, learn how to build these types of power, so that you can have a positive influence on your colleagues, your team, and your organization.
