  • Summary

  • Positive Deviant: An individual or group, who achieves the seemingly intractable while overlooked, or sometimes ostracized, by their community.

    Positive Deviance: The art of discovering and implementing the practices of people deviating from accepted norms while achieving your desired results.

    Lessons in Positive Deviance include...

    • Assumption: Solutions to intractable problems already exist.

    • Practicality: Solutions discovered by a minority within a collective.

    • Frustration: Innovations get overlooked or resisted by leadership.

    • First Step: Ask, “Where is this already working?” Ask without prejudice.

    • Observation: You must watch to learn.

    • Practice: Observation and imitation lead to better practice, leading to better thinking (a bottom-up approach to problem-solving).

    • Difficulty: Outliers can possess a solution to a community problem while not realizing it or while rejecting a top-down system.
