Match change methods to change type: use linear approaches
Match change methods to change type: use linear approaches for clear low-resistance changes, stage-based for motivation challenges, systems approaches for feedback-loop contexts, and adaptive approaches when the problem requires self-transformation.
Why This Is a Principle
Grounds in The behavior of a system arises from its structure, not from (system behavior arises from structure), Different problem domains require fundamentally different (different domains need different approaches), and Single-loop learning adjusts actions within existing (single vs double-loop learning). The principle prescribes matching intervention type to change structure. It's schema-selection applied to change methods—derived guidance not foundational.
