Motivation, Goal-Setting, and the 🐘 Elephant-Rider-Path Framework.... Behavior change is about aligning motivation, awareness, and ease of action. In this episode of the Product Coalition podcast, Jay Stansell interviews Jared Peterson to discuss the Elephant-Rider-Path framework from the book Switch by Chip and Dan Heath. 🔹 The Elephant – Your subconscious, emotional impulses that drive behavior. 🔹 The Rider – Your rational mind that sets goals and makes plans. 🔹 The Path – The environment that makes the behavior easier or harder. For real change to happen, all three must be in sync. Product managers can use this framework to design better user experiences, influence motivation, and remove friction from decisions.
