    On becoming a leader, how to look like one! 

    On becoming a leader is based on the assumption that leaders are people who are able to express themselves fully. They know who they are, what their strengths and weaknesses are, and how to fully deploy their strengths and compensate for their weaknesses. They also know what they want, why they want it, and how to communicate what they want to others, in order to gain their cooperation and support. Finally, they know how to achieve their goals.

    The key to full self-expression is understanding one’s self and the world, and the key to understanding is learning—from one’s own life and experience.

    Becoming a leader isn’t easy, just as becoming a doctor or a poet isn’t easy, and those who claim otherwise are fooling themselves. But learning to lead is a lot easier than most of us think it is, because each of us contains the capacity for leadership. …

    Eight barriers to change, #5 

    Barrier #5 is cold, raw fear. You dread a negative outcome that may never come to pass and ignore the probable good that would occur if you did change.

    You fear possible failure, disappointment, rejection, pain, and a host of other horrors, all of which freeze you in your tracks.

    In an effort to protect yourself from what you fear, you pass on probable success, accomplishment, acceptance, pressure and all the other riches life offers.

    Execution as learning. 

    Execution as learning is a way of operating as an organisation that combines continuous learning with high performance.
    Simply stated, execution as learning means getting the work done today while simultaneously working on how to it better more creative and more innovative tomorrow.
    In a way, it folds the mindset and behaviours of learning into the discipline of execution, allowing middle level managers to get as much done as possible.
    The defining attribute of execution as learning is its integration constant, unremarkable, small-scale learning into day-to-day work, reflection of action, rather than reflection after action.
    The challenge behind the concept is for the teams to rapidly collaborate, adjust, and learn!

    Eight barriers to change, #4 

    Barrier #4, supplies perfectly good reasons not to change and encompasses all the “yeah, but”s and excuses you offer to defend the ways things are and convince yourself that change is unnecessary. You know you are finding perfectly good reasons not to change when you claim things are not so bad or could be worse, build an airtight case for staying the same, or counter every suggestion with a “yeah, but” statement.

    Coaching Culture? 

    coaching11

    Having more and more people within an organization practicing coaching skills leads to more effective conversations, problem solving, strategic thinking, personal growth, mutual support, and action planning toward defined measures.

    Basically, the concept of “everyone giving each other feedback in a meaningful and actionable way” becomes a norm and not something that is done stressfully during a once-a-year performance appraisal.

    Sharing insights to foster higher performance becomes acceptable and expected at all levels—up, down, and across. Contact us to find out how you can bring coaching culture at work!

    Precision: A new approach to communication. 

    precision

    The value of learning interventions is to provide us with an approach to improving our communication and, thereby, our ability to influence others successfully. And the closer our words are to experience, the more likely are to be understood. Creating high quality verbal and non-verbal representations of the ideas we want to communicate has been recognised as a fine and valuable art for centuries.

    Lets make this art an easily learnable skill, with the potential to improve dramatically the effectiveness of organisational and personal relationships. Let’s translate management communication development into practical and useful action, to behaviours that managers can learn quickly and employ immediately to improve their effectiveness with the people they lead.
