Alright, so its been a while since the last post. Perhaps life will one day catch up to our intentions… Perhaps Not!
I catch my self reviewing the outworking of some of our actions in relation to the many great intentions that we have carried. Ok, me not we… So I lead a team of passionate and gifted people, who love what they do and they do it so very well. But what never seems to amaze me is how we tend to trip up over one another from time to time. It’s not like any one of us are out to get each other yet we find ourselves backed up against a wall, defending a sesation of… oh yes, that’s just me.
Anyways, what I am tryoing to make sence of is how it has become so very important to do business in the way that the textbook and schools prescribe. When in fact those very same ‘ways’ are tearing our team apart.
A good friend used to talk about dealing with the life of doing business when the models have unwound and it all just looks like a muddle!? It is the business of finding ways to connect with our people, in ways that we remain real people AND can get on with doing what we came here to do!
In stead we often find ourselves at the scene of a train crash, when our cultures collide at the ‘station’ of our workplace. I guess that is why we have started at the place of work in our journey to discover and share ways that we, and others, can connect rather than collide. In all the sessions that I have facilitated, and in all the people that our teams have worked with, I have found very few, if a hand full, who really carry ill intent.
In the words of Kurth Hahn, “there IS more in you than you think”. Take the step… and let the real ‘you’ out.
Ciao
