We have no institutions or infrastructure in any organization that intentionally and rigorously develops whole humans. We see the need for training the functional skills, even behavioral skills, but not the management and development of being (choosing who I am at any moment of situations) or development of our will (what we seek to serve and take on that demands we extend beyond current motives.)

What happens when the Family culture announced downsizing. AirBnb shows us what not to do.

Purpose is a very hot topic. At the level of a person’s purpose and being a purpose driven organization. Learn why they may not be the best way to get direction or determine your best contribution

Today we looked at Missions and their role in motivation and keeping teams on course. We look at the effects of external management and motivation and how it is the real challenge, not getting the right kind of external method in place.

Today we look at how we look at Leadership Competencies, where people are assumed to need external management and we work to make it good leadership. We offer a non-hierarchical approach where everyone learns and uses leadership capabilities. None of the solutions offered in the MIT article, when have been tried in every downturn, will make any difference. We share what will.
