    Culture and Session Design with Ann Caton, MSOD

    Listen to my conversation with Ann Caton, consultant in organization development and executive coach, talking about culture and session design. This day she was busy working in her office on the second floor of her home in Washington D.C. overlooking her backyard and a school playground. I interrupted her to ask what new ideas were on her mind. I'm glad I did.

    The Gap In Gap Analysis with Dr. Barry Johnson

    Barry Johnson and I had been having breakfast at my favorite B&B in Cleveland when we took a few moments to talk about Polarity Management. Barry Johnson is the Chairman and Chief Thought Leader of Polarity Partnerships. His latest book, And: Volume One—Foundations is available for purchase now. Barry shares a story from an organization he worked with that had a high value for autonomy in their employees and programs. However, this was leading the isolation and competition between them. They had a new desire to move toward greater integration. But, they used a typical gap analysis and treated the move toward integration as a solution to their problem, rather than a polarity to manage (meaning the polarity between autonomy and integration). This resulted in failed attempts to move toward integration until they began using a polarity management approach.
