Integral
Assessment: Identifying the Context & Content
of Change
“If
I had 60 minutes to solve a problem and my life depended on it",
Albert Einstein once noted, "I’d spend 55 minutes determining
the right question to ask.
Once
I got the right question, I could easily answer it in 5 minutes.
… It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems
longer.”
When it comes to solving the problem of creating meaningful and
lasting changes,
it’s just the same.
The
master key in making this resolution comes from really understanding
your question, your issue, your driving motivations --
the actual context of your change effort.
The
development of one's leadership capabilities improves as a result
of seeing this larger context of one's problem - and staying with
this fundamental question, 'longer'.
When
90 percent of the attention is invested here, resolutions become
self-evident. Transformations happen. The effect is a breakthrough.
This is the path of genius.
Most
of us though, work in reverse. We have been taught to spend only
10% of the time on the question, and the rest on figuring out
an answer.
As
such, we try to bring resolution to a question that was never
framed right – and one that is almost always -- reactive, biased
and partial.
This
is often a great temptation, as it feels like change. But making
changes is not necessarily growth, just like movement is not necessarily
forward.
An
integral solution can only be realized when really seeing the
larger context of our change effort. It is this underlying
structure that really guides the flow of actions - much like
a river bank guides the flow of water.
The
power to change is unleashed in direct proportion to our ability
to see this hidden terrain - the reality behind the mask. Upon
seeing this, we then have a precise leverage point that makes all
the difference.
Our
executive-coaching sessions are designed to help you identify this
key leverage points - the problem at its root level - and only then
to apply prescriptive efforts.
Our
unique methodology in executive-coaching will help you to
identify your personal self-actualization pathway and the strengths
that can be leveraged towards fuller leadership development, within
your specific context.
But
to really experience this difference for yourself, we invite you
to participate in a coaching session for yourself. We offer a complimentary
coaching session via telephone/ web-conference systems or if within
Melbourne CBD area, at our office or yours.
