The
Power to Change:
Facing Up to the Elephant |
The
whole purpose of our executive coaching program, is to face up to
the great elephant in the living room:
Despite
all the talk of change to transform organizations, to become more
competitive and move from 'good to Great' - the typical methods
of that most companies engage in, these fail to deliver real change,
for they fail to empower one to actually alter responses, actions
and behaviors.
There
are many reasons for this, but perhaps none is more telling than
the vast over-simplification of the difficulties inherent and the
resources required, to make authentic changes. When research shows
that even when people that suffered their first heart attack, nine
out of ten fail to keep up with a healthy lifestyle for more than
a few months, this begs the question:
What
is then the probability of having entrenched habits, attitudes
and mores change, as the result of simply 'reengineering', 'right
sizing',
'restructuring' and so forth? Or worse, because 'they' say so'?
Ultimately,
what really makes or breaks any organization, is their ability to
tap into the authentic power of its people to change and to keep
it there for the long term.
This
is where we come in.
While
cosmetic alterations and quick fixes abound, our approach in executive-coaching
programs is to address the problem of human change, from the inside
out - at the root of the problem. We help leaders to tap into their
authentic power to personally change - i.e. re-energizing the ability
to make free choices, despite conditioning.
This
leadership connection we help facilitate through the activation
of four fundamental faculties:
-
The
Faculty of Self-Awareness: becoming more aware of one's
strengths and the opportune areas for improvement, as well as
the challenges that can trigger regressive episodes - through
360 degree feedback, and equally important, one's own capability
for self-observation.
-
The
Faculty of Rational Conscience: becoming more sensitive
to the system of values and mores in play - internally (within
the leader and the larger social organization) and externally
(in the relationship with the customer and the conceptual marketplace)
- that brings about integrity, right action, and ultimately,
lasting trust.
-
The
Faculty of Imagination: becoming purposefully creative
by opening up to the space for emergence - where values and
perceptions are integrated into a leader's visionary world view,
and new empowering meanings are made, in real time
-
The
Faculty of Free Will: becoming associated in the inner
freedom to make choices by design, rather than default, by infusing
a conscience driven vision of one's leadership actions into
the world.
This
unique philosophical and psychological approach, offers a pathway
for cultivating the disciplines of learning organizations, at a
whole new level. It connects today's knowledge worker with their
own highest inner resources, as to facilitate authentic personal
growth.
As
such, we work on the change
process as a whole - both on the content of outer change (as
the development of leadership habits), as well as the inner context
(the development of one's personal power to change)
