Integral approach Enabling You and Your Company to Thrive
5 interlinked aspects
1 | Consultant - not being part of the problem and lead by example |
challenge | Practice what you preach. Most managers and above all consultants are not aware that their behaviour is part of the problem as Chris Argyris has illustrated so convincingly in his book Organizational Traps: Leadership, Culture, Organizational Design. "People themselves are responsible for making the status quo so resistant to change. We are trapped by our own behavior." |
approach | Let go of your 'self' or a dominant 'ego' being in control is not easy but this transformation is essential to become really effective in this rapidly changing world. Integrating mindfulness and other meditation techniques into your daily life can help to create more self awareness and to quote Mahatma Ghandi become the change you want to see in the world yourself! |
2 | Employee - empowering themselves, being able to take responsibility |
challenge | Empower employees to become more creative, entrepreneurial and take responsibility again for organisational goals |
approach | Support them in becoming a genuine, authentic leader, and thereby contributing to organisational goals. Guide them how to connect with themselves on a deeper level and overcoming their (subconscious) fears. As Joe Dispenza D.C. demonstrates scientifically: "When there's balance between heart & brain, there's room for real change" (video) |
3 | Management - using context steering methods instead of implementing top-down solutions |
challenge | Stop with imposing control based solutions. Let loose derivatives of the 'industrial revolution' era such as a instrumental, top-down and fear driven approach as they limit long term growth and one of the few usp's we have: creativity |
approach | Create a context that stimulates organisational growth. Implement New Ways of Working (HNW) step by step and adopt a more situational facilitating management style |
4 | Organisation - applying a more systematic approach, avoiding jumping to conclusions |
challenge | Don't jump to conclusions based on opinions but put real effort into objectifying reality and ask yourself the right questions (the question behind the question) |
approach | Improve your awareness to see a multi dimensional, organic and sometimes irrational reality by introducing a more systemic approach 'mapping' reality combined with methods that make you more aware of what's going on on a subconscious level |
5 | Society - supporting collaborations by bridging different worlds & catalysing energy for change |
challange | Connectivity and being embedded in society becomes essential for organisations to survive as the world becomes more and more inter tangled |
approach | Connect with others in ways that create energy by adopting all four principal psychological functions by which we experience the world: sensation, intuition, feeling, and not only thinking. And dare to experiment as there is no blueprint |
