What has the Current Environment Revealed About Your Culture?

We have been struggling economically, socially, and culturally in this current environment since the beginning of the year ( ie. the 2020 pandemic quarantine).  Although the shock has yet to wear off, more and more organizations are building plans for dealing with the moment, as well as creatively trying to imagine and plan for their future.  As in all calamities, there are winners. But this time, it is not close to balancing out those on the short end.

What is that Noise?

When I work with clients who are in similar situations, I usually tell them, “Find yourself at the source of your suffering.” They rarely like to hear this, and now I find myself reluctant to take my own medicine.

Humans Have An Internal Guidance System

We dealt with what “ownership accountability” looks like in action. This level of accountability:

3. Finally, doing my job with an enterprise-wide perspective, that what I do, or what my team or area does, has some impact on the whole organization.
