A command-and-control paradigm is no longer sustainable. (You and the people you work with won’t tolerate it anymore.) What’s being called for is a paradigm of commitment-and-partnership. A committed workforce is much more powerful than one which is merely compliant.  Committed people responsibly challenge assumptions and processes, enable others to act, share knowledge and hold themselves and others accountable.  A committed workforce is a competitive, sustainable advantage.

A paradox:  The future isn’t what it used to be.  The future you see today and the pathway to achieve it may not be (probably won’t be) the future and pathway you will see a year from now.  Being skillful at designing a future for your organization and aligning the hearts and minds of your team to fulfill it is more beneficial, more sustainable than coming up with the perfect plan today.

Learning a new skill takes time. Being committed makes the difference in the time spent.  We will design the schedule to achieve outcomes that match your commitment.  The upfront time investment to launch the initiative (bring it into existence) and get everyone on the same page (formulation through concentration) pays off. As people embody new ways of thinking and acting, the output (results) will produce dramatically more than the input (momentum and stability).
