Breaking Open cover.jpeg

Human connection is the most important of all human needs and skills. It determines one's leadership effectiveness, power as a communicator, and moment-to-moment happiness and satisfaction. But it is massively misunderstood and relatively rarely achieved. This paper unpacks the mystery of connection and shows how to achieve Stage 3 Connection.

Cover Achieving Four-Dimensional Change.

There are four quadrants or dimensions of every organizational change effort: Attitude, Behavior, Culture, and Structure. Understanding this gives leaders a way to think strategically and holistically about all their improvement efforts and saves them from the mistake of foundationalism, which is the belief that changes in one quadrant will solve problems in all the others.

ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND CHANGE

Cover Achieving Four-Dimensional Change.

There are four quadrants or dimensions of every organizational change effort: Attitude, Behavior, Culture, and Structure. Understanding this gives leaders a way to think strategically and holistically about all their improvement efforts and saves them from the mistake of foundationalism, which is the belief that changes in one quadrant will solve problems in all the others.

Cover Why Training Fails.png

Leaders know that many people-related training, change, and improvement efforts not only fail but sometimes even seem to make things worse. This paper provides a surprising perspective and groundbreaking insights into the reasons why this is the case and how organizations can plan and execute training and other change efforts that actually work.

Cover Withiii Manifesto.png

The world and economy are in the middle of a fundamental transformation that rivals the transformational changes brought about by the industrial revolution. Our Manifesto illuminates this transformation and declares the principles that will govern individual and organizational success in the emerging new world.

GROWTH AND TRANSFORMATION

Cover Truth About Transformation.png

In a continuously improving industry, getting better is a way of staying the same. In contrast to improvement or change initiatives, transformation happens in leaps and chunks. This paper explores the science of transformational leaps and what that science suggests for leaders and others interested in innovative, transformative change.

Enemies whitepaper cover.png

In a world of outrage and division, it is crucial to understand how we create our own enemies—in our communities, homes, and workplaces. Even more important to know how to stop doing it. Turning Hegelian analysis on its head, this paper explores how we unwittingly create resistance and how we can create cooperation instead.

Cover The One And The Many.png

Organizations are single entities made up of many individuals. Figuring out how to help the many to operate as one is the fundamental leadership challenge. This paper explores how this individual/collective dynamic—the reality of “weons”—is the engine that drives both personal and organizational growth.

HUMAN CONNECTION AND INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS

Expanding Identity cover .png

Self-identities are not static. They can contract and expand. The same is true of group identities. Where we draw our I-Other or Us-Them line has profound personal and organizational importance. Learning how to expand the circumference of those lines is one of the most powerful levers of personal and organizational transformation.

Cover Bubers Hyphen.png

To a degree most people are not attuned to, we live and work within a web of connection. Relation is the glue that holds the world and reality together. Martin Buber expressed this truth with his famous hyphen. Realizing this and working to improve relation is a crucial leadership skill, as accountability, responsibility-taking, and influence all depend on it.

Cover Coach Copernicus.png

Copernicus forever changed humankind’s view of ourselves and our world. He demonstrated that the universe does not revolve around us, a lesson we too often forget these many centuries later in our personal and professional lives, much to our own and others’ detriment. This paper explores what Copernicus would help us to consider if he were our personal coach.
