Normally little to no attention is paid to
those who obstruct an organization change and looks to move
aside those who obstruct the transformation or uses some
form of coercion to get them to comply.
|
Looks to understand why one obstructs the
transformation. Deals directly with those who obstruct an
organization change to understand why and appropriately
place the individual into task more suitable.
|
|
Looks to see how effectively the organization structure
orchestrates the individuals into a harmonized whole to meet
the organizational mission efficiently in a quality and safe
fashion. |
Looks to see how well the organization looks to see if the
individual is able to perform their assigned part and role
in the larger organizational orchestration. This is not
about looking to see if an individual is competent to
perform a given task. Although it an be checked, most
individuals are usually adequately qualified and/or the
organization has ways to measure and check job performance.
It is to look to see whether or not the organization has set
up parts of their organization, or individuals, for failure.
It is about
looking for precursor to failure whether it is the
failure of an individual, the organizational system, or a
component of the organization |

Looks to see where responsibility is seen to lie |
Looks to see how the group as a whole and how many

being or are open to exploring this possibility.

|
No question as to the possible existence of the problem one
faces as existing in ones’ thinking |
Understands the
mind that created the problem is not the mind that will
solve the problem. To find the solution we seek we need to
change our
current mind in some way. |
|
Looks to work within existing thinking and tends to see the
problem as "being out there." |
Looks to create a
shift in mind with a subsequent shift in
perspective. It is to shift from seeing the problem as
caused by someone or something "out there" to seeing how our
own thoughts, words and actions create the problems we
experience. It is a new way we perceive ourselves and the
world. |
|
Looks to get the job done |
Looks to optimize the energy that each individual brings
into the work place and organize that energy into a
productive and desired output. Looks to instill the
qualities characteristic of individuals in an
improvisational organization |
|
Little or no attention is given to the fact that
organizational learning and creativity only occurs in
individuals who learn and are willing to enter the unknown
and become different.
|
It is not forgotten that organizational learning and
creativity only occurs in individuals who learn and are
willing to enter the unknown and become different. It
realizes our individual creativity which is the key to the
outcome of how we both perceive our world and the
experiences we have in that world.
|
|
Individuals are seen as performing an assigned task for
which they are trained with little to no need for
creativity. |
The effort is to
create
a space where people continually expand their
capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new
and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where
collective aspiration is set free, and where people are
continually discovering how to create together.
