A
manager meets with her team to review progress.
She's
bright and upbeat and passionate about performance.
Mindful
of the current situation she takes care not to blame or judge
anyone.
She knows that emotions can lead to
conflict so she's
alert to how people are feeling.
She keeps the meeting focused
on delivering results but also
takes the time to nurture
her
people and check that the processes are working.
As she looks to the future she sees the consequences, both positive
and negative, of the actions they are
agreeing.
With clarity
about what's needed and the resources available, they develop
a simple strategy to take
into action.
Before she finishes she
has one last check that she has heard from everyone and that
there is enthusiasm to move forward.
What distinguishes this leader's ability to create
a high performance organisation? At one level it is her knowledge,
experience and talent.
However, at another more fundamental level, it
is her beliefs - beliefs in herself and beliefs in what creates
a high performance organisation and team. It is becoming increasingly
accepted that BELIEFS (together with attitudes, opinions and
expectations) influence THOUGHTS that, in turn, determine WORDS (including the constant self-talk about our self and others),
that finally drive our BEHAVIOUR.
The Wisdom Meme brings timeless ancient wisdom
and modern insights to enable individuals and companies to shape
the beliefs that lead to a high performance organisation.
Ancient Wisdom
The tenet 'Know thyself' dates back to the Delphi Oracle of Ancient
Greece. But even before this, in the Mayan and pre-Mayan times,
indigenous people looked deeply into what it meant to be
human and what was needed to be at peace with oneself and to
thrive in whole and balanced community.
The Wisdom Meme teaches a body of timeless wisdom
that enables individuals to cultivate strong self leadership
though self discovery, self responsibility and self authority.
We teach communities and organisations powerful and pragmatic
tools and practices that connect minds and engage hearts to release
the collective wisdom. Read more..
