What Do You Want From Them: Consciousness: Left vs. Right
http://whatdoyouwantfromthem.blogspot.com/2012/10/consciousness-left-vs-right.html
Sunday, October 7, 2012. Consciousness: Left vs. Right. What perfect joy comes from being happy! What contentment we garner when the pure act of consciousness takes over for the over worked ego! For some of people, despite the fact that they have lived with the voice in the back of their heads forever, they can either ignore the voice, or the voice is so loud and so critical that they can hardly put themselves to sleep at night. This super loud voice speaks to someone, doesn’t it? What is wrong with me?

What Do You Want From Them: Cognitive Dissonance
http://whatdoyouwantfromthem.blogspot.com/2012/10/cognitive-dissonance.html
Sunday, October 7, 2012. What do you see? The bar in the middle of this image seems to blend from light gray to dark gray. In reality, the horizontal bar is solid gray and only the background is a color gradient. Our brains are quite susceptible to deceit. Just hold a pencil up to one eye and look out the window – the pencil will appear see-through because your brain fills in. What is cognitive dissonance? Relates to mental processes such as thinking, reasoning, forming opinions, and remembering. For exa...

Sunday, October 7, 2012. Our Strengths And Weaknesses Are Known. This is one of my guiding beliefs and I invite you to take it on, too. This belief has the power to reduce stress, improve clarity, and make your likeability skyrocket. Really! Our strengths and weaknesses are known. And we all excel at some things and not at others. We are beautifully flawed leaders, even the best of us! Lisa Haneberg is the Vice President and OD Consulting Practice Lead at MPI Consulting. And speaks on a broad range of to...

What Do You Want From Them: The Taboo Against Being Real In Management
http://whatdoyouwantfromthem.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-taboo-against-being-real-in.html
Sunday, October 7, 2012. The Taboo Against Being Real In Management. An invisible part of organizations is the stress and pain associated with learning the role of manager. For many people the transition from specialist to manager is a rough road which stretches them to develop new competencies and to shift attitudes at the core of their personality. Admittedly psychotherapists and managers work with different populations, for different purposes, and with different contracts. However, the managerR...

What Do You Want From Them: Our Infinite Capacity For Self Deception
http://whatdoyouwantfromthem.blogspot.com/2012/10/our-infinite-capacity-for-self-deception.html
Sunday, October 7, 2012. Our Infinite Capacity For Self Deception. Twenty five years ago, the New York Times Magazine ran an extraordinary article titled "How Do Tobacco Executives Live With Themselves? By Roger Rosenblatt. At the end, he quoted an executive named Victor Crawford who worked for five years as a lobbyist for the Tobacco Institute and helped defeat a series of anti-smoking bills. A smoker himself, Crawford had been diagnosed with throat cancer two years earlier at the age of 59. What explan...

What Do You Want From Them: Interpretation: Creating Leaders – An Ontological Model
http://whatdoyouwantfromthem.blogspot.com/2012/10/interpretation-creating-leaders.html
Sunday, October 7, 2012. Interpretation: Creating Leaders – An Ontological Model. Werner Erhard, Michael C. Jensen, Steve Zaffron and Kari L. Granger have created a fascinating course that teaches leadership. Teaching is probably the wrong word since they use an ontological approach (ontology is the science of being. And their model "reveals the actual nature. Of being when one is being a leader and opens up and reveals the source. Of one’s actions when exercising leadership.”). Via HBS Working Knowledge:.

Sunday, October 7, 2012. Where Are the Rewards for Reflection? One of the definitions of the word reflection is "the bending or folding back of a part upon itself”. In a way, when we reflect, we fold back upon ourselves. The act of reflecting can us to become aware of our past actions in order to impact the future in a positive way.

What Do You Want From Them: Are Your Ducks In A Row?
http://whatdoyouwantfromthem.blogspot.com/2012/10/are-your-ducks-in-row.html
Sunday, October 7, 2012. Are Your Ducks In A Row? It was my first week on the job as a new manager. Program had lasted three months. During that time, I learned how to be a decent grill operator and was proud of my progress. When I took over my own store at the age of 23 (the youngest person in my unit), I wanted to show the more experienced workers that I knew my stuff. I really wanted to be perfect – I wanted a report card with all A’s. In retrospect, my thinking was ALL WRONG. Yup, this pressure of ha...

http://whatdoyouwantfromthem.blogspot.com/2012/10/transparency-is-new-objectivity.html
Sunday, October 7, 2012. Transparency Is The New Objectivity. A friend asked me to post an explanation of what I meant when I said at PDF09. Personal Democracy Forum Conference. That "transparency is the new objectivity.” First, I apologize for the cliché of "x is the new y.” Second, what I meant is that transparency is now fulfilling some of objectivity’s old role in the ecology of knowledge. If I tell you, how can you trust what I write? This change is, well, epochal. He has written for the "Fortune 50...
