4 Questions to Ask Yourself for a 10 Minute Reality Check - Arbinger - 1 views

  •  
    Arbinger's new way of speaking about this same phenomenon-inward and outward mindset-illustrates the same principles. An inward mindset describes a mentality wherein the individual is focused solely on him or herself. Again, akin to being in the box, from an inward mindset others don't matter like I do. We are cut off from and closed to their needs and challenges-their humanity. An outward mindset describes a mentality wherein the individual is focused on collective success and wellbeing. A person with an outward mindset is aware of and alive to the needs, concerns and objectives of others and understands that their needs, concerns and objectives matter.

Leading with an outward mindset - The Nation - 1 views

  •  
    An outward mindset, however, focuses on being accountable and helping others achieve their goals and to the entire organisation (OUR results), seeing others as "people". This mindset promotes an attitude where the individual is focusing on collective success and the well-being of others by being helpful, responsible, and makes a real impact on the team effort.

Strategic Planning with an Outward Mindset - Arbinger - 1 views

  •  
    The Zerorez Phoenix office was known as the renegade-noncompliant, though successful in generating revenue, it had been the thorn in the side of corporate for years. Over time, headquarters began to dread interactions with the satellite office, going so far as avoiding communication for drawn-out periods of time. That was until Zerorez Phoenix franchise owner Casey Ashdown got his hands on a copy of Leadership and Self-Deception. After reading the book, it wasn't long before Ashdown and his business partner Nathan Perrins were attending an Arbinger workshop offered locally by Arbinger Facilitator Michael Merchant. The material resonated with Ashdown immediately, though Perrins was initially a bit more skeptical about the sustainability of a training somehow working its magic to transform an entire organization.

Supermoons and Water on Mars: What Outer Space has to do with an Outward Mindset - Arbi... - 3 views

  •  
    Arbinger believes that results like these aren't otherworldly at all, but tangible and realistic victories that can happen at home, in our communities, at work and in the world (and in the cosmos) through the adoption of an Outward Mindset. Functioning with an Outward Mindset means that we're open to and curious about the needs, desires, goals and objectives of those around us. Not only are we simply aware of these things, but we care about them, and choose to be alive to ways we can help others achieve their objectives. We view others as people rather than obstacles, vehicles or irrelevancies.

How to Save Your Organization From Cultural Breakdown - 2 views

  •  
    Think your organization is in tip-top shape? "There's a saying that people don't need a doctor until they're sick," said Sam Whitney, one of the brains behind the Mindset Audit. "One of the problems with an inward mindset is that you don't know you have it. We wanted to develop a tool that could expose organizational mindset really quickly, and would allow people to walk away with an analysis of their score as well as suggestions for moving forward. As soon as you start to see those weak points, you begin to question the virtue of your organization's effectiveness, and that in turn causes you to question your place, and your part in that organizational breakdown. You're revealing a foundational mindset, and bypassing a lot of the common barriers by getting to the core of organizational issues."

How One Multinational Company Avoided Disaster by Transforming Leadership - Arbinger - 2 views

  •  
    The Leadership Team of Spandex, the European subsidiary of an American multinational company, had become highly dysfunctional. Team members had become preoccupied with internal politics, had stopped listening to each other, and had become dishonest in their work with one another. According to Spandex President Rod Larson, things deteriorated to the point that the team became totally unproductive, leading to an inability to capitalize on business opportunities or solve organizational problems.

An Out-of-the-Box Place - 10 views

Once we have that out-of-the-box space (a person, an event, a memory of a person, a place) we can use it to take a new perspective on our current "all hell is breaking loose" perspective.

Framing Problems Through The Lens of Arbinger - Arbinger - 2 views

  •  
    I asked this skilled leader (who I would describe as an out-of-the-box person) to share with me any problem she is currently facing. What she shared was a very common problems in her industry. She then described the problem in a way that would be an in-the-box-way of framing it. Meaning that she located the problem outside of herself. Outside of the leadership team. The problem, she said, was with the frontline workers. If only they could be doing things differently, then this problem would go away!

    Over thirty years of intensive research, The Arbinger Institute has demonstrated that every organization operates somewhere along a continuum from Inward to Outward Mindset. Since behaviors drive results and mindset drives behaviors, the prevailing mindset in an organization has profound impact on an organization's performance and culture. Your answers to 10 questions will suggest where your organization might be along the Mindset Continuum from Inward Mindset to Outward Mindset. The score that is derived from your answers will generate a series of observations of what is likely happening (and not happening) in your organization, along with possible next steps to take in order to improve your organization's collective mindset and results. Please select a score from 1 to 10 for each of the following questions.

    The reality is that whether we were taught by an entertaining teacher or a boring one, we usually remember very little that they said. But we still know so much-driving a car, computer programming, baking a cake, speaking a foreign language, writing an email, etc.

    How have we learned so much when we remember so little?
