Self betrayal & Way of being

At first, her role as a leader felt overwhelming, and she was tempted to "pull up" from her failing team. However, she continued to address their challenges, needs, and issues head on even though it drained her and took a lot of time. Soon, however, she was able to make decisions that were for the best of her people and the organization alike. She was able to build trust with her team, who soon saw her competence (an underrated aspect of high trust workplaces) and felt her authentic care. The pile of challenges started getting smaller and smaller. She was able to start moving her team with a speed they hadn't experienced before. This leader now has one of the highest trust teams in the organization and is seen by many as their "best leader ever."

Nice visual & simple quote

Think about it!

Here is the link to an Arbinger webinar that will be taking place on July 13th at Noon. Might be pretty interesting if anybody is interested. I (Joe) will be in the U.K., but maybe somebody could organize a group to watch it.

I will be attending, and would be happy to host a viewing. Who would like to participate?

"Your success as a leader... depends on being free of self-betrayal. Only then do you invite others to be free of self-betrayal themselves." - Leadership and Self-Deception

Always remember, that it is progress, not perfection, that you should be looking for.

The story of Tubular Steel & Arbinger. I believe this was the inspiration for Leadership & Self Deception.

Where in the pyramid are you stuck?

The best reason to brand someone with a pejorative label is to push them away, to forestall useful conversation, to turn them into the other. Much more useful: Identify the behavior that's counter-productive. When we talk about the behavior, we have a chance to make change happen. What would happen if the behavior stopped? When we call someone misogynist or racist or sexist or a capitalist, a socialist or an abstract expressionist, what are we hoping for? Every one of us is on the 'ist' spectrum, so the label becomes meaningless. Meaningless labels are noise, noise that lasts. If that person stopped acting like a _____ist, what would change? Because if there's nothing we want to change, the labeling is useless. And if there's a change that needs to be made, let's talk about what it is.

How the simple decision to engage with the men on the street and see them as people rather than criminals allowed a few officers to change the whole dynamic of the neighborhood and dramatically reduce crime.
