One common mistake I have observed in organizations that feel the need for change is a confusion about what kind of change is needed. In the last couple of years I have seen change efforts fail because leaders were trying to implement incremental change, or improvements in behaviors and operations, when what was needed was transformational change.

In the last two blog posts about understanding conflict, we reviewed definitions, positive and negative effects of conflict, misconceptions, and how your emotional brain processes conflict.

A few days ago Apple introduced to the world iCloud, along with other software upgrades. I imagine that most of us Mac fans will want to upgrade our software and take advantage of the new capabilities as soon as it is available in the fall.

I wish we were as diligent in upgrading the software of our hearts! You probably find it relatively easy to give voice to your “logical,” linear, critical patterns of thinking. Will you allow your heart, your intuition, your spirit, to also have a voice? Continue reading »
