How to Inspire a “Corporate Shift In Action”
History to This Posting:
On a recent SIA teleconference call a gentleman called in from Germany expressing a personal interest to find out how he could become a catalyst to create a positive “Shift In Action” for his workplace. We spoke briefly on the subject and I referred him to a book that may offer him some incredible insights.
Acknowledging the Architects of Our Future
In today’s world it’s the “Global Economy” and the companies that serve those markets that are setting the rules of the road or, the “Social Culture” for years to come. In my opinion, there is no single more powerful, creative or pervasive force of change than the economy … and those that set its tone and direction.
For the most part, what used to impact, alter and shape the destiny of a country, village, family and society were the institutions of local governments and religion. That balance of influence has long since changed. We need to be both honest AND pragmatic if we ever seek to be effective when it comes to our children’s future. Today it’s the Board of Directors of those that set the rules of international commerce. The shift of institutional influence is now permanently centered within the conference rooms of commerce.
So, if concern citizens of the world are to become effective agents of positive social change and the evolution of the “humanity our species”, we collectively need to learn where the leverage points of change are centered. We need to know which “Tipping Points” are set … and how to employ these tools of change to affect the effects we say man deserves.
We need to both i) Want to with a passion and ii) Learn how to affect with brilliance the core values, beliefs and behavior of today’s social architects of humanity’s future. And for that, people with passion, curiosity and courage need to rise to the occasion. However, in order for them to muster that essential passion and courage, they desperately need a support network of cheerleaders and coaches. Perhaps IONS is one source for that support.
So, for those of you that might be interested in … “Just thinking about” … how one … “might consider” … going about creating enthusiasm with their fellow employees on such matters, I have posted a PowerPoint slide presentation for those to view and consider.
