The Historical
Challenge:
Too often, leaders begin the process of
leading; yet slip into managerial
processes.
Too often, leaders begin to craft strategies
without significant data.
Too often, people are stuck at a point in
time that is described as their significant
emotional event.
Too often, organizational realities are
blocked by historical perspectives
surrounding organizational successes or
deficits.

Some Paradigms that

can get in the way!
Western Business Thought versus Eastern Business
Thought
Perspectives or World Views that are based on
misunderstandings.
Male Dominated societies versus communal
societies
Confusions and Differing Perspectives regarding
Gender Roles
Corporate Business Versus Family Business
Sexual Orientations versus Sexual Homogeneity
Religious Paradigms Christianity versus Judaism
versus Islam versus Hinduism versus Buddhism

Histories that sometimes

create Difficulties:

World War II
Korean Conflict
Western Perspectives that the West is better than any
other perspective
Religious Conflicts (England/Ireland; Palestine/Israel as
examples
Sexual Orientations Equity Battles
Gender Differences
Psychological versus Legal Factors
Wealth versus Poverty
Hunger Dynamics
Money versus Service
Ethics versus Fairness
Unresolved Conflicts

Change and the Willingness to
Explore, Risk, Grow and Develop
sets the Stage for:
CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT

To Lead!!!!
Capacity Development is the
willingness to step outside of
the boundaries that everyone
establishes to create
opportunity for understanding
the uniquenesses and
differences that exist culturally,
globally, personally, and
organizationally!!!!

So We Begin Here:
What do you understand about
Leading versus Managing
What do you understand about
Blind Spots that defeat the
opportunity for growth, change
and development
What do you understand about
YOU and your ability to Lead

What is Critical for

Leading:
Knowing Self
Knowing the Other
Effectively Communicating Listening,
Hearing, Believing
Operating from Facts and Data
Adding History and Feelings to the Data.
Crafting at least three options Best Case,
Worst Case and Most Probable Case for all
International Work
BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS AND OPERATING
FROM A STANCE OF TRUST!!!!!!!

What Must Occur in the

Business Paradigm !!!!

Empowerment
Reciprocity
Representation
Equality
Interpretation
Commitment
Wholeness

What Must Occur in the

Human Paradigm !!!

Discord
Emergence
Disclosure
Acknowledgment
Self-Indulgence
Re-Emergence
Congruence

What happens
Technologically..
Pay attention to the Ways of
Knowing we are not all alike!
Pay attention to the Ways of
Thinking we dont all think
alike
Pay attention to the Values and
Beliefs we dont all see things
the same way

Building the
Understanding
Develop a world perspective perhaps we can
learn WITH others rather than trying to CONTROL
others.
Understand how others Plan and how we Plan
There may be commonalities on which we can build
Recognize that numbers are not always the driver;
themes can be more important
Recognize that WHO YOU KNOW, AND HOW YOU
RELATE TO ONE ANOTHER may be more lasting
than the quick profit.
Sustainability is better and more fulfilling than the
quick outcomeand the discount of the relational
roles of business.

Understand the
strategies
Systems Connection Strategy

The theories that drive are more important than

the technologies that you
employ.understanding is better than doing..

Process Connection Strategy

The Psychological and the Human is more

important than the non-human factors that drive
the business relationship.

Both are critical to the effective

processes of business .
Without both; Businesses Fail!!!!

MALE; FEMALE; BOTH?
