Our Approach
Politics develop when people choose their words and actions based on how they want others to react instead of what they are actually thinking, typically a result of self-interest rather than the best interest of the organization.
True vulnerability-based trust provides confidence that other teammates' intentions are good, removing the need for protective or careful behavior.
Productive ideological conflict requires an environment of safety built on trust. Most firms have tension and not productive conflict. Surviving conflict is a requirement for growth that leads to expeditious revelation, the most ideal solution for the organization. Avoidance of conflict leads to stagnation and repetition.
Commitment = clarity + buy-in. True team buy-in is found at the finish line of productive ideological conflict. Commitment at the executive level is paramount to alignment, getting everyone to row in the same direction.
The enemy of accountability is ambiguity. Explicit clarity around strategy and tactics allows for clear deadlines and goals, and creates a safe environment for accountability.
Change refers to external events or situations, while transition is the internal process individuals undergo to adapt. Leaders should prioritize transparent communication to explain the reasons and benefits of change, involving employees to foster commitment. Developing a clear vision and ensuring leadership support are crucial for aligning change with organizational goals and ensuring successful implementation.
