Thriving!

The bad news is that there's not as much of it about as there could be. The good news is: (a) there's a lot you can do about it; (b) it doesn't have top be done all at once, immediately or perfectly; (c) incremental changes as part of a bigger plan can make the difference that matters.

This discussion paper introduces the pre-conditions of organisational thriving, contrasts them with the more common condition of organisational survival, and outlines fundamental steps for navigating from survival to thrival -

  • Priority management directly connected to what we claim to value.
  • Methodical planning and management of plans for the development of Task, Individuals and Teams.
  • Maximising involvement to maximise commitment.
  • Balancing empowerment with enabling.

Other important ideas discussed include: cultural appropriateness and functional inappropriateness; managing impulsivity; becoming methodical leaders and managers; what leadership and management attention often overlooks; keeping The Main Thing the main thing; where we most often fail to empower and enable others; where to focus change efforts.
