Alignment
The prime objective of any development program in a business must be to align all the people in that business, so that all the energy of the business is focused and directed. This energy must best serve the interests of the business and its activities in providing a service to customers.
My observation is that far too often managers, within certain highly politicized business environments, are so cynical about organizational change initiatives that they actually undermine the process, by not taking it seriously themselves.
They somehow put themselves in a position of being above it all. They want to see others change, while they themselves remain the same. How does that work? What hope is there for better workplaces and working relationships with each other, when people have this attitude?
It seems to me that we need to commit ourselves to be the change that we want to see in the world around us. We need to step up to the plate and take responsibility for pursuing excellence in ourselves. Only then will our business life and our workplaces change for the better.
