What if we could stop the world's madness with a simple shift?Unfortunately, we’re losing our collective humanity through our addiction to “being correct” instead of “being connected.” Far too much time is wasted—in business, family life, education, etc.—because we are mired in urination contests, in endless debate, in bickering, politicking, and posturing. We create unproductive and toxic conflict through our need to be right. What’s the simple shift? Let’s listen first. Let’s empathize and walk a mile in someone else’s shoes. Let’s treat each other with dignity and respect. Let’s regain our own humanity, and honor the humanity in others. Let’s focus on “What’s Right, not Who’s Right” instead, and the madness will end!

Yes, as the old saying goes, “change is inevitable.” However, not all approaches to change are appropriate for all situations. Sometimes, Incremental Change is the right answer — especially when you have a great situation that you want to make even greater. This is an excellent time to look at process optimization (like Six Sigma), or continuous quality programs (like Malcolm Baldridge).However, when you’ve got deep, pervasive and maybe even dysfunctional issues like "Decision quality has not improved, mind you, but the number of people involved in each decision has tripled," incremental changes fail miserably. If you’ve got these things going on, it’s time for something else. Here are my "6 Signs It's Time for Transformational Change."1. It’s clear to MANY that you are stuck.2. Interpersonal conflict has become destructive and punitive.3. Trust is not only absent, it’s negative.4. We’re great at planning — we just suck at doing what we plan.5. The auditors and the legal department are in charge of strategy.6. Engagement? We don’t need engagement… We need results!Now What?
