Imagine… The conflict that would exist in a workplace where leaders and employees come to work burdened with not just the weight of the day, but carrying the weight of their entire life and even that of their ancestors.
Imagine… An executive who creates division by pitting others against one another for her own gain. The same way she played her divorced parents against one another.
Imagine… A co-worker who wants everyone to be happy and to avoid conflict by telling everyone what they want to hear. A past so racked by conflict all he wants is peace.
Imagine… A manager who invokes fear in others simply by walking into the room, who ‘bullies’ with spoken and unspoken language. A toughness he learned when he became the ‘parent’ in his childhood, just like his father had before him.
Most of us don’t need much imagination. We can recognize these and many other destructive behaviors in those around us even if we don’t understand the origin. We may even recognize destructive behaviours in ourselves, but we can’t find a way out.
We Observe, but we don’t yet Understand. Until we understand, we cannot Transform.
Deilen development is a world class leadership training organization that shows leaders how to Observe these behaviors in themselves and others, to Understand where they are rooted and how they are triggered, and to Transform them into constructive alternatives.
