Imagine the same team building work in a business unit of people who have a great sense of hope for a good future…they might not know how to achieve it or which strategies will work yet they feel hope that they and their business unit can thrive. <a class="more-link" href="http://www.genuinecontactway.com/blog/the-hope-factor-as-a-leadership-competency">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In order for an organization to move forward without unnecessary and long term damage, it is imperative that we offer the opportunity for conversations that are based on emotions, and thus it is not as helpful to stay with language and concepts that are based in the head, when the people involved are very much feeling the change in their hearts. <a class="more-link" href="http://www.genuinecontactway.com/blog/grief-is-grief">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think that the greatest amount of conflict is a person’s conflict within his or her own self. In some people, this shows up as the inner voice gets into judgment with self criticism. In other people, it shows up as worry. And in other people it can show up as feelings of inadequacy and more. The conflict that is within a person has a way of showing up outside of the person too in situations in life including situations at work. <a class="more-link" href="http://www.genuinecontactway.com/blog/the-greatest-conflict-conflict-with-self">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was recently coaching a young leader who had taken some kind of a self awareness test that provided her with the information that she is a conflict avoider. She was quite disturbed by this as she knows that as a leader, this is not a useful trait. She has been committed to a way of living of ‘live and let live’. <a class="more-link" href="http://www.genuinecontactway.com/blog/is-live-and-let-live-useful-for-leaders">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
