Adult Organizations

Leadership  driven by authority operates on several myths:
•  That ordering people about is the best way to get things done.
•  That blaming and criticism are the best way to learn.
•   That your job is to please your boss.
•  That you must optimize yourself and/or your department.

In an adult organization:
•  People are vision and value driven, not authority driven.
•  Building on people's strengths is the way to get things done.
•  Your job is to produce results  (That serve your customer or that help your colleagues)
•  We focus on the highest good for the organization and those who are served.

It's time our organizations grew up!
