I am now exactly half way through my nine reasons to attend the leadership Showcase: Astounding Leadership Insights on the 8th September at the Dominion Theatre (http://www.astoundingleadershipinsights.com/), and so, as you can imagine, it seems a bit of a slog. Which is why the 5th reason – five, incidentally, signifying the number of grace –Continue reading “9 Reasons to Attend the Leadership Showcase #5”

9 Reasons to Attend the Leadership Showcase #4
My third reason for attending the leadership Showcase: Astounding Leadership Insights on the 8th September at the Dominion Theatre (http://www.astoundingleadershipinsights.com/) was the topic itself, leadership, which I pitched as being of incomparable importance for all of us. As it happens, there is a second topic which the conference will cover that I consider to be almost equally important, namely business development. So I shall write a blog on this as a reason to attend, but not sequentially now (to avoid the boredom of similarity), for in blog #4 I want to discuss a completely different of reason why one might attend this Conference: cost-benefit analysis!
9 Reasons to Attend the Leadership Showcase #3
For those of you who know your Motivational Maps you will know that if your number one motivator were Expert, then the primary reason for attending the Showcase: Astounding Leadership Insights on the 8th September at the Dominion Theatre (http://www.astoundingleadershipinsights.com/) would be the topic of the learning itself: namely, leadership. Of course, Expert is notContinue reading “9 Reasons to Attend the Leadership Showcase #3”
9 Reasons to Attend the Leadership Showcase #2
You will remember the first reason to attend the Astounding Leadership Insights on the 8th September at the Dominion Theatre (http://www.astoundingleadershipinsights.com/) is people. Well, the second reason to attend is – wait for it! – people too. This time, however, in a very different capacity. The first reason was for people as energisers, as modelsContinue reading “9 Reasons to Attend the Leadership Showcase #2”
9 Reasons to Attend the Leadership Showcase #1
On the 8th September this year I am giving a key note talk at the Dominion Theatre. The Showcase event is called Astounding Leadership Insights – so clearly, modesty was never a quality of the organisers of the event! But that aside, and also the fact of my involvement, this seems to me – inContinue reading “9 Reasons to Attend the Leadership Showcase #1”
The Organisational Map and 4 Change Stoppers: # 4 Blame
Blame is one of the triumvirate of psycho-pathologies that worst afflict human beings. If we consider briefly for a moment the story of Adam and Eve in the garden at the beginning, when they were perfect, we find in the Fall of mankind all three psycho-pathologies there in virulent form. First, they attempt to denyContinue reading “The Organisational Map and 4 Change Stoppers: # 4 Blame”
Organisational Change Blocker #3: Isolation
If the first change stopper, dependency culture, is heavily related to Relationship type motivators, and the second change stopper, busy-busy management, is more relevant to Achievement motivators, then it may come as no surprise to Motivational Mappers that the third change stopper, isolation, is deeply connected to the third of the motivational triad, Growth motivators.Continue reading “Organisational Change Blocker #3: Isolation”
Organisational Change Blocker #2: Busy-Busy Management
I looked last time at the first major change stopper within an organisation – dependency culture – and how this related to Motivational Maps and how Maps can help unravel this problem. The second major change blocker is similar: it’s the Busy-Busy Management style that is so prevalent within organisations, including the organisation of theContinue reading “Organisational Change Blocker #2: Busy-Busy Management”
How Dependency Culture Blocks Change in your Organisation
Three years ago I did a blog in which I explained why change was so difficult to effect organisationally, giving four reasons, and citing the great Philip Crosby when he said, "Good ideas and solid concepts have a great deal of difficulty in being understood by those who earn their living by doing it someContinue reading “How Dependency Culture Blocks Change in your Organisation”
Motivation, Performance and Proof
I sometimes get asked what the evidence is for various statements or ideas that Motivational Maps believes or asserts. Usually I reply that the best evidence is the outcome or results we get when we use the Maps; in other words, they work! But that is not enough for some people, a very small number;Continue reading “Motivation, Performance and Proof”
