Challenging Times: Ensuring Values
John O’Brien
June 2011
We have important organizational & personal choices to make about the tension between visions that matter to us and current reality. Broadly, there are 3 approaches.
What we can do right now,,,,,,,,,,,,, What we Want to Create
- * Withdraw …just go through the motions as usual (talk a lot about the values or talk about how ‘unrealistic’ they are)
* Shrink what we value to fit inside what we can do right now. [Re-label the usual or little changes.]
*Recognize & work inside the tension to develop our capacity to create more of what we want
