My Approach to Our Work Together
When I work with you, individually and as an organization, I bring to our working relationship:
- A positive, affirmative, appreciative approach that frames problems as challenges, and that directs our energy towards flourishing
- A practice of listening carefully, deeply, and thoughtfully as you describe and explore your leadership and organizational challenges
- A belief that your individual and organizational uniqueness is a source of differentiation, strength, purpose, and energy
- A recognition that your challenges may be similar to those of other organizations, but that your values, purpose and actions are unique to you. We will work with your strengths, your goals, and your purpose to create understanding and action steps that are right for your organization
- An emphasis on the wisdom, understanding, expertise, leadership and collective strengths that already exist within your members and in your organization
- The intent to help you move from ‘doing just fine’ or ‘doing well’ to flourishing
- A commitment to helping you connect insight to actions, so that you put into practice the knowledge and systems that will help you achieve your goals

I research, write about, and consult with organizations on the relationships between organizational identity, actions, and purpose. I teach Technology Management, part-time, at Stevens Institute of Technology.
My current research focuses on how social technologies in the workplace can drive organizational change, generate meaning, and catalyze purpose. See the

While I admire and seek meaningful organizations that do what they say in a purposeful way, having organized/coordinated Naturalism, Inc. in Chicago late 60s and operated as 24/7 crisis intervention collective, living/working together for 5 yrs., there is a higher value standard or the bar has been raised in terms of service delivery to the extent that it takes an extreme example to move society to change values or accept thicker values.
thank you for your work and it`s worth!
