Did you know that more people are fired every year for ineffective communication or interactive skills than for any other reason? How many of your projects have been slowed or suspended because of ineffective communication, inabiility to resolve a conflict or a lack in any other of the Soft Skills?  Generally, we hire people because of their technical or professional skills.  But then we are stuck with their soft skills--or lack thereof. And, we could turn that around too, What about the numbers of us who have joined an organization for its prestige and pay scale, only to learn that the leadership was entirely dysfunctional? Many entrepreneurs have left the large corporations for this very reason. But then, they go on to establish companies of their own in which they repeat the same mistakes. The truth is that we've been taught an order of leadership and team effort that is basically ineffective at its core--for it isn't based in authentic professional interaction, but in the pyramid effect. The old leadership is mentoring younger leaders in this old school ethic. But it is proving no longer effective. Its time for us to learn a new order. An order that allows for the powerful productivity of every single individual in your organization--because his or her authenticity is not only supported but promoted. It is from our authetnicity that we produce the most, with the least effort. But the problem is that most of us think that authenticity is reserved for the ascetics who spend most of their time in contemplation of their navals. And while we are thinking that, we are donning masks and costumes to fit into a corporate culture that tamps down the power of our greatest resource. Whether we are in leadership or production, this ethic only creates barriers to the streamlining of our efforts toward global marketing.
