Kathleen and Geoff BellmanI first met Geoff about fifteen years ago when he came to Ann Arbor as part of our Dannemiller Tyson Associates "Masters Series on Organizational Change."

RTSC Spotlight on Jamie and Maren Showkeir's Authentic Conversations

Posted to Authentic Conversations, real time strategic change, rtsc, Videos on November 27, 2009 - 12:27pm

Listen in to my interview with fellow Berrett-Koehler authors Jamie and Maren Showkeir. I was struck during our talk about how easy it is for well-intentioned, honest people to slip out of authenticity and into manipulation (myself included.) Authentic Conversations are table stakes for any change effort. Without them, it doesn't matter how compelling your vision is. Effective execution is impossible. Change isn't successful. Jamie and Maren share their unique take on this essential element of all healthy individual relationships, teams, organizations and society at large.

Several years ago Dick and Emily Axelrod, Julie Beedon and I co-authored You Don't Have to Do It Alone: How To Involve Others to Get Things Done.

One of the chapters in the book was about how to turn the time-wasting, energy-draining and spirit-sapping experiences called meetings into engaging and productive gatherings.

RTSC Spotlight on Rick Maurer and his Free Open Source Project

Posted to Videos on May 11, 2009 - 11:26pm

Rick has been a friend and colleague of mine for a number of years. He's a noted expert in the field of change and in particular has a different take on resistance. What's different? Rick encourages clients to use resistance as a way to build support for your change work by seeking out, listening to, and partnering with those resisting what you are trying to accomplish. This is the same approach I recommended in my article on strategies to use when you don't have senior leadership support for your change work. NBC Nightly News, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Fortune have all sought Rick's counsel on how to, as he says it, Change Without Migraines.
