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." I had the good fortune to be Geoff's host while he was with us. As curious then as I am now, Geoff hung in there with me as I peppered him with consulting questions throughout a nice Thai dinner.

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.

Join Us for a Ride in the New Meeting Canoe Wiki

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.

Authentic conversations are at the heart of every change effort. I spoke earlier with Michael Fischer from Lyondell-Bassell about how important transparent communication is essential to Important Change Work to do During the Economic Downturn. In this RTSC Spotlight interview I am joined by Jamie and Maren Showkeir, fellow Berrett-Koehler authors, who have recently written the book Authentic Conversations. We cover a lot of ground including what makes for authentic conversations, what gets in our way of having them, and why they matter.

How Good CEO-Board Relationships Support Large Scale Change: An RTSC Spotlight Interview with Mike Kipp

Posted to AIG, Corporate Governance, GM, Wagoner, Videos on April 13, 2009 - 11:07pm

Rich Wagoner gets the hook from President Obama. AIG pays bonuses to employees who lost billions through poor investments. Change is needed in both cases but it leaves me wondering, "Who's minding the store?" There are two ways to mind that store and create effective change.
