Stop the Insanity! On to New Thinking in a New Workplace

 Featured Pathway: Stop the Insanity: Leaders Lyssa Adkins and Dan Buchner. Lyssa and Dan want to bring some sanity and satisfaction back to the workplace.

 Join Dan Buchner and Lyssa Adkins for exploration (and practice with!) the values-based workplace now emerging and becoming “normal.” What happens inside of most organizations, particularly large organizations, borders on insanity. We continue to do the same things but wanting different results. Our world needs a different kind of result – astonishing results and now!  See if this feels familiar…

Probably, most of you recognize this situation.  Perhaps many of you have “been there” and are well acquainted with the insanity of today’s workplace.  If so, you know the score as well as we do…we must Stop the Insanity of approaching creative endeavors with hard processes and rigid pre-planned human interactions.  Stop the Insanity of expecting teams to magically produce a remarkable product when they don’t have the essential ingredients of compelling vision, time to focus and one another to lean on. Stop the Insanity of using inappropriate short-term measures that (de)incentivize people from taking any risk at all as they try to come up with new ideas. The examples are many.   

It doesn’t have to be this way (and it isn’t this way everywhere).  In fact, the new thinking and the new workplace exist.  And they are wondrous to behold.
