5 New Paradigms for a Socially Engaged Company

This article raises several salient issues that are emerging as the core of new companies.

One comment sounded the death knell for the top-down driven organization. The model has been on the downslide since the 1990’s. Large corporations will have difficulty with this one especially since they associate power with offices and titles.

Also, this discussion makes the most sense about social media, the outlets, measurement and influence.

Carolyn Myss, Anatomy of the Spirit, supports the writer’s findings as well. She describes how we have moved from a tribal mindset, through the independent mindset and must embrace an interdependent mindset to continue our evolution as people and a species.

Another important resource is Peter Senge’s work, The Fifth Discipline, on the learning organization.

This is a lively topic for debate and I welcome your insights. Please comment below.

Your coach,

Michelle

As a credentialed business coach and analyst, one of my primary functions is to work with individuals and company managers to clarify where they are presently, where they would like to advance, and what tools they have and need to achieve their desired outcome.

I use a variety of tools to assess perceptions including Platinum Rule instruments, my experience and training in assessing behavior. My preferred tool is the EQ-i®, emotional intelligence inventory. I have specialized training on the EQ-i® and DISC Inventories and access to multiple other sources including a company culture index. I prefer the EQ-i® because it is the least judgmental instrument I have found. It focuses on strengths and areas of development related to the goals set by the individual. For example, people are more likely to apply the EQ-i®’s information rather than label themselves by the Myers-Briggs categories.
