Chris Argyris |
|
Bibliography here |
Argyris is the founder of Action Science, defined by one of
his followers as a strategy for increasing the skills and confidence of
individuals in groups to create any kind of organization (thus fostering
long-term individual/group effectiveness). This strategy applies to any type
of organizational or interpersonal context where individuals are engaged in
doing challenging, difficult things together.
If you're really into this stuff, there's a
free
online course (AREOL) given by Southern Cross University where you get
to interact with folks from all over the world. |

"If you can't measure it, you can't manage it." If Coonradt
didn't say this, he may as well have. All organizations are subject to
getting results, and Coonradt believes that any organization can come up
with simple key function indicators of success that can be translated into
daily activities across the organization. |

Simply, the best goal setting work out there. Fritz, an
artist himself, always wondered why artists often could do so well in completing
their own works while the rest of their lives were disasters. He distilled
the principles (which he calls Structural Tension) into a set of laws that
any individual or organization can easily use to accomplish goals. |

Michael Gerber says that most businesses are not founded by
entrepreneurs, but by technicians with an entrepreneurial seizure. Most
small businesses end up consuming those who brought them into existence
because owners typically lack the ability to set up systems and procedures
that ensure the business can run without them.
If you want to learn how to work on your business instead of only
in it, his work is worth a serious look. He has programs, too.
We use his quotes liberally on our website. |

Eckhart Tolle |
www.eckharttolle.com |
|
In the spiritual dimension, no one compares to Eckhart Tolle.
Somehow, he manages to explain clearly the spiritual principles that
underlie all of the world's wisdom traditions. At the same time he shows you
how these principles operate in your own "NOW" as you practice presence.
After you read The Power of Now, get
his CD's. His voice is incredible. You can actually tell his words are
coming from this place of stillness and peace. |
