Galba this open letter on the topic of creating spaces for change, comes in appreciation for your thoughtful series of 3 posts today on that topic at Brain Based Business.
Thanks Galba for your leadership, your friendship and especially for the keen insights expressed in … 3 Creative Spaces for “Managing” Positive Change. Your moving story of change within the Government of Jamaica - inspires all of us.
What a curiosity building question … Are you energized by the exciting possibilities that positive change offers?
Yes, I am energized … as Dr. Robyn McMaster and I create space for change here at the MITA Brain Based Center through two-footed questions. Our work with university faculty and top administrators recently drew from their own questions that created space and showed the need for change in higher education – if it is to serve learners.
We create space for change though MITA’s five entry points by spotting and drawing from multiple intelligence brainpower for profitability.
Your process of difficulties being replaced by high spirited problem solving says it all!
We target positive changes – and then brainstorm with stake holders and those who will implement these changes. Like you mentioned we also hit walls and make mistakes. Did I just say we make mistakes?
Now that I think of it … that’s likely why we ask ourselves and the leaders with whom we work … Where do mistakes from yesterday meet your talents today?
The greatest impediment to change that we encounter comes from what we term Hebbian habits. The second great wall to change we see is tone trouble – which becomes a silent killer in a group going after changes.
In all these impediments to change though … we find – as you stated …”It’s easier to respect others if you make a habit of managing your self.” I’d like to add to that … “It’s easier to change systems when you create new approaches with brain based benefits.”
Here at MITA … we work daily with people to improve some part of their leadership, learning or business approaches –in ways that create space for mind-bending profitability.
Did I mention this is the most satisfying work in the universe - even after 30 years as a change agent. Now it’s your turn to jump into creative spaces Galba Bright created and tell us about change at your workplace…. Have you considered ways to be part of the process for any rejuvenated visions lately?
