Integrity and the Games of Life
A look at the anatomy of games we all play
and a suggestion that we may want to look more deeply at the ones
we choose. (3 pages)
Integrity–The
Vital Factor
In today's culture of pressure to perform, look good, and be politically correct, Integrity's meaning and importance has largely been confused or lost. The cost is much greater than most of us realize. This article attempts to add clarity to the meaning of Integrity, its importance, and its impact. (9 pages)
From
Blame to Responsibility–The Key to Power and Empowerment
Blaming others is a denial of one's own impact and a denial of responsibility. It is a disempowering action. However, it also offers a potentially invaluable clue to what and how one can be even more responsible and empowered. (2 pages)
From
Discussion to Dialogue–Moving Toward Greater Understanding
Much of today's “communication”
has little to do with the intention to expand understanding. Rather,
too often it revolves around gimmicks, techniques, and manipulations
to "persuade" another of one's own viewpoint. Moving toward
dialogue is a way to refocus communication that leads to greater
real understanding. (1 page)
Marketing
and Negotiating in the People's Republic of China

something they are not. (2 pages)
Lessening
Repressed Communication
Real communication sets the foundation upon
which everything else is built. Repressed communication is the bane
of all organizations. It is the cause of the “silo effect”–very
little, if any, real communication between individuals and groups
within the organization. To the degree present, repressed communication
will stifle team cooperation, co-creativity, responsiveness, innovation,
real productivity, morale, and profitability. It will, in fact,
foster their opposites. A corrective program is suggested. (2 pages)
