Almost every change in organization is associated with fear and uncertainty

• A Child needs 5 positive words to cope with 1 negative word

• An Adult needs 3 positive words to cope with 1 negative word

Leadership in a Global Context

• Cultural values influence leadership practices and decision-making styles, and should be learned by cross-cultural leaders.

• Global leaders are:

• adaptable,

• at ease with ambiguity; and

• have a sense of humor and the ability to relate to all people.

AuthenticOrganisations

• Translates from two Greek words that translate to authentic and vital to life.

• This type of organization spreads decision-making, has shared values, and develops its entire staff.

• Work is not stressful in this situation. It is an anchor of psychological well-being that provides a means of identity and self-esteem.

• These organisations run contrary to bottom-line business practice and make concerns for their people a priority.

EmotionalIntelligence• Society focuses on logico-mathematical (left-brain)

intelligence that can be measured in an IQ test.

• deVries believes that a high IQ does not necessarily equate to being a good leader.

• deVries believes that (right-brain) emotional intelligence (EQ) is equally as important as IQ.

• Since EQ can be developed and IQ cannot, it is very important to get to know our emotions, learn to manage them, and learn to deal with other’s emotions – we can build our EQ.

Sustainable Leadership and Organisational Development

leads to

Confidence, Stability, Harmony & Smiles

New Solutions to Old Problems

POSITIVE SAFE ENVIRONMENT

WORK PLACE & HOME =>

New solutions based on

• Intuition, Knowledge, Planning & Harmony which contribute to the harmonious development of the Island nation of Australia

• Profitability & Safety. Engaging two hemispheres of the brain (logic – intuition = balance. Having better balance leads to better decisions; we are not as inclined to privilege only emotions (feelings) or logic (numbers);

• Emotions = Energy in Motion (to move an object in direction – the right vector), can create conflicts or a positive happy space;

• Harmony –> Balance –> Stability (3 dots are more stable for an object, to find a dot (position) in navigation, usually you need 3 bearings;

• To revitalise the Soul, we need to stimulate the 5 senses of the body. Food is important nourishment for the body; nourishing the senses can rejuvenate the Spirit;

• Kind words, affection and care; feelings of belonging; and involving of the senses through nature, music & art contribute to our wellbeing; and

• Personal development, a sense of purpose & achievement allows us to achieve harmony and balance within ourselves, reflecting positively on our internal and external environment.Balance and the Senses

“There is nothing like the sight of an amputated spirit. There's no prosthetic for that." - Al Pacino’s character, Colonel Frank Slade, in Scent of a Woman (1992)

It is important for us and our children to learn to nourish the soul…

“The arts, quite simply, nourish the soul. They sustain, comfort,

inspire. There is nothing like that exquisite moment when you

first discover the beauty of connecting with others in

celebration of larger ideals and shared wisdom.” - Gordon Gee,

President of West Virginia University

“Poetry and art nourish the soul of the world with the flavour-

filled substances of beauty, wisdom and truth.” - American-born

multi-genre author Aberjhani

Balance and the Senses

GARDENS OF THE SOUL

“ The many great gardens of the world, of literature

and poetry, of painting and music, of religion and

architecture, all make the point as clear as possible:

The soul cannot thrive in the absence of a garden. If

you don't want paradise, you are not human; and if

you are not human, you don't have a Soul.”

- St. Thomas More, social philosopher, author, statesman, and noted Renaissance humanist.

Balance and the Senses

A “One Island” Mentality An Organisation is a Living System within another System and in Australia we all

live on one island

Balance and the Senses

A Cheerful Organisational Narrative Is Important for Survival

Navigation

Why are those dots so important in Aboriginal culture?

In navigation, there is the concept of plotting the chart (fixing position). In order to plot a chart, it is important to correctly plot the starting position.

An inability to plot the starting position correctly leads to deviation from the course and many problems ….

NavigationThe consequences of failing to plot a position correctly

- Increasing the time towards the destination

- Increased resource consumption

- Entering dangerous waters – work health and safety concerns

- Crew fatigue & stress

- Aggression, fear, panic & conflict

- Questioning of leadership

- Detrimental effect on morale of crew

- Detrimental to the reputation of the brand

= Ship is sinking

Navigation

HUMAN ERROR - Mistake of the dot

• A mistake while using electronic equipment, such as radar, could lead to collision, death of the crew and the ship can sink.

• We would not mention war ships, nuclear & oil carrying ships, when such mistakes could create devastating long-term consequences for environment and nations, affecting the entire population.

Reducing costs (optimization of a business)

→ Uncertainty among people, lack of stability

→ Sense they can be easily replaced

→ Affects individuals’ mental capacity to function productively in a work environment

→ Stress leads to anxiety, fears and unbalanced people

→ Depression can lead to poor health & even death

Navigation

This can exacerbateissues …

→ Losing trust in the organization

→ Restriction to creativity

→ Loss of competitive advantage

→ Disinterest from younger skilled workers

→ Unmotivated to achieve a collective aim of the organisation/brand (‘I don’t care’ attitude)

→ Careless mistakes, damaged equipment and work-related injuries, physical/mental digression

→Additional costs (e.g. insurance)

→Disassociation with the brand = Withdrawal of personal investment

→ Individuals & leaders lacking responsibility, honourand respect

Navigation

Navigation

Attempting to reduce costs often comes with a sacrifice of quality, prioritising cheap production over customer/employee experience.

→ Resulting in the ultimate collapse of the business if not kept within a healthy balance.

Stability through Positive Change

Rhetoric & Delivery

Communication & Conflict Resolutions

The process by which message is communicated is just as important as the framing of it

• Body language (55%)

• Tone (38%)

• Words (7%)

• In face-to-face communication, these elements contribute to our LIKING of the person delivering message (Mehrabian, 1971)

• + Liking is a principle of Persuasion (Cialdini, 2001)

Focus: Human Capital

Body Language

Tone

Words

Inspiration

• Installation Theory: Cause – Loop Diagrams.

• Engaging Senses: Arts & bothhemispheres of the brain.

• Office Architecture: Redesign Spaces. Installations.

Focus: Human Capital

The MusselSyndrome

• Employees today are not lifelong employees.

• Executives that surround themselves with “yes men” are being replaced by “idea and information” organizations.

• Leaders today are challenged to build an effective relationship with subordinates who are suspicious of them.

A leader’s faulty personality can damage an organization

and

a faulty organization can damage a leader’s disposition and manner.
