We've used DISC and MBTI for years and would be interested to know the differences between the three tools. Will look into it. Mike, Thanks for your input, too. I'm going to add: "Meeting Type" to our our agenda form. Can you guess that I'm an Green/Blue in Emergenetics? Jonena Michelle,

One other that I learned from the book Read This Before Our Next Meeting by Al Pittampalli was that you need to decide what type of meeting you're conducting. If it's to inform, that's one style. If it's to brainstorm, that's another style. And if it's to share responsibility and try to distribute decision-making, those are to be avoided. Deciding what type of meeting it is will simplify the effort. Mike... Michelle, great tips.

I love what you said at the end about finding "better... different... more cost effective..." ways of doing things by understanding "why". Thank you for your thoughtful feedback.

For years militaries have been using the "why" in mission orders with much success. In addition to what is listed above, the "why" when looking at objectives in an organization both horizontally and vertically. One is able to visualize the nested effort concept to achieving its goals. This simply means the reason "why" I am doing a task is because, if I don't another part of the organization may fail. Another reason is, in the military we use the terms "task and purpose," which really translates into the what and the why. If you understand the why, and use some initiative you may find out the task assigned could potentially be achieved by doing it differently thus meeting the desired end-state more effectively.

I do agree that we are moving in a more positive direction; however, I believe we have to constantly be aware of the traps that derail us from authenticity - our culture (especially at work) does not always support being authentic. I do believe we still have to maintain our executive presence even in our authenticity. I hope you will continue to share your thoughts! Thanks Susan for your insight.

I believe it takes a part of my life. I think we have to be original due to in that way we will show why are we leaders? Also, do not forget that the aim of a leader is to serve the group (helping). -One day I believed I could change the world, then I realized I could not. After that, I wanted to change my country but I could not. Then, I wished to change my community but I could not. With slow energy I decided to improve my family but I did not do it. I was asking myself "why?" for years. Nowadays, I realized I had to start changing myself because I would change my familily, my community, my country and finally, the world. Amazing!

Many people I bump into are trying to hold onto the past instead of looking forward. These are very positive and relevant ideas.
