WHOLE PERSON PORTFOLIO


INTRODUCTION TO LEADERSHIP BECOMES A CHOICE!

  • Contact for further information: David Eggleton
  • The mission of Leadership Becomes a Choice! is to steadily spread awareness of and commitment to a particular paradigm of the human being, the whole person paradigm.
  • For Stephen Covey, "interdependence is a higher value than independence.  When properly understood, synergy is the highest activity in all life." We are moving from an age of energy to an age of synergy.  That's why Covey's work is relevant for Transition and sustainable communities.  More in this discussion

Stephen M.R. Covey

Why trust matters so much in business
CNNMoney
January 27, 2012: 12:02 PM ET

Our Weekly Read column features Fortune staffers' and contributors' takes on recently published books about the business world and beyond. We've invited the entire Fortunefamily -- from our writers and editors to our photo editors and designers -- to weigh in on books of their choosing based on their individual tastes or curiosities. In this installment, reporter Caitlin Keating reviews Smart Trust, The Trustworthy Leader, and The Progress Principle, three new books that address the role that trust and related emotional issues play in business success.

FORTUNE -- In business as in private life, all successful relationships run on trust. Yet we often get trust wrong, giving it either too readily or too stingily. From Bernie Madoff to the mortgage industry, con artists have always operated by persuading naïve investors to give their trust. On the other hand, relationships often fail because one or both parties are afraid to give trust.

Covey's organization has announced a 175 city tour with a complimentary 2.5 hour exploration of 5 choices to extraordinary productivity.  Learn more and register here.  Remember, Covey is dedicated to production capability as well; the near term and depletion are neither foremost nor commended.

With this I'm anticipating a discrepancy you will notice:  the Google Alerts will feature (whole person paradigm), not (habit or habits).  Neither I nor Les can edit the message here that was supplied by Google.  Only Les can access the Alerts Management Console.

On 3/6, when very briefly a group member, Ruth Ann wrote "clarify for me the objective of the group."  It is to promote the whole person paradigm and explore its various implications and ramifications.  One of them is that any whole person (of any description) might lead.  The name of the group reflects that, perhaps unfortunately for the whole person paradigm.  For Stephen Covey, leading is an art of being, not merely of doing.  Furthermore, a group needn't settle for just one or few leaders.

Comment by Bill Eichman on March 6, 2011 at 10:51pm

And what is your take on that cluster of "anthropology arguments", Ruth.

 

The beginning part of it seemed plausible enough - at the end it get's a bit more charged, as it's talking about the power and conflict parts of gender based power and status.
