Leading Through Conflict – How Successful Leaders Transform Differences into Opportunities
By Mark Gerzon
Mark Gerzon's book serves as a very useful description of the core skills of coaching when applied by leaders. While Gerzon’s theme is global leadership, his model of leadership relates
closely to the model of coaching for leaders. And it extends the coaching model
even further using beautiful language that gets to the core of the practice.
Life unfolds in waves, like seasons. First we push ahead, accomplish things, learn and grow. Then we pause to consolidate and enjoy what we've gained. We feel confident that we have arrived. At last we have graduated, we have been promoted, we've reached our targets, whatever they are. But after awhile, we begin to notice a small pain, an uneasiness that grows to a silent scream. The scream says, 'there's more'.
The silent scream is the desire to do more and to be more than we are. No matter how rich, how recognized and how content you are, if you look closely you'll notice this feeling. Sometimes you will be actively following it. Other times you will need to feel very closely to know what your next desire will be. This drive is what causes all change.
Sometimes you'll try to ignore the scream. You'll set aside your dreams and play safe. But somehow it will come back, even stronger. Life may throw you extra problems to force you to pay attention. Ignoring the silent scream leads to regret.
So, feel it. Follow it. It is your unerring companion in growth.
Since launching my new website and e-course last week, some people have asked me for referrals to the technology I used to create them. So I have created a new page with those links and a few more IT services that I use regularly.
Also on the same page, as a bonus from my personal internet security guy, there's a clear description of a simple and free way to greatly improve your Windows privacy and security.
What else would you like me to refer you to? Books on leading, coaching, career change? Personal development tools? Anything else?
Want the perfect job?
I’m very excited to launch a new website with my associate
Carole Lewis. We are offering career coaching to experienced
managers and professionals in
perfect job.
The perfect job? I’m talking about the perfect job in the
broadest sense. It could mean no job, but meaningful work to do! It could mean
working for yourself, just as much as it could mean working in a large
organization.
Getting the perfect job could mean changing your workplace
or your career, it could mean managing your workplace relationships differently, or it could simply mean developing something within yourself
that lets you experience the perfection of the job you currently have.
The website explains the services offered, and also includes
a 5-day e-course (no charge) that will guide you through a few key steps for
getting the work you love.
We would love to have you join the e-course and see what you
think. Is it meaningful and provocative enough to move you into action? Go to www.lovingyourwork.hk.
