The first, Enlightened
Leadership: Getting to the HEART of Change (1992); and, the
recently published Leadership Made Simple: Practical Solutions to
Your Greatest Management Challenges.
Both books were co-authored by
Doug Krug and Ed Oakley.
The Enlightened Leadership
concepts have broken an important part of the code for realizing our
full potential. The learning goes on, and will continue to.
In August of 2006 Doug Krug and
Ed Oakley’s path divided in this quest. The heart and spirit is
still the main driver for the quest at ELSolutions.
Taking this path involves both
gain and potential pain. If it were easy we’d already be doing it.
This does not mean it has to be hard (or difficult). Many of us
have been led to believe that it is difficult. What if it weren’t?
what if it didn’t have to be difficult to have more and better
results with less stress?
Running on this undercurrent of
questions has been a driving force for the life of Doug Krug for
many years. A key understanding is that there is no finish line to
this path. We will never be done learning.
Many organization’s structures
and systems are designed to keep high performance from happening.
Not maliciously – simply a result of the conditioning we received.
Creating and sustaining a culture
that fosters high performance requires re-evaluation of those
structures and systems. To sustain and grow the new culture
requires new and innovative approaches to learning and development
as well as knowledge sharing. Information on innovative approaches
to both of these will be announced in the near future. |
