Opening Insights – Cultural Sanctuaries <\/h2>\n

Organization Co-Labs™<\/sup> are protected parallel cultural sanctuaries for research.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It is critical that the Co-Lab™<\/sup> remain external to the organization<\/strong> it partners with. When placed externally, outside the traditional organization structure, the influencing culture of the organization is no longer a factor. Therefore, the Co-Lab™<\/sup> doesn\u2019t become infected by the politics and internal drama.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s multi-generational and multi-religi-gender-racio-sexua-politically adverse<\/em> workforce, many employees react with resistance to authority, responsibility and accountability. It seems they only respond well to peer pressure. The FEELING<\/em> of being better-than (bully) or less-than (victim) directs their ACTIONS.<\/em><\/p>\n

Informational Insights – Unseen Offenders<\/h2>\n

These individuals thrive on competition with others and rarely seek to surpass themselves (they don\u2019t want<\/em> to become better versions of themselves). Watch the Kill the Leader<\/a> <\/em>and Passive Aggressive Behavior<\/a><\/em> videos to learn more.<\/p>\n

In this environment, any spark of equality is immediately snuffed out, destroying all possibilities of different-but-equal<\/em>. This results in a lawless peer-driven world (mob-rule) were the bullies have the most say and honesty is shunned. However, the nice thing about bullies is, they are easy to spot because their behavior is obvious, so they can be dealt with directly. <\/p>\n

Bullies are a pain, but the real org-killer is the internal resistance that cannot be seen nor heard<\/strong>. This invisible resistance causes that unpleasant sense of uncertainty, when you know something isn\u2019t quite right, but you can neither put your finger on it nor put your hands on it. It\u2019s the stuff you can\u2019t put in the human resource file because there is no description. It\u2019s like trying to capture smoke with your hands. It\u2019s the un-said \u201cno.\u201d It\u2019s delay after delay because something must be done first before something can be done. It\u2019s the implied blame and the list goes on\u2026 When a project plagued by this resistance is complete, either because it miraculously made it or the organization just gave up, all that remains is a faint scent and a hazy memory of a problem. Did I imagine it? Am I crazy?<\/em><\/p>\n

These hidden employees <\/strong>DO NOT<\/strong><\/em> want real solutions brought into their organization because they would then be exposed for <\/strong>who <\/strong><\/em>they really are and <\/strong>how<\/strong><\/em> they fit into, and perpetuate, their caustic culture. <\/strong><\/p>\n

When an organization culture is built on, or striving for, trust-based equality and founded in THE TRUTH, those with any intent contrary to that approach are exposed as saboteurs. When what is right is accentuated, then what is wrong is highlighted. No problem left behind. Found in the Co-Lab library, non-confronting, non-judging, private and confidential courseware is provided to all stakeholders to overcome these personal challenges without exposure or embarrassment. Additional resources are found in the Employee Assistance Resource (E.A.R.).<\/p>\n
