Collaborating to Build a Learning Organization - Work in Progress - Education Week Teacher | Thinking about Systems | Scoop.it
As I grow as a school leader, every day is an opportunity for learning and growth. Working with my colleagues and my team, I know we can build a learning organization we all want to be a part of that both nurtures student innovation and learning. And as my professional learning continues, I will embrace the forward movement as I did as a teacher, fearlessly. At the end of the day, it is all about kids and they deserve the best.

Seeing and Living in Authentic Wholeness

Seeing and Living in Authentic Wholeness | Thinking about Systems | Scoop.it

The introduction of a new idea is often framed with the observation that we cannot solve our existing problems with the same level of consciousness that created them. The subsequent call to action is frequently accompanied by an appeal to change our paradigms, and at other times a call to change our mental models.

Advancing Relationship-Based Cultures: Creative Health Care Management, Mary Koloroutis, David Abelson: 9781886624979: Amazon.com: Books

Advancing Relationship-Based Cultures: Creative Health Care Management, Mary Koloroutis, David Abelson: 9781886624979: Amazon.com: Books | Thinking about Systems | Scoop.it

The winner of the 2018 American College of Healthcare Executives James A. Hamilton Book of the Year Award. The premise of Advancing Relationship-Based Cultures is simple. Given that relationships permeate every atom of health care, it follows quite naturally that everything in health care will work better when relationships are healthy. Medical miracles, alleviated suffering, and enhanced comfort all take place between human beings. They take place when human beings who are suffering enter the sphere of a group of human beings who are as committed to caring for them as whole, complex people as they are committed to applying their technical skill and knowledge to the healing of their physical ailments.

Face Anger With Focus

Face Anger With Focus | Thinking about Systems | Scoop.it

Whenever I talk about my work with someone, they eventually ask me for tips on how to deal with a difficult person. Often the difficulty arises when they, or the other, lose their temper. I find this to be a very common and important question both in the workplace and in our homes.


A common reaction is to deal with anger by attacking the other or defending our position from them. This is an automatic response when we feel threatened. What if we could experience the anger of others without feeling a threat? I believe that, although it is a very difficult task, it is indeed possible. There are three things I’ve encouraged my clients (and myself) to try when faced with such difficulties; they are grounded in the Eoyang CDE model. First, set patterns of safety for yourself (the container). Second, focus on what matters most to you (the differences). Third, be curious and learn something from each encounter (the exchange).
