Asunto: OS + AI in humanizing politics... longish

Dear colleagues,

I am preparing a three-course program in order to humanize politics in 
Bolivia. I gather the enthusiasm and energy to start this project based on 
almost 20 year-experience conducting seminars and in-house training 
programs in Human Relations Within the Working Environment. I mostly used 
Transactional Analysis techniques and progressively added OS and AI. 

All projected programs last 12 hour and are mainly addressed to politicians 
(about 250 people) gathered to discuss and write a new Constitution for 
Bolivia; a brief description follows:
First program is aimed to Human Relations in Politics; topics to be covered 
are: HR in politics why and what for; how we are, how the others are and 
how we communicate to each other; body language; games we play in politics. 
The second one relates to Conflict Resolution and covers nature, causes and 
effects of conflicts; main types of conflicts and some techniques to 
analyze and solve them. 
Third program deals with Situational Leadership (Hersey-Blanchard Model) 
and includes a test to identify personal traits/style; discussion and study 
of the main styles; exercises and group dynamics.
I am sure most of you know some experiences and/or instances where OS/AI 
were used, mainly on the two last fields, i.e Conflict Resolution and 
Leadership. Please give some references and insights. Will let you know my 
findings. 

Have my anticipated thanks and warmest regards

Jaime

Hi--

We have retreats to get away from the day to day pressures and find
something new in ourselves. We ought not be surprised that much of it
does not stick when we return to the fray.

So let's design these “retreats” differently. Let's still go off site to
get the perspective. But then let's come back on site and live the
perspective for a half day then a full day at a time, interspersing
times—generous times—to reflect and figure out how to make it stick. Or
find another way.
