Dear Harrison,

Here's a couple of quotes from your potential client that caught my eye. I
have been mulling over sending a thought of two about practical ways to help
this CEO and organization.  Since it is still rambling around in my pea
brain I take it as a sign to send it on.

 

Finding their values gap seems like an idea that might work.  You may be
familiar with Richard Barrett's work with values and organizations.
Basically, if I understand his method correctly, he has the employees and
leadership team find common ground on values and identify the values gap.
Once that is done, then OS would be a terrific way to address how to close
the gap together.  He has them circle values that are important to
themselves, then circle values they believe the organization stands for.
The leadership team does the same. The theory is that when we work from our
values and they are linked to the corporation values, magical things can
happen.  When this data is tabulated it becomes clear what is happening
values-wise and what doesn't need touching and what might.

 

Just a thought you might have already thought about.

Blake

PS:  Camden Harbor is waiting for you.  Hope to meet up with you this
summer.
