Our ideas about work are becoming archaic<\/strong><\/em> and obsolete. They lack the diversity<\/em><\/strong> of the human spectrum. The workplace is increasingly developing into a small community, in which employees want to commit themselves with their whole human being, and no longer just be anonymous links in a large system. People seek to fulfill different needs at work. It is increasingly a place where people want to develop<\/strong><\/em> themselves and others, and meet and contribute to others. Where people want to feel that they matter<\/strong><\/em> and want to put themselves in the world. [vc_separator type=”transparent” border_style=”” up=”13″ down=”0″]<\/p>\n All these developments call for a paradigm shift<\/strong><\/em>. The shift from the anonymous, colorless employee to the versatile complex person. The shift from uniformity and standardization to individuality and diversity. Many managers struggle with this shift, but it also has enormous potential. After all, these new employees want to give themselves completely in work: brain, heart and soul! [vc_separator type=”transparent” border_style=”” up=”13″ down=”0″]<\/p>\n With this shift, leadership and management become a new trade.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0It is less about processes and more about human dynamics and interaction. It’s less about managing outcomes and much more about the art of understanding what motivates people and how people relate to each other. I dare say that if you do not become absolutely proficient in the language of psychology and inter-relational dynamics, you miss an essential part of how business works<\/strong><\/em>. [vc_separator type=”transparent” border_style=”” up=”13″ down=”0″]<\/p>\n Too much of our focus on work has been on the competition<\/strong><\/em>. Be the best, and you will automatically become happy. The focus is very much on the individual. The major challenges of today (burn-outs, absenteeism, low work ethic) show that this story is not entirely correct. Competition means that there are winners and losers. That creates an unsafe environment, an environment of oppositional ‘Us-Them’ thinking. Too little attention has been paid to the power of synergy<\/strong><\/em>, to the incredible creativity that safe and trusting teams can create with each other. People at work seek the connection of their best self with the greater We. [vc_separator type=”transparent” border_style=”” up=”13″ down=”0″]That is the focus of New System Thinking<\/strong><\/em>: how do you get the optimal interweaving of the ‘I’ and the ‘We’.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_separator type=”transparent” border_style=”” thickness=”20″ up=”30″ down=”0″][vc_single_image image=”21675″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_separator type=”transparent” border_style=”” thickness=”20″ up=”30″ down=”0″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”center” padding_top=”0″ css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”grid” use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=”no” text_align=”center” padding_top=”50″ padding_bottom=”67″ css_animation=””][vc_column_inner]<\/span><\/a><\/span>[vc_separator type=”transparent” border_style=”” up=”55″ down=”0″]
