Diversity
interventions - Standing at a Crossroads.
Companies
and organisations are either under pressure to transform and include
people from all backgrounds in a fair and equitable manner, or once
transformed are often challenged by poor inter-diversity relationships
and understanding of the need for transformation.
Companies and organisations who need this type of intervention are at a
crossroads of danger and opportunity.
The danger lies in the potentially divisive nature of such
interventions and yet there are huge hidden opportunities to build
individual, teams, organisation and to an extent the future of your
country.
Transformation and diversity management programs that isolate,
intimidate and ignore people are self-defeating. If any person/ sector/
department or group feels threatened the process will be wasted and
more so it could negatively impact your organisation.
The opportunity to build is found in the wisdoms, uniquenesses,
talents, skills and histories of the group.
The methodologies ensure that transformation is non-threatening,
unifying and inclusive as possible.
Learning is fun, motivational and exciting.Inclusivity has two main
dimensions, firstly, everyone feels valued and valuable and secondly
all levels of the organisation/ team participate fully in the program.
“In
our early days in this field we operated through the shock therapy
style of presentation. Some people survived and some didn’t!
The main challenge was that we worked from a paradigm that judged
people by their backgrounds. We now, through studying international
learning methodologies and through personal experience and
introspection, have found fun and non-threatening methods of bringing
understanding, building relationships and accountability.” Brian
Moore - M.I.
Transforming
ourselves, our teams and our lives
In order
to develop ourselves and our team at work we need to develop an
understanding of our dependency, independency and inter-dependency.
Once we understand that we need each other to survive and succeed we
will observe that our actions, positive or negative, impact ourselves,
our teams and our dependents.
It is true that the quality of life that we lead, the clothes that we
wear, the humanity that we exude, the food on our table, the education
of our family depends on the quality of our relationships within and
outside of the workplace.
When seen in this context we begin to understand that there is a vital
need for teamwork for us all to succeed. And the more diverse the
backgrounds, skills and talents of the team, the more we win. The
challenge is that diverse teams will only win through respect,
tolerance and understanding and that is our starting point.
Knowing
who we are...
An
ongoing process of humanisation and communication builds the group at a
human level. Communicating and developing understanding of the
commonalities and uniquenesses that we all bring.
The next steps would be to develop an understanding of our
intra-personal uniqueness and the ability to assess the uniqueness in
other people in terms of their personality types and learning/
communication styles.
These simple skills will develop and enhance interpersonal
understanding and communication.
Accountability
for who we are...
When we
take responsibility for our attitudes, our communication and our
behaviour we can create a safe environment for ourselves, our families
and other people.
To further develop a nurturing environment we develop problem-solving
and solution-finding skills and learn to handle reactions to external
stimuli.
Often we act out of historical programming when a short time for
thought will break the cycle of anger. When we use the feeling of anger
as a signal for thought, "Why am I feeling this anger?" or "Is this
person saying this to hurt me?", we have an opportunity to respond
rather than react.
This can saves lives, families, sales and relationships!Who adds to me
and what do we contribute from our backgrounds, cultures, experience
and traditions?
Through enjoyable, safe and non-threatening methodologies and processes
we are able to learn - from each other - more about our lives, history,
cultures and religions. In teams, selected by delegates on the basis of
"who adds to me", we are able to compete in fun and respectful ways on
issues of diversity.
In this way a safe environment of communication and life-long learning
is created.As these processes unfold team members will begin to
identify and break down old prejudicial paradigms and the foundations
are laid for an ongoing respect based inter-personal team agreement.
At this point the 2 day Foundation© session ends.
Accountability
for how we behave.
(1 day -
Values Circle Process - by team and/ or department)
"At the
level of respect all people are equal."
Most
companies and organisation send down a list of management-decided
values.
Very few people know, remember and subscribe to the values, especially
management. These values are only paraded at disciplinary hearings. In
order for individual change to be perpetuated within the team it is
critical that the environment is kept safe and empowering by a
team-decided and managed set of interpersonal values.
These values are set to manage how team members interact and do not
impact or negate corporate values.
This people-centred guidance system, if properly designed and
implemented, will develop an ethic of praising and honouring the
praiseworthy.Those who have personal challenges will often need
professional support and those who continuously break the rules must be
disciplined.
Regular meeting time must be committed to allow the development of
understanding and to offer guidance to those who break their
self-chosen values.
The greater team manages the ongoing process offering support, guidance
and discipline in a properly constituted system. In this way we will
have developed accountability and responsibility for our actions,
within our team and an ongoing values structures to maintain respect
and teamwork at the level of human interaction.
This will definitely and positively impact family and social
interactions.A good leadership team will be part of the development and
ongoing implementation of the program and will be subject to the
decisions of the structure.
A follow-up team-build, assessment and adjustment program known as the
Gathering© is facilitated approximately 12 months after the
Values Circle process is formally constituted.
With a 1 year history of monthly meetings, individuals and groups will
have transformed substantially and be ready to cement the process into
the future.
Through
the Transformational Team-building© program Celebrating
Humanity©, people will understand their amazing relevance as
individuals, team members & members of their organisations
