This short video explains joint enquiry as a key way that as a change leader you can engage with your people when trying to generate change in your organisation.



This is a big part of what my Knowledge Cafe's about. It also reminds me so much of Alfie Kohns comment:
Many of the familiar principles of Quality management amount to an elaboration of this simple truth: an innovative, healthy organization requires that we work with people rather than do things to them.
Credit: Alfie Kohn
This is the key ... "We have to stop trying to change people and work with them!".

Side note: I have referred to Steve Billing's work several times over recent months. I have never met him but that is set to change when I have dinner with him during my upcoming trip to Australia and New Zealand. I look forward to some great conversation.
