Stand Taking

by DW Green — March 16, 2016

What is the commitment I am?

Two of our associates are attending Amba Gale’s Heart of Leadership workshop in Seattle this week. One of the exercises they will be participating in is called stand taking. What do I stand for? What is the commitment I am? (for myself, my organization, my company, my co-workers, my customers, my family, or any area of concern in my life) The power of stand taking happens when you announce out loud to others, what you stand for. I suspect blogging about one’s stands can be as powerful. Here are a few of my stands:

I stand for love and personal growth in my shared spaces.

I stand for creating a powerful, empowering, collaborative workplace based on love, mutual respect and accountability where team members are encouraged to be themselves and make a difference in their world.

I stand for creating innovative products and services that genuinely differentiate our clients in their market space…products and services that benefit their financial bottom line.
I stand for business relationships that are based on trust, mutual respect, collaboration and meaningful dialogue.

Stand taking is an ongoing process. Stand taking helps bring our inner and outer lives together. I stand for writing interesting blogs.
