]]> Comment on Unraveling Social Interaction (part 7) by Anita Shilton http://www.reply-mc.com/2012/01/22/unraveling-social-interaction-part-7/comment-page-1/#comment-3010 Anita Shilton Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:18:00 +0000 http://www.reply-mc.com/?p=3687#comment-3010 These truly are the fundamentals of building and maintaining healthy social interactions--in organizational as well as in personal life. Recognizing how to engage authentically by asking and listening--in order to understand, not judge, makes it possible to demonstrate respect. That, in turn, enables a shift in perspective and can alter the power dynamic at play...and then both apologizing and thanking can flow more easily...once again, shifting the power dynamic toward equalization. Thank you for pulling these thoughts together, Luc--what a powerful tool for executive coaches and OD practitioners alike.

You do need to realize that there are far too many who claim to be 'change agents' who with their -ahem- certifications and then presume to make comments and offer them up as some kind of knowledge when they haven't even achieved anything significant. They speak from their crib notes and think that is knowledge. So their opinion does not carry the same weight as a professional who has done the actual work.
