Live and Let Live

 No matter your position and role in life, applying the adage
of "Live and Let Live" can significantly improve your quality and satisfaction
in life. When we are most authentically ourselves, we touch the possibilities of
our greatest fulfillment. When we embrace that authenticity in others, we
embrace humanity and the many diverse gifts, styles, and personalities it owns.
Sometimes it may be easier to try to fit in the corporate or organizational
groove or mold. But we all know that that groove comes with some individuality
stifling and hard pills to swallow. It is true that many have left these
work environments for greater freedom and a greater sense of peace. Their lives
may be more hectic due to the demands of entrepreneurship or business ownership,
but they may feel a greater peace about who they are, and how they choose to
act.
Futurists were interviewed for the August issue of HR Executive, published by
the Society for Human Resource Management. One of the themes evident in these
interviews is the current and future need for management to be more empathetic
toward employees and their individuality. One view, taken by futurists such as
Daniel Pink in his book A Whole New Mind, is that left brain qualities
will no longer dominate and be the most valued skills and talent; instead, right
brain qualities will emerge as the most sought after. Computer functioning will
take over more and more of the analysis and process, and the focus will be on
leading and understanding the human resource.
Another theme evident, as Megan Tschannen-Moran has identified in her research
on schools, is the importance of "trust" in organization functioning. Employees
and customers are happier when they trust their management or service provider
to keep the greater good in mind, versus reacting to quarterly financials with
no loyalty to service and relationship..
Keep in mind how you contribute to living authentically, as well as embracing
the ideas and input of others. You are a very key factor in designing your own
freedom, and creating an environment of support for the freedom of others.
Coaching Inquiries: Are there parts of you that feel caged? Do you long for
greater freedom in your personal and/or professional life? What are the risks
associated with expressing more of your ideas, or implementing ways to work in
greater alignment with your values and preferred methods? Is there a step you
can take today to live more authentically and freely?
