Jodee Bock pdf P.O.W.E.R. Tools @ Work: Helping Leaders Build a Strong, Engaged & Connected Culture

P.O.W.E.R. Tools @ Work allows any individual or team to tap into the unique abilities that might be looked at as commodities. But with the proper charge – the soul, the spirit, the POWER – any project can be infused with the talent and skill and gifts that give your organization the edge.In the area of PURPOSE, you will dig deeper into the WHY of actions, beliefs, behaviors, and even those deep-seated thoughts that limit your possibilities.In the area of OPEN-MINDEDNESS, you will focus on Future Pacing, or acknowledging those old stories that might keep you from creating the future of your dreams.WISDOM allows an exploration into the past, not to dwell there, but to learn from your experiences and your knowledge, and to take the lessons from those memories into your present actions.In the ENERGY section you will work on putting language to the way things feel so you can alter your experience, if necessary, to produce those feelings you desire instead.And in the RESPONSIBILITY section you will realize that whatever action you decide to take will produce a result, and the effects of those actions are up to you.At the end of each section you will find a list of tools: Conversation Tools, which give you an idea of what to say in certain situations, and Experiential Tools, which you can use in a variety of ways either for yourself or for members of your team.Tools are resources. They are utilized to assist in accomplishing a task. Often tools are needed when fixing something that’s broken, or when constructing something from scratch. Tools might also be utilized not just to fix or construct something physical, but also to assist in building or repairing something conceptually.The title implies that the tools can be utilized at your place of work, but also that they will only be effective when they are put to work. And since most people work not only at the place that pays a salary or a wage but also when moving any project from start to finish, the tools in this book will be of major assistance in any situation, provided you know what it is you are constructing or repairing.Tap into your individual and organizational POWER and you’ll see that there is no place for force.
