Being Present
Being Present
May 6, 2008
From: Gerzon, M. (2006). Leading through conflict: how successful leaders transform differences into opportunities. Boston: Harvard Business Press.
If being present is clearly vital to our effectiveness, how do we know if we are - or are not? We are likely to be present when we are:
- Open to perceiving what is happening right now.
- Responsive to the needs of this moment.
- Flexible enough to shift gears.
- Able to notice if our current behavior or strategy is not working.
- Creative enough to invent a new approach in the moment.
- Honest enough to admit if we don't have a new approach yet (Gerzon, 2006, p.100).
