Six Conversations That Matter SM


The Context For Engagement
 

The Context of Effect

 

The Context of Cause

 

The community is defined by its history
 

We solve problems identified by others

The goals, plans, measures and consequences are set by others

Cost and efficiency dominate

We seeks answers and a defined destination

Express dissent as a stance in reaction to others


Prefer safety and security, choose a predictable future

Negotiation, force and control of resources creates a better future

 

The community is defined by its connectedness and its possibility

We define and solve problems ourselves

The goals, plans, measures and consequences are set by us

Purpose and impact dominate

We trust questions and a defined path

Express dissent as a stance and a choice that defines us

Prefer adventure, choose freedom and anxiety


Relatedness, accountability and diverse engagement create a better future

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The context does not shift from simply a change in thinking. The thinking creates a condition for a shift in context.
