Overview

Imagine an organisation that attracts the best people and thrives in today's complex, shifting business landscape! This book shows you how to engage the collective wisdom of your people to become that organisation. It is for those who realise that the connection between the why and the how are key to getting to a different what. The Discovery Prism(c) framework shows how to connect the dots in a simple and unique way. It offers a structured and joined-up approach to answer the big questions every organisation needs to address for sustainable success in the 21st century. The Discovery Prism(c) is about the leader who has a sense of him or herself in all the lenses and enables the creation of an integrated organisation. It is about the organisation as a collective, meaningfully connected to all its stakeholders. Today's leadership is about stepping up and being accountable for the part each one of us is called to play in service of something greater. The best conditions for people to thrive in organisations of any kind are those that recognise individual potential and difference and encourage collaboration to get transformative results. It takes real courage and vulnerability to talk about the things that matter but which are difficult to voice. The Discovery Prism(c) creates a common language to engage participants through dialogue, embrace what is deep and complex and achieve extraordinary outcomes. Anne and Helen bring fresh insights to each Discovery Prism(c) lens. These are: Bigger Purpose and Core Values, Vision, Mission and Stakeholders, Promises, Legacy and Strategy. They offer case studies, examples, activities and questions for reflection - practical aids to guide your journey of discovery and release the potential of the Prism, where all lenses overlap. The result: an organisation that inspires its people, connects with its stakeholders and reaches out to future generations. The authors are co-founders of Global Business Leaders (GBL) and experts in leadership development. The Discovery Prism(c) framework is the synthesis of their combined experience and the understanding of the type of leadership and culture to make organisations excel in the fast-paced complexity of the 21stcentury environment.
