| | ACTION ORIENTED, SKILL FOCUSED
High levels of organizational productivity only occur through groups of people working in alignment and cooperation. We call such groups teams. In addition, significant change in organizations only occurs through the collective and aligned action of such teams. Groups—people working together—are the fundamental units of human systems: organizations, families, and communities. Yet, so many teams and groups function at levels well below that which can maintain and sustain significant levels of productivity and that can create significant change. People are needed who can help groups become engines of significant productivity and change as needed. People—leaders, consultants, and facilitators—are needed who are able to focus the intellectual, emotional, physical and energy of groups toward effective and powerful accomplishment. The Art of Group Facilitation focuses on developing such skills.
| |  Turf battles, empire building, ego trips, favoritism-power struggles that arise from the win-lose perspective of power-short-circuit organizational communication, suppress creativity, punish those who take responsibility, and produce the gossip and grievances that plague today's workplace. The Infinite Organization moves away from the traditional, finite notion of power to a new paradigm-one that expands and strengthens personal power, interpersonal influence, and the ability to create powerful teams. In this blueprint for win-win performance, Michael Broom details the six principles of infinite power for achieving personal goals and the organization's vision: focus our energy on our own goals; think systemically; learn from differences; operate only from sound and current data; empower ourselves and others to resolve problems; and develop and use a diverse support system. Demonstrating that power is virtually unlimited when accrued through partnering and learning, The Infinite Organization shows how to apply the six principles to leadership, structures and policies, and management practices to ultimately create the focused and passionate culture of the infinite organization.
