Letting Go of   Old Arguments

he resolution will stretch our imagination and call on us to think in ways that are both unfamiliar and disquieting. We will be called upon to forsake old scripts and trusted wisdom that tells us:

• Profit will be compromised in the face of concern for the individual.
  
  
• Respect for the individual will be compromised in the face of too much concern for profit.
  
  
• A relentless focus on compliance, consolidating power and "holding people accountable" is at the heart of successful organizations.
  
  

New thinking does not come easily. None of us readily jettisons ideas we have mastered, taught and trusted. Yet we will be forever stuck in the limitations of our thinking if we cannot break out and entertain the possibility that both profit and respect for the individual are compromised when we define them as opponents. We will only realize what is possible when we recognize that:

• Affirming the freedom of individuals to choose and seek meaningful work is the key to profit and success in the marketplace.
  
  
• Assertively pursuing profit and success in the marketplace requires and invites the passion and commitment of the individual.
  
  
• A relentless focus on commitment, distributing power and individuals choosing accountability for the whole business is at the heart of business success.
  
  

The promise and guarantee of Henning-Showkeir is to produce results based upon this thinking and the supporting business arguments. This thinking is embedded in our products and services.
