Help My People Lead! (ePub)

The desire to create this book began in 1985 when the words "Help My People" were whispered in the author's ear. That began a thirty-five-year journey to determine what was meant by that phrase. It happened once more about ten years later. In the meantime, the author and his wife, as well as others, proceeded to create a consulting firm that helped client organizations do a better job to create the kind of organization culture the frontline workers mostly said they wanted. The consulting business prospered, and the author thought for sure he was the one that the whisper was meant to help change in his dealings with his clients. That all changed!

The word "my" shifted to the center of the RGBProZone-a productivity zone comprised of groups that surround an individual capable of influencing others in a positive way because they think differently, thus filling voids. The meaning shifted from the one who had whispered in the author's ear that day in 1985, to everyone having influence over others, backed by authority or reciprocal trust in the direction they were headed. The "my" pertained to the husband and the wife, the parent and children, managers, workers, neighbors, and those with authority and those without.

This book traces the step-by-step process used to begin where you are and never end. It is the over thirty-five-year history of the author and his family, friends, associates, and clients. It begins anew with a new whisper that inspires. Most importantly, it contains a process that shifts the responsibility for change from the driver to include the driven. From organization leadership to those who work together for mutual success. Included is a ten-stage one- to three-year time line to help create a new reality.
