These two words, "What" and "How", have been the most impactful words with me this year. They have changed how I look
13+
at, and move through, the world. In almost every human interaction, these are the most important tools that one can use,
14+
and they are just getting more valuable and important as the world continues on its digital path.
15+
16+
17+
Over the next few weeks, we'll see how "What" and "How" plays an important role in Organizational Leadership. They are the
18+
foundation of building a compelling organization, mission, and brand. We'll examine Simon Sinek's Golden Circle idea,
19+
expand on it with what we'll call Silver Rings. These drive the all important alignment across the organization.
20+
21+
22+
Next we'll examine the power of "What" and "How" in the tangentially related topic of persuasion or negotiation. While
23+
answering the Golden Circle questions, "What" and "How" play a vital role in the process of aligning perspectives to
24+
answer those questions themselves (wow, talk about idea Inception!).
25+
26+
27+
After we explore how these words align and maintain an organization's alignment, we'll see how these words are the most
28+
important tools in a manager's toolbox. They can be used to find the best solution to any problem in a collaborative
29+
way. And they are a manager's go-to when coaching Strategic Thinking in their direct reports.
30+
31+
32+
To wrap up the mini-series, we'll examine the underlying themes in why these words are so impactful in these situations.
33+
Taking those themes, we'll see how we can apply them to improve our social lives and the quality of all of our
34+
relationships, not just the ones in a professional setting.
35+
36+
37+
How can two little words be so powerful? What is it about these words that make them applicable in so many different and
38+
seemingly unrelated areas? (Haha! Did you see what I did there?). Let's continue forward together and find out.
