Transcend Changes
| |
Transcend is changing and evolving. In our fifteenth year of operation, we've taken stock, reviewed and reflected on our past success, and decided that rejuvenation was in order to better serve you.
Our vision and mission have been finetuned, we've expanded our offerings, changed our look, and developed a new website and social media strategy.
Building on our strategic change consulting practice, we now offer presentations and speeches, sharing knowledge on trust, change, leadership and management. In addition, our informal coaching services have been expanded to include structured, formal coaching programs.

| The Three Elements of Trust |
Trust is the foundation for everything that we do. It is the willingness to be vulnerable to the actions of others, without having the ability to control those actions.
We enter into trusting relationships every day. Some may be long term and others might be relatively short term. Consider when you are driving a vehicle on the freeway. You trust that the other drivers will follow the rules of the road and that you will arrive at your destination safely. That's trust. If we didn't believe that we would reach our destination safely, we would not venture out.
Research has found that there are three elements that need to be in place for trust to exist. They are ability, integrity, and benevolence.
Using the example of driving a car on the freeway, let's examine each of these elements. Read more.

While the jury is still out on whether or not we can train people to be good leaders, managing, the tasks contributing to the successful operation of a team, business unit, and company, is still paramount. Except that we don't see it that way.
I've been talking with HR leaders who tell me that managing is a skill that is in great demand, but not so often found. Years ago, training and development departments provided supervision and management training to all leaders. Now, the T&D department, if it exists, sends employees to a myriad of training courses, all espousing different concepts, models, and content. How can you create a common company culture doing that? T&D departments have gone the way of the dinosaur, and now we expect, or rather, hope, that leaders have the requisite managerial skills when they move into roles requiring them. Read more.
