Equity Series Ep. 14 What does Equity mean from a Political Mindset in Your Organization?

Do you have conflict in your organization? What are you seeking to understand?  Listen to this.

Join host, Carole Burton, as she continues discussing the topic of Political Mindset in the fourth of her five-part Equity Series.

The political framework or perspective is the next stop of the Equity Series journey. Carole continues to unpack the Bolman and Deal model - how managers can view the operations, structure, communication, and processes from a wide variety of perspectives, which empowers managers to build high-performance within the organization.

Carole shares how a company is made up of coalitions, individuals, and interest groups. It is from an individualistic mindset where “hidden agendas” emerge in company culture and during times of uncertainty is when those agendas are amplified.

Carole shares how this model can be used for conflict resolution. Let’s face it, most of us have experienced when the politics of an organization gets ugly and it isn’t hard to spot change on the horizon. When Equity uses the Platinum Rule it allows the shift into the community rather than staying in a space of individualism.

Carole discusses that when you have a political structure and it is perceived that everyone agrees with the “rules” it is where the conflict emerges. She challenges us to remember that every person has a different perception, set of experiences, and understanding of those “rules”. Carole provides some thought-provoking ways to seek to understand. It is all about the culture of the company when working with Equity.

Get a notebook and pen ready for the final Radiance Real Talk action question Carole leaves you with to ponder and grow.
