The New Agreements
the four Foundational Agreements for systems-based transformational leadership and management in healthcare
1. Find Your Higher Purpose for Work
2. Grow and Serve Your People
3. Learn to Facilitate 3D Problem Solving*
4. Practice a Little Every Day
1. Find Your Higher Purpose for Work
We believe that each of us is here in this lifetime for a purpose and even a higher purpose. Discovering your calling is powerful indeed because it gives your work and your life meaning. When you stand in your higher purpose, the universe will send you what you need to achieve it.
2. Grow and Serve Your People
A great leader, manager or problem solver cares deeply about his/her people. If you can’t care, you can’t lead, manage or facilitate 3D. Part of caring is the desire for those we lead to experience success and even joy at work. This comes about by serving your people and being committed to their continuous growth.
3. Learn to Facilitate 3D Problem Solving*
This single Agreement changes everything we have been taught about leadership, management, and transformation, especially in healthcare on the front lines where care is actually delivered. When one masters facilitation of 3D Problem Solving, one masters systems-based leadership and management and becomes a catalyst for genuine transformation in healthcare.
4. Practice a Little Every Day
Mastery requires practice. Learning to be a great leader, manager and problem solver in healthcare requires practice, especially in facilitation of 3D Problem Solving. Practice is best done a little every day. We become what we practice.
