Leg Two - Learning to Be Better Partners

Humankind achieves the majority of its purposes as an outcome of partnerships between individuals committed to achieving a shared purpose. This involves all forms of partnership. For the well-being of our society one of the most important partnerships is that between a committed couple who choose to share their life together. It applies to the relationship between them and their family members and in their social life.

It is in our relationships when there is disharmony that we have the chance to learn to love each other by seeking what’s right rather than who is right and seeking the options with love in our heart. Too often personal disagreements deteriorate into arguments and anger and an absence of love. In the workplace people need to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of partnerships, and thus the prosperity of the workplace and our society. Business organizations seek to thrive in an increasingly competitive world, and to achieve this they need to fully utilize their resources and particularly their human resources. Business organizations need to realize that to fully utilize their human resources they have to create a partnership culture in which people can fully utilize their professional skills and creative wisdom. By creating a partnership culture, they are facilitating the ability for employees to learn and grow and evolve and enhance their capability not only to contribute to the well-being of the organization but also to a positive future for humankind and our planet. The professional field of Organizational Development (OD) is increasingly recognizing the role of OD in helping address the challenges our society faces. An underlying theme of the 2023 international OD Summit held in Raleigh, North Carolina on June 11-14 was “Building a better world is the present and future of OD.”

Many surveys have indicated that employee enjoyment in their work and engagement is deteriorating. Leg Two of the stool involves understanding how the performance of organizations can be improved not by direction from politicians, religious leaders or even top management but rather by enabling individuals to improve their partnership, respect and love for themselves and for each other as they act together to achieve their purpose. My research has clearly shown that to improve the performance of an organization, the improvement effort needs not only to be focused on the desired outcome but also on the ability for participants to improve their partnership and become a more effective contributor within the partnership. Organizations need a function which not only facilitates the effectiveness of getting work done but also facilitates the methodology for improving organizational partnership between participants and organizational leaders.
