Focus - Do We Understand Each Other?

DAAJI introduces DR. ICHAK ADIZES to the audience at the international Heartfulness Center at Kanha Shanti Vanam: “It’s such a pleasure this morning to have Dr. Adizes amongst us. I would call him a guru of management. He has many tricks, which are not spoken, not written, but which he delivers based on his personal experience and personal intuition. However complex any protocol maybe, he will dissect it and simplify it for any organization – a university, an industry, a government, a spiritual institution, or a family. His principles are mind-blowing. His Adizes Methodology is very worthwhile if you are in the field of management if you’re a game-changer.

“So we’ll have a taste today. I always want to listen to him because he has very refined ideas when he speaks. If you watch his words, his style, and his attitude, you will learn a lot. Welcome, Dr. Adizes.”.

Namaste and greetings to you all. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to share with you some experiences, thoughts, and insights that I’ve been developing over 50 years of working with companies, prime ministers, and generally with people.

What is it all about? It’s about change. This is nothing new. Change has been going on forever, from the Big Bang (maybe even before that) and it will go on forever. So what?

Whenever there is a change there are problems. Why problems? Because, what is change? Something new. And then when you’re confronted with something new, you have to decide what to do about it. It’s like coming to an intersection in a foreign country – something new – and now you have to decide, “Do I go left? Do I go right? Do I go back? What do I do?”
