ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE BY WAY OF BETTER THINKING

Let’s make a really deep dive into the structure of organizational problems. We can classify corporate problems in numerous terms—system problems, communication problems, skills problems, character (personality) problems, inter-personal relational problems, financial problems, market problems, research and development problems, stress problems, and on and on. And what lies underneath as even more fundamental? What lies above as the over-arching frames for these problems?

The answer is astonishingly simple—thinking. And that goes back to an age-long concept, namely, As you think—so you are. Your thinking leads to how you build systems, communicate, understand and practice skills, how you experience yourself, how you relate to others, etc. What then causes dysfunctions in organizations? Our patterns of thinking and especially, our cognitive distortions and biases.
