The fourth escape of Dr. Linden while he was a guest teacher at the Aspen Institute, USA, took place in Klotz, Austria. After his retirement from the Aspen faculty, Dr. Linden decided to teach a one-week escape in Klotz. retreat in kl of this retreat was to assist Dr. Linden renew his energies for a new period of teaching and research work. Among the topics he wanted to address during the retreat were: How do we grow as educators? What exactly does being a few really mean for us?
On Feb. 22, before leaving for the escape, Dr. Linden gave an Aspen Institute Q&A session, in which he answered questions about his book, The Power of Positive Thinking. In this discussion, he said that one of the keys to teaching is to be true to oneself, and that he had developed a particular model of what it means to be true to oneself, that is called the"short retreat in Klotz". In his model, there's not any expectation of any thing, except that your energy is truly powerful! This may be done through very simple acts of gratitude, which attract greater waves of energy in your life.
At the beginning of the retreat, on Feb. 14, Dr. Linden presented a brief DVD that dealt with the subject of the day. It was a strong presentation of what it means to be a teacher and finished with the Aspen Institute stating that Dr. Linden would be joining them for the following year, teaching and spreading his teaching method through the Aspen community. He also presented his latest book, entitled, The Power of Positive Thinking. (It is available for download on the website.)
The following week, on Feb. 22, our dear friend, Dr. Linden, gave another seminar at the Aspen Institute on the same theme as his previous one, and again, an excellent talk. During his talk he said he was going to be engaging in the Transpac gloriad and also mentioned that he had received the certificate for the previous month and was actually feeling really good about it. He then mentioned that he had prepared some notes on his laptop with this seminar. We all know that Dr. Linden resides at a world renowned retreat in Ketchum, Idaho, and is surrounded by very wealthy people who couldn't care less about the way he thinks. The only folks who really matter to him are people who live at the other end of the country, where he spends more time annually.
He talked at length about the power of positive thinking and said that it's a wonderful model of behavior for spreading and teaching. He also mentioned that many of our corporate leaders appear to have abandoned the term"team-building," and that they are afraid to use it since it's been co-opted by selfish, egocentric, leaders who do not care about building teams, or the empowerment that it brings. I can understand this, but I also don't think it's a terrible thing. In actuality, I think leadership, and utilizing team-building actions in the workforce, is absolutely vital to creating leaders. Our business was founded on the simple premise that we were to be treated with dignity and respect, and that their success was the key to the perpetuation of America's greatness. It's insufficient to just treat people well today, or even to do a excellent job, if we want our firm to grow and achieve greater heights in its prestige.
Many executives and leaders seem to have forgotten that. If you look back over the past ten years or so, you will see that most have abandoned the phrase, or at the very least, they have used it sparingly. One interesting example is that of Bob Iger, the current CEO of Disney. He recently gave a speech for an audience in India where he talked about how using a hotel package to attend a seminar in India was a good idea. However, he didn't use the phrase"overnight extra-curricular actions."
I find this problematic because I feel this is one of the most important advantages of overnight travel and retreats. The reason is that it enables people to experience another culture and prognosis in the workplace. Imagine being able to visit a corporate team-building escape in India and to see firsthand the dedication and creativity of its employees. I also imagine that such an experience could help to create a new generation of leaders who are open and honest with their followers, and who value the value of forming connections. And most importantly, this kind of opportunity would allow for true professional development by giving people an opportunity to experience a very different work environment.
I'd submit to you that Bob is correct, and you should try and use overnight business day trips to foster growth. But if you are not able to utilize the opportunities that present themselves to benefit your business, your attempts will simply be a waste of time. And most of us know that time is money! So you really do need to be certain you give the best opportunities to your people so that you can grow your business. After all, that's what leadership is all about.
