A CEO is retiring and a successor is appointed. At the conclusion of their transition meeting, the retiring CEO hands his successor three envelopes numbered sequentially and tells him that whenever he finds himself in trouble to open the envelopes in order. Several months go by, and the new CEO finds things going south and opens the first letter. The letter reads: "Blame your predecessor". And so, the new CEO acts accordingly and things improve. Things ultimately go south again, and the new CEO opens the second letter which simply reads: "Reorganize". The reorganization keeps things afloat for a larger span of time, but the company takes another turn for the worse. The new CEO then opens the final letter which reads: "Write three letters".

Changing patterns of behavior is one of the greatest challenges that leaders face. But before they can deal with this problem on a team, group, unit, division or company-wide, leaders must confront the worst cycle offenders: those that develop within each of us.

One of the key teachings of ANE concerns the concept of “Letting Go” in order to take our own ego out of the process, engage our inner core and give us a fresh perspective on the personal and professional challenges we face on a daily basis as spiritual leaders.

Join us this Tuesday as we share together our methods of breaking cycles within our organizations.
