Tools of Transformation 4

In the work we’re called to do, perspective plays a large role in shaping our effectiveness. There is a tendency to focus on “problem solving” — identifying the least difficult means to an end and pursing that course to make a challenge or frustration go away, thereby maintaining the status quo. Regenerative thinking compels us to train ourselves to use challenges as an opportunity for strengthening the larger whole in which we work.

Session 4 of “Tools of Transformation” introduces the Three Core Capabilities — Internal Locus of Control, External Considering, and Source of Agency — as practicable skills which can help us to overcome conventional problem-solving tendencies, collected in a framework that you can use to evolve your thinking on any project.
