Are You In Denial? Holly G. Green
They say that denial is a river in Egypt. Maybe so, but I contend that denial is also running rampant in the conference rooms and corridors of most of today’s companies.
I’m not talking about the stuff you need to see a psychiatrist for. I’m referring to something far more subtle and insidious, a kind of denial that strikes at the very heart of how business leaders and managers go about managing their people and their organizations.

Everyone talks about change these days. But if you look around, it’s easy to see that many companies (and the executives who lead them) have yet to acknowledge just how profoundly our business world is changing. Consequently, they have yet to come to terms with how relentless change is affecting the way they need to lead and manage their organizations. And this is where so many companies get into trouble.
When market conditions change dramatically, as they have in the past year or two, business leaders need to adapt quickly. They also need to help their people adapt. Otherwise their companies get stuck in “same-old, same-old” mode, and soon lose touch with their customers and their markets. Granted, many of the recent business failures can be attributed to the economy imploding at such a rapid clip. But the fact remains that too many business leaders never even saw it coming even though the signs were everywhere.

What does denial in conference rooms look like? Symptoms include:
• Blaming all your woes on the economy. • Not looking beyond the narrow boundaries of your industry to keep abreast of new trends and developments. • Believing that “everyone else may be in a global economy, but we’re still a regional business.” • Expecting that your next big competitive threat will come from within your industry. • Automatically discounting new technologies, such as social media, because you don’t think they apply to your business. • Taking for granted that you still know what customers want and need when you haven’t checked with them in a year or more. • Assuming your employees are glad to just have a job so they are working hard on the right things.
Most of all, denial involves thinking that most of what you know about your business is still true and believing that what made you successful so far will continue to make you successful in the near future. I hate to kick someone when they’re down, but General Motors represents the classic example of corporate denial. In the face of overwhelming evidence that their customers, markets and environment were permanently changing, they continued to crank out the same old tired products, using a business model nearly 100 years old. Any changes and innovations they did make were done slowly and grudgingly, and always with an eye toward recapturing past glories rather than blazing a new trail for the future. The wonder is not that they went into bankruptcy but that it took them so long to get there. Here’s the real problem with corporate denial -- it is both an attitude and a behavior. Which means that solving the problem requires more than just pulling your head out of the sand and taking an occasional look at what is going on in the world around you. In order to make lasting changes in behavior, one must first change the attitudes and beliefs that drive behavior. And from what I have seen, many business leaders are either unwilling or unable to commit the time and effort into adjusting their attitudes and beliefs. Or maybe they just don’t know how. The cure for corporate denial is actually fairly simple (notice I said simple, not easy). Cutting through denial requires challenging your attitudes, beliefs, and assumptions on a regular basis. Getting together once a year with your management team for a cursory competitive analysis will no longer cut it. Challenging everything you think you know about your business must become a way of life. Overcoming denial also requires a focus not just on strategic planning, but on strategic agility. Today’s companies need to become quick, agile, and able to respond immediately to changing market conditions and customer expectations. This may require a profound shift in how you think and how you go about managing your organization, which is not easy. But -- and trust me on this one -- the alternative is much worse. So I have two questions for you. Are you in denial? And if so, what do you intend to do about it?

Did you know?
The Power of Nine is your Key to Happiness and Joy.
There are nine Temperaments. Fifty percent (50%) of your happiness is determined by your Temperament.
Understanding your Temperament Type allows you to work with it and increase your own happiness. The ways individual people inherently view the world/themselves and process information are not the same but do tend to group in different clumps.
Pick the person about that you admire, like and think you are like and click on that number below and listen to the Video.
One way to view this distribution is as nine basic Temperaments Types. They all need different experiences to be really happy.
What do they really want?
Temperament One examples are: Hillary Clinton, Tom Brokaw, Martha Stewart, Al Gore, and Tony Randall. These people want to be good. They have high ideals and value and are attracted to situations where those ideals are met. They want to realize all their potential and help others actualize theirs. They envision making the world a better place to live.
Temperament Two examples are: Bill Cosby, Alan Alda, Nancy Reagan, Dolly Parton, and Pat Boone. These people want to know they are loving. They want to nurture others and foster relationships. They value and are attracted to love. They envision making the world a more loving place to live.
Temperament Three examples are: Oprah Winfrey, Tom Cruise, Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong, and Bill Clinton. These people are attracted to and value productivity, industry, and competence. They envision making the world more productive, organized, efficient, and smooth running. They see the universe as chaos and want to really make it a cosmos, a harmonious and orderly system.
Would You Like Help to Determine your Temperament?
Temperament Four examples are: Michael Jackson, Johnny Depp, Nicolas Cage, Neil Diamond, and Angelina Jolie. These people want to be unique individuals with lots of originality. They enjoy putting their personal touch on everything in which they are involved. They also value beauty and want to make the world a more beautiful place to live.
Temperament Five examples are: Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, Howard Hughes, George Lucas, and Karl Marx. These people long for wisdom, understanding, knowledge, truth. They want to make the world a more enlightened place by discovering what is real and true and making it more intelligible to others.
Temperament Six examples are: Helen Palmer, Michael Moore, Tom Hanks, Rush Limbaugh, Richard Nixon, and Mel Gibson. These people want to make the world a safer, more secure, more reliable, more trustworthy place to live and they will question anyone’s authority in their effort to do so. They value loyalty in themselves and others and stand by their commitments.
Would You Like Help to Determine your Temperament?
Temperament Seven examples are: Robin Williams, Steve Jobs, Tom Hanks, Anthony Quinn, Richard Branson and Terry Bradshaw. These people want to enjoy life and experience all its possibilities. They value joy and variety. They envision making the world a more delightful place to live.
Temperament Eight examples are: Martin Luther King, Jr., FDR, Sean Connery, Donald Trump, and John Wayne. These people want to live life fully and freely. They are attracted to, appreciate, and effectively use power. They envision using their strength to influence others and bring about a more just world where power and resources are equitably distributed.
Temperament Nine examples are: Barack Obama, Ronald Reagan, Abraham Lincoln, Jimmy Stewart, Carl Jung, and Dwight Eisenhower. These people want to feel at one with others and at home in the universe. They value peace, harmony, and unity. They envision making the world a more harmonious, ecumenical, and comfortable place to live for everyone.

Why aren’t all people with a given Temperament Type successful?
You probably know a bunch of people with the same Temperament Type. Why are some successful and others are not. Why the difference? The difference is Emotional Intelligence. We use Emotional Quotient. (EQ) as a shorthand to describe Emotional Intelligence.
A person may have a high IQ. They did well in school, maybe have a college diploma or even an advanced degree. They may even be in MENSA, the select high-IQ club and still fail in business and relationships. Why are they not successful?
The answer:
Your IQ determines 20 % of your success, which leaves 80% to other forces. This is stated by Daniel Goleman the Author of “Emotional Intelligence.”
A person with a high IQ does not mean they know how to manage their thoughts and feelings any more successfully than a person with a low IQ. Success requires taking the emotional data, making sense of that data, and integrating it into your decision-making. People with higher EQ does this better.
By increasing your EQ you can use your thoughts and emotions of your Temperament Type to make the best possible decisions. Increased EQ help you get optimal results from your relationships with yourself and others.
EQ challenges the conventional belief that emotions are in the way of good decisions. By increasing your EQ it is possible to learn how to use your emotions to make better decisions. By increasing your EQ, it is possible to increase your wisdom and energy required for high performance. The Increasing your EQ is a teachable life skill. If people get better at these life skills, everyone benefits: The brain doesn't distinguish between being a more empathetic manager and a more empathetic father
Why do we use numbers?
Names such as: Peacemaker, Mediator, Naturalist, Accommodator, Preservationist are commonly used to decribed the Temperaments Types. We use numbers instead of any names.
We use numbers to designate each of the Temperament Types because numbers are value neutral. They imply the whole range of attitudes and behaviors of each Temperament without specifying anything either positive or negative.
The numerical ranking of the Types is not significant. A larger number is no better than a smaller number.
No Temperament Type is inherently better or worse than any other. While all the Temperament Types have unique assets and liabilities, some Types are often more desirable than others in our society.
You may not be happy with your particular Type. You may feel that your Type is “limited" in some way. As you learn more about all the Types, you will see that just as each has unique capacities, each has different “limits.”
People do not change from one basic Temperament Type to another. Some Types are more valued in our society than others; it is because of the qualities that society rewards, not because of any superior value of those Types.
The descriptions of the Temperament Types apply equally to males and females, since no Type is inherently masculine or feminine. Not everything in the description of your basic Type will apply to you all the time because you fluctuate constantly.
