“Development of our worldview creates anxiety because basic assumptions not only guide us through life – they defend us from growth.”  –Kazimierz Gozdz

Generon has developed an approach that uses everyday work practices to enhance both personal and organizational learning and development.  We call this our “Nothing Extra” approach. There is a widely acknowledged need for business organizations to engage in an ongoing process of human development.  Generon has developed an approach that keeps organizations focused on solving common business problems and prospering in the marketplace while simultaneously using real-life business issues as a means to foster both personal and organizational transformation.  Everyday work and developmental growth become seamless, integrated processes – something we see as synonymous with spiritual growth.  Organizations and individuals grow through thoughtfully developing competencies and systems directly relevant to the real issues facing their institutions.  Generon facilitates this process by providing a growth-oriented framework for problem solving.

Building on and advancing from Robert Greenleaf’s work on Servant Leadership, we assist clients to become more mature and effective leaders, driven by business ideals like service, rather than ego gratification.  At the same time, we help institutions become learning communities – organizations capable of responding constructively to the challenges of change — continually expanding their capacity to create truly desired results.

We begin our work with individuals and organizations by considering the issues and opportunities our clients perceive in the current moment.  Using this as a springboard for transformation, we help our clients to change from an authoritarian management style to a cooperative decision-making management style which often includes rebuilding work processes; re-assigning job responsibilities; and educating employees to work within a new leadership model.

People will rise to the challenge of necessity, especially if they understand that the best way to meet the challenge is to grow and to increase their capabilities.  Generon seeks to facilitate this orientation by helping institutions develop a corporate culture that values growth and development – a culture that holds a goal of excellence and not mere survival.  Promoting a culture of excellence is an essential step, for in a culture of growth and excellence, the content of the work is a spiritual, transformational practice.  Generon acts as a midwife to corporate and individual growth – facilitating the natural process of transformation and remaining ready to assist with complications that might abort the growth process.

Generon helps to keep organizations actively engaged in mature problem-solving processes.  Growth results from completing the process of solving complex problems, as participants are called to address the limits of their development as a constraint on their solution options.  Together with our clients, we advance the maturational development of an organization and its people — expanding their worldview and embracing their differences — in order to develop a more innovative and robust culture.  

Through its various offerings – from keynotes to large-scale transformation – Generon International helps to shift individuals, teams and organizations to a more comprehensive worldview, facilitating growth and development towards what we term Stage IV Leadership
