Weekend Reading for your ‘Ike loa Value Immersion

November 7, 2014

Here are links to a few articles I’ve found in my web-surfing recently, each with intriguing connections to what we talk story about in Managing with Aloha. I’m not going to tell you exactly what they are, for you might find some values-based learning connections of your own…

To start, how might each article value-align with the values we are currently focused on, [The Value Immersion of ‘Ike loa and Ha‘aha‘a] as we “value our month to value our lives” in living, working, managing, and leading with Aloha?

From Curating Value Alignment:
4. VALUE IMMERSION
Immersion means to go ‘all in.’ When you choose a value for your workplace culture, you align it completely — in everything you do. VALUE IMMERSION is flexible and adaptive when it has your constant attention: When confronting change, you realign and audit your value integrity in every strategic juncture. Remember: You can change your values too, growing them as your culture grows.
[VALUE IMMERSION is the primary objective of a Value of the Month program: Value Your Month for One — You.]

  • Am I Not My Brother’s Keeper? – The Atlantic
    This one is for the manager’s “good to know” file: Siblings are family, right? Not under the Family and Medical Leave Act, the major law that protects employees who take time off work to care for sick relatives.
  • The City That Gave Its Residents $3 Million – The Atlantic
    Fascinating case study on civic engagement. Lessons-learned, and still being learned, would make for terrific talk story sessions in workplaces too.

  • Modern Farmer Plows Ahead: Read it and Reap – The New Yorker
    Aha! Wilkinson strips away the mystery for me… I have been loving Modern Farmer on Tumblr, yet all the while I’ve suspected some tongue-in-cheek wistfulness was in play. Modern Farmer is a magazine not really read by ‘real’ farmers.

  • What We Could Learn From Film Director Christopher Nolan – a blog post by Phil Cooke
    One of our Managing with Aloha sayings, is “we learn best from other people” (Core 21, no. 6). Venture outside your circle, and learn more about the successful people you admire: Mentors can be people with a lives and careers quite different from our own.
  • The Island Where People Forget to Die – New York Times.com
    I discovered this late, for it was initially published in October of 2012, but I was so happy I found it. Expect to read of Sense of Place magic, our MWA Key Concept 8.
