Insights Into Cultural Understanding

Once upon a time…for an artist to be successful they needed to suffer for their art or for a person to really make a difference they needed to suffer through their nonprofit organization. I say once upon a time because I believe those perspectives belong in the realm of story-telling.

Here’s more on this point-of-view from Michael Carlos Muhammad who posted this earlier: “Money and Religion/Spirituality. I have No issues, problems, reservations or hesitations with merging it all together. Because It’s All Good. Money in itself has no inherent value other than which we use it for. It could purchase and sustain life and it could contribute to ones demise. For too long we have accepted the notion that deprivation somehow pleases God. The poor are somehow automatically closer to GOD. Well, Abraham, Solomon, and many others were known to be favored by God and they had wealth. Thing is, we are Not to take any god beside God and that means your money, your job, your spouse, your government, your NO-THING.”

“It goes back to something we said earlier, we must engage life from a total perspective. Body, Mind and Spirit. To neglect any aspect of our being is to be incomplete. mcm@wealthuniversal.com”

While everybody seems to be talking about the “coming of age” of and marketing to Baby Boomers, what could use more attention is the retiring of Boomers in corporate America, small businesses, and every other vestige of our community. I was speaking to members of a major utility and discovered that more than 50% of their executives will be retiring soon. Where is their knowledge going when they go out the door? Out with them. Can your company say the same thing?

I read a comprehensive article in Chief Learning Officer (James J. L’Allier, Ph.D. & Kenneth Kolosh) that will shed some light on the dilemma.   “There are other variables at play that directly impact how organizations will be able to adapt to the changing demographic landscape. Some of the factors that organizations can control include retention of older workers, correcting gender imbalance in certain positions, the use of outsourcing and hiring newly arriving immigrants.”

Diversity at work again. Those that can align, inspire, engage, educate, and lead diverse members of the workforce will win. I enjoy being a coach and consultant to organizations with that commitment.
