@Mark Vandeneijdne, thank you for the invitation to reflect. I love how this conversation is unfolding. In my coaching practice, I use measurement tools intentionally and with full client consent. I find the choice of tool depends on the objective: are we seeking measurement for articulation and scaling, or are we seeking personal accountability? For the latter, I often invite clients to choose personal creative tools they resonate with to build the internal depth necessary for rewriting mental models. I’ve found that a clear articulation at the outset is a powerful enabler; we must remind participants that we all evolve through time, learning, and lived experience. An assessment is never a static label; it is a dynamic tool designed to support one’s 'present self' in aligning with a 'desired future.' At the organizational level, accepting 'generalized' measurement provides the necessary starting point to justify the investment and—most importantly—begin the work.

Thank you, Anand Chaturvedi, for the opportunity to reflect and contribute collectively where some of us from IDG India Collaboration Network could join.

@Mark Vandeneijdne Thanks for sharing the webinar with Arun Ji (Arun Wakhlu) - our IDG ICN community enjoyed his insights at our session with him in Dec '24 ! We discussed the importance of compassion, love, and interconnectedness in leadership for a sustainable future. Sharing the link for those interested, though I know you and Nadene have likely already seen it. https://youtu.be/okI-81byCBE?si=GJR6p08thcdG4vv2
