Back in the Saddle!!

The Cenek Report is returning from a lengthy hiatus. I just returned from a long term assignment in Brussels, Belgium and Istanbul, Turkey, and feel like writing again. My writing will be irregular, but my aim will be to post at least one meaty contribution monthly.
My trip abroad was one of the most educational experiences in my life - not unlike the first year that I lived in NYC on the Upper West Side (during the Koch years I might add). I’ve reached several conclusions based on my organizational development work abroad:
1. Most employees across the globe want the same thing from their workplace – a good boss, recognition, fair pay, and trust in their organization;
2. We are a global community. Most people are decent individuals, and harbor wholesome values not unlike what I remember during my formative years in the Midwest;
3. There are cultural differences - and some of these play out in how women are viewed in the respective society; and
4. Our country is revered for its wealth and power; but adhored for its wastefulness and high consumption of natural resources.
My next post will be about a great article that I rediscovered – one written by one of the original titans in the field of OD.
