The Council of State Governments’ Post

Hi fellow democracy nerds! This post is for my young DNs in particular (where young is defined as under 40 for the purposes of this conversation). (*) Here at the Parliament of NSW we are keen to build networks that stretch far beyond our walls. And for any YDNs out there, have we got an opportunity for you! Every day I am inundated with messages from YDNs saying "Mark, you are the coolest social media poster we have ever seen. Your references are groovy, and as topical as a discotheque in a roller-skating rink. And if you're this funky, imagine how hip the young people working in the Parliament must be!" Well, gentle reader, you are 100% correct. The young professionals working at the Parliament are fully sick, stylin' and dare I say it, copasetic. And now you have a chance to engage with them at our inaugural Breakfast Club event. To the sounds of "Don't You (Forget About Me)" on high rotation, you'll get to connect with the people that make the parliament work, including our most-excellent Editor of Debates, Vanessa Schlenert. More details are below. I hope we'll see you there. And if that isn't lit, I don't know what is. Stay safe DNs. -m (*) If you are a DN more of my vintage don't worry, I'm sure another one of my posts will come along soon enough. I'll make sure I add in at least 113% more 1980s popular culture references in the interests of editorial balance.

At the William Glasser International Conference in Chicago, I had the honor of presenting a seminar that addressed a critical issue many teams face: the hidden tensions within team cultures that hinder optimal team functioning and growth. Drawing on real-life examples and a compelling case study, I revealed how these concealed tensions can stifle progress and create internal conflict. When teams are obviously struggling, it's easier to spot the underlying reasons. However, when you're working with a team on the arc from good to great, the underlying issues are often subtle tensions in the team’s values and because they seem harmless they are harder to identify. Recognizing the implicit values guiding team dynamics and reconciling these competing values to foster a cohesive environment can be a daunting task. During my session, I introduced attendees to Causal Layer Analysis, a powerful tool for uncovering the layers of team culture and the underlying values at play. By applying Reality Therapy principles, I demonstrated practical strategies for resolving tensions within the team culture and promoting alignment. It’s never easy to be vulnerable in front of people you admire, especially on a public stage…. I was simply overwhelmed by the positive feedback from my mentors and peers. I can’t wait for our next International Conference in 2 years in Australia!
