Expansion

It’s about creating new skills, perspectives, relationships, awareness, and achievements. It’s about taking on and solving intriguing challenges. It’s about transforming ourselves and our systems. Maybe it’s a need. Definitely it’s a longing, even if sometimes it’s also scary.  Ideally, expansion betters us, sometimes beyond what we thought possible.

Longing for expansion?

Achievement

It’s completing something by effort, courage, or skill, that sparks happiness, satisfaction, pride, confidence, motivation, or performance. It brings us peace, too. No matter big or small, simple or earth-shattering, alone or with others, achievement feels great and moves us forward.

Engagement

It’s the connection and enthusiasm we feel about our jobs and workplaces, and it’s reflected by our vigor, resilience, dedication, and ability to get into flow. (Check out the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale). It’s linked to better performance, higher productivity, greater wellbeing, and lower absenteeism.

Wellbeing

It’s how we feel. Professionally, it’s how we feel at work and about work, including job satisfaction, emotional experience, meaning, and purpose. (Definition from Oxford experts Jan-Emmanuel De Neve and George Ward.) Deep wellbeing is directly linked to recruitment, retention, productivity, engagement, and financial performance.

Belonging

It’s a fundamental human need. It means we’re welcome as our whole selves, we’re deeply connected to others, we’re fully seen, and we can make our own choices. (Check out UC Berkeley’s Hossein Ayazi’s amazing work.) It’s what employees want most, and it drives happiness and profit. (Indeed.com and Oxford’s Wellbeing Research Centre have great new research.)

If belonging is your thing

Fivefold Way courses deliver deep transformation and practical tools, all thoughtfully designed to inspire confidence, skill, and, dare we say, joy.

At its most basic, the Fivefold Way encapsulates the best research about work success; used like an assessment tool, it improves performance.

Yet, the Fivefold Way is so much more. It captures the essence of what we want in the world and at work, based on our fundamental beliefs:

  • We believe in a fully flourishing world for all: universal belonging, health, wellbeing, peace, justice, equality, joy, meaning, creativity, harmony …
  • We believe to get there, we need countless people working together to heal ourselves and our systems, analyze and solve root problems; and make utopian ideas real.

And we believe that sometimes we need folks to manage stuff. Not in that tired, worn-out, hierarchical boss-way. But in new, inspiring ways that sustain belonging, wellbeing, engagement, achievement, and expansion.

Art of Management’s Fivefold Way empowers managers to bring five core values to life:

I'm encouraged to learn and grow. I achieve meaningful things myself and with others. I'm engaged and energized. My wellbeing is nurtured. I belong.

Reviews

Maybe this seems unrealistic, impossible, or naïve.

We’re okay with that. Here at Art of Management, we’re into “go big or go home.” We believe we must choose hope and vision with gusto, even (and especially) without guarantees. We’re into nothing short of miraculous transformation, and we’re committed to delivering our absolute best training and support toward that end. If you’re also up for transformation, please join us! (Your skepticism is welcome, too!)
