Introduction
Individual and organizational frames of reference, also known as mental models, are the assumptions and beliefs embedded in our language that determine what we see and how we explain how things work. Although in our speech mental models may be unconscious, they influence decision and action. It is important to examine methods for reflection and inquiry that help bring mental models to the surface. A team can then examine and choose its language in order to operate in a more open and integrated way.
Change leaders must also understand the dynamics of change and develop strategies for building shared vision as a conduit for shared meaning and to develop facilitation skills. Creating shared meaning and support
ing the relationship between employee engagement and enterprise sustainability allows people to believe they are part of a common entity, that they are participating in a community, and that they have the power to determine their destinies. By creating a shared vision, they decide what is important and why. By clarifying, they propel themselves into the future of the image they hold.
