ABSTRACT

This chapter offers a brief overview of a vision of person-centred practice, and what these ideas can look like in an organizational context. It focuses on three person-centred pillars in a power-savvy culture: inner direction, dynamic learning hubs and engagement facilitation. The individual’s inner direction is the focus of person-centred practice. The idea of an inner direction deepens person-centred care and support, by taking as our starting point the personal growth and talent development of every person. The inner drive for development and joyous teamwork among leaders sets the pattern in motion for a person-first organization. Organizations, too, have a myth, a story, pulsing through the ups and downs, through losing the way and finding the way. Engagement facilitators are people within the organization who are recognized by their leaders and peers as having a natural ability to relate well with others.
