The leadership of organisational learning is mainly about containing the anxiety created by exposing and exploring each other’s [mental] maps
Professor Gervase Bush, 2001
Why Is Drawing A Mental Map Critical?
Not checking out the validity of our maps is just another form of interpersonal mush.
Whether it’s about people, tasks, or processes, the maps of people who work together can be inaccurate, invalid, out of sync, dissimilar, or at cross purposes.
So we need to put our maps on the table, look at them together, see what is causing us problems, and change our maps when that is appropriate.
