Future Leadership: Collaboration, Transparency, Sharing and Empowerment
Filed under: 2.Project Leadership, 4.Fast Professional / Career Growth, ALL Posts, Emotional Intelligence
In this TED Talks video, Don Tapscott talks about the 4 principles for an open world: Collaboration, Transparency, Sharing and Empowerment. The future lies in these principles. Leaders at all levels, including individual contributors (who can also lead in various ways) need to develop these in themselves, and foster these in their people. If not, they could get left behind. Developing emotional intelligence helps in the development of these principles. Enjoy the video shown at the end of the talk of the way the large flocks starling birds fly - and imagine us as we embrace these principles, reaching greater heights, solving greater problems, and getting higher results.

How to Change When Change is Hard
Filed under: 2.Project Leadership, 3.Work Life Balance, 4.Fast Professional / Career Growth, ALL Posts
Want to bring change in your organization? In your team? In yourself?
Everyone knows that making a change is difficult. From changing the path of a corporation, to managing your diet, there are constantly obstacles in the way. Chip and Dan Heath's latest book "Switch" is about how to effect change by appealing to the emotional part of our brains as well as the intellect.
In the book, Chip and Dan Heath explain how to harness your logical and emotional impulses to make real change in any facet of your life. This is a must-read for anyone in leadership, marketing, advertising, or any other persuasion-based profession.
When we want people to change, we try to teach them something. We think "if my Dad just understood the health complications obesity causes, he'd eat healthier". Or "if my teenager just understood the danger of texting & driving, she'd quit it". The problem is this: Knowledge rarely leads to change.Look at the warnings on cigarette packs. "Cigarettes release carbon monoxide." Do we think smokers simply don't know that cigarettes are bad for them? A lack of knowledge isn't the problem. Or take a company like GM. For years, people were warning its execs that the company was too dependent on big SUVs and trucks, that it was falling behind other companies in innovation. A lack of knowledge wasn't the problem. And mothers and fathers everywhere try to warn their kids that maybe a giant tattoo isn't such a good idea. Good luck in that fight, Knowledge.The same goes for organizational change. When we want our employees to move in a new direction, we try to educate them.
This just doesn't work. Then what does? Watch these video clips to find out. The first two are short talks that share some concepts, and the third is a humorous way a person applied these lessons of change.
Watch the 3 videos below, and add your thoughts in the form of comments.
