Time RSS FeedsTake Seriously Your Fire Power - As a leader one hasa moral responsibility both to the individuals who draw their livelihood from his or her payroll, and the organization that makes that payroll possible. One needs to treat both fairly, while putting the needs of the organization ahead of individuals. That means taking the time to carefully hire well in the first place. And then manage people so that their skills and effort are maximized....Feed Source: jobfunctions.bnet.com Leadership's Most Vital T-A-S-K - Organizational dynamics today are bordering on the chaotic. Some would say that they are already out of control and cannot change, despite one's best efforts. Some authors have even emphasized the "Chaos theory" approach to understanding organizational life. They may be right. Burnout is fast becoming a major problem for all types and sizes of organizations. If one were to believe what one read in the daily newspapers, it would seem that the human casualty list is growing.... How to Become a Great Leader - Many bosses find themselves in leadership positions without ever having consciously made the choice to become a leader, let alone a great leader. The 'Peter Principle', (named after it's originator L. Peter) states that in modern organizations, most bosses rise to the level of their least competence, like the specialist (e.g. accountant, engineer, lawyer etc.) who is so good at their craft that they get promoted to a management position in 'Charge of people' without having mastered any real leadership skills. And then they bomb. It's not their fault, they were promoted into the position with little or no training or mentoring it's sink or swim.... Learning From Quiet Leaders - Quiet leaders recognize that time lets turbulent waters settle and clarify. It lets people discuss their situations with others and think things through on their own. Time gives people a chance to assess their real obligations and gives sound instincts a chance to emerge. It lets them observe and learn, look for patterns, understand some of the many, subtle ways in which individuals and events interact, and look for small, subtle opportunities in the flow of events.... How to Get Your Game on All the Time - One of the issues most often raised by clients is better time management. People have tried prioritizing tasks, blocking out parts of their day for certain tasks, implementing new systems and getting better at delegation. While all of these things can make a difference, there is something else that will have an even greater impact on one's productivity. The key to high productivity is energy management.... Trust, Social Capital, and Organizational Effectiveness - Many authors have argued that social capital is positively related to economic prosperity, regional development, collective action, and democratic governance. But it alone can not explain all of these phenomena in societies. The concept of trust can not be neglected in the social capital literature. Considerable confusion exists concerning the relationship between social capital and trust, namely whether trust is a precondition of social capital or a product of it. This paper begins to explore their relationships by tracing the origins and development of the concept of social capital.... Finance and Performance Management Mastery and the High Performance Business - In a landmark study, Accenture examined the relationship between finance and high performance. The results show a tangible link and strong correlation between a high-performance business and mastery of a new finance competency set. The results also reveal that those companies that created the greatest value have embraced entirely new ways of thinking about finance and performance management. The purpose of this paper is to explore what and how the high performers are doing differently in the area of finance and high performance management.... Advancing Organizational Effectiveness and Knowledge Management Implementation - In the recent past, most practitioners and researchers in hospitality have focused on the development of programs and practices for preventing employees leaving a job. The purpose of this paper is to examine an alternative focus, which is the possibility of sharing and retaining the knowledge which resides in employees' minds. The operational practices of this focus would not only add value for internal and external customers, but also benefit overall organizational effectiveness in today's knowledge-oriented era.... Leadership Applications - Organizational Effectiveness - This paper focuses firstly on the ideas put forward in Behavioural Complexity Theory to account for leadership behaviours that meet the challenges posed by turbulent environments. The theory amplifies the behaviours and processes required for leading dynamic systems that are evident in military organisations by examining the cognitive and social determinants of behavioural complexity which affect leader and organisational effectiveness. The second part of the paper integrates behavioural complexity into the Competing Values Framework to further understanding of the ways in which flexible leadership can balance multiple requirements in a dynamic, unstable, and unpredictable environment.... Adopting Change - People care deeply about their workplace. Why wouldn't they, considering the large part of their lives they spend there? Changing the environment affects how people relate to others, and how they perceive themselves and their status. Every major space change in turn affects how people work and how they feel about their work.... Copyright © 2009, Unselfish Marketers Link Exchange. All Rights Reserved. |
