  • No time for real dialogue. No time to ask questions
  • . "Oh we do this already," is a common response to PD. Do they do it...or do they think they do it? The report states that, "non-improvers are almost twice as likely to self-assess their own performance as stronger than their formal ratings."
  • Reflection is important, but it needs to be done with evidence.

  • But it still didn't mean the PD they wanted to attend actually worked.
  • participants, regardless of the type of school system, show up without much background knowledge on why they are there.
  • they need to make sure that they have a school climate that is conducive to learning and not one that focuses on accountability and compliance.

  • Diversity is not just about accessing multicultural markets.  Companies must look more broadly to reinvent the way we think about how business is done.  How can diversity be pulled out of this commoditized mentality?  Diversity leadership must drive innovative perspectives.  Companies have not yet figured out how to unlock the potential within markets and processes that must be enabled globally.”
  • Diversity has allowed IBM to be innovative and successful for 100 years and to work across lines of differences in 172 countries, amongst 427,000 employees.
  • For example, are you paying attention to the Internet and how online communities continue to grow and represent different voices and points of view?

    Very good article by Glenn Llopis in Forbes, 6/13/2011, on importance of authenticity in diversity management. Not a numbers or compliance game but a real effort to get the most from everyone in an organization in order to serve/sell/reach out effectively to markets, communities, customers, and clients.

  • In other words, if you’re stressed out, you’re not working hard enough on your personal focus strategy. You’re letting the team down.
  • the marketing of mindfulness as a solution to work stress and life balance rather than the complex spiritual approach to living it is meant to be.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Rather than a difficult but easily accessible way to free your mind and body, mindfulness has been rebranded as a kind of gentle harness to help us heel to the corporate leg.
  • Mindfulness is a way of living, not a substitute for taking action.
