To summarize, powerful, high-impact feedback conversations share the following elements:
  • An intention to help the employee grow, rather than to show him he was wrong.

  • Bucky Fuller said many times that you cannot push people, but you can pull them or draw them to your ways of thinking.
  • The way the trim tab and rudder on a ship pull the ship around is that when one turns the trim tab or rudder to one side, it forces the water around the ship to move faster on one side of the ship than on the other side.
  • This lowers the pressure of the water against the ship on that side of the ship.

  • A vacuum is a type of disturbance of the equilibrium forces in society that, in some way, speeds up the flow of energy in the area or direction in which you wish people to move.  This is the human equivalent to Bernoulli’s principle.
  • How this is done is subtle.  Ways to upset the equilibrium pace of society and societal evolution is to introduce new technology, present new information, draw attention to yourself or to something that upsets things in certain ways, or to send out love that draws people in.
  •  
    interesting discussion of trim tab and rudders by Lawrence Wilson, an MD. He quotes Richard Buckminster Fuller who said that for one person to change the entire world, they need "to act like the rudder and trim tab of a ship."

  • George Siemens,
  • applauded MIT’s admissions experiment. "We’re just starting to see the impact in education of the Internet on the legacy structure of higher education," he said. "This reflects an accessibility mind shift," he added.
  •  
    Very interesting experiment to allow six months of MOOC work to be used in admissions to MIT instead of transcripts of performance from schools that are unknown/untested. If MIT will allow MOOC accomplishment to satisfy entry-credentialing, what about employers?

Silo effect | Invistics - 0 views

  • he “silo effect” is caused by a remarkably small number of people who gradually drain the silo‘s grain. Its negative impact can be huge on the performance of the total team; eventually leading to a loss of business. However, I’ve seen clients successfully deal with these “silo effects” within the walls of their company. I’ve sat in on several Pull Design Workshops and have personally seen this transformation occur.
  •  
    defines costs of silo effects--draining the stored grain from a farm silo means it cannot be replenished from within, must go outside silo to get more grain (ideas, innovations, weak ties?...) Breakthrough Manufacturing is host site from 2/16/2012.

  • They’ve not participated in online forums, shared their own learning journeys though sense making activities such as blogging or working out loud. Many have not used their own enterprise social networks.

  • This means that they are already incorporating new skills such as social collaboration, network building,  knowledge sharing, working out loud, content curation and publishing, community building and sense making into their own work.
  • Myth 4: Social Learning is About Forcing Your People to Use Your New Social Learning Platform

The leadership lessons in Sheryl Sandberg's and Adam Grant's new book about resilience ... - 0 views

  • What you want to do is debrief failures openly. That’s really critical to resilience, because otherwise when people fail they’re totally unprepared for it.
  • It's much more helpful to say I understand you’re probably in a lot of pain right now, and I want you to know I’m here with you. Just the acknowledgment and conveying you want to support them is much more helpful.
  • One of the things that affected me most, actually, was watching Sheryl commit to finding joy.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • But the joy you feel has a huge impact on the people around you. I've spent a lot of time thinking since [Sandberg and I] talked about that. Joy is not just a contributor to happiness. It really is a source of strength. When we have more joy in our lives, it’s part of what makes life worth living.

    interview with Grant and Sandberg about new book includes the three Ps--personalization, pervasiveness, and permanence--for making negative emotions worse in the workplace. Better to acknowledge reactions to failure or loss as normal
