What is my problem? - 0 views

  • The intent of these questions are to measure the breadth and depth of my professional network. At the end of the exercise, on the outside, I can potentially have 28 people to whom I turn and rely upon for advice.I had always taken it for granted that my network is a wide one and that I know all of the right kinds of people. After answering Jarche’s tough questions, which took me roughly 30 minutes, I was stunned again to discover my real network comprises only eight people. These include people I work with, my family and two close friends. Is something the matter with me?

    very interesting self-assessment by someone who took Jarche's course on PKM with the self-awareness building components. We struggle with some of the same challenges. Interesting graphic by Jarche in this post on different types of capital.

What does leadership mean in the 21st century? | Ashoka - Innovators for the Public - 0 views

  • The relevance for leadership? Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and their lesser cousins have proved the power of the platform. They have shown that if your average 21st century citizen is given the tools to connect and the freedom to create, they will do so with enthusiasm, and often with an originality that blindsides the so-called creative industries.  The result is a growing awareness from those who think about business structures for a living, that good leadership is no longer about ‘taking charge’ or imposing a strategic vision but about creating the platforms that allow others to flourish and create. By way of example, Frederic Laloux – the organisational theorist currently developing a cult-like following across the world – offers a telling story about his meeting with Jos de Blok. De Blok is the founder and CEO of Buurtzorg, a Dutch nursing care firm that has grown from four to 9,000 employees in nine years, by devolving all decision-making down to small teams of nurses across the country. It’s a structure that leaves only 45 people working in central administration and management but has delivered huge gains in the efficiency and impact of nursing care in The Netherlands.
  • Like social media networks, their job is to create the frameworks that let others take decisions and make change.
  • It’s what being a leader in this new world is all about: helping others to generate change on their own terms rather than taking on the role of sole changemaker yourself.

How to Give Tough Feedback That Helps People Grow - 0 views

  • The difference in the two feedback sessions illustrated above boils down to coaching, which deepens self-awareness and catalyzes growth, versus reprimanding, which sparks self-protection and avoidance of responsibility. 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.
  • Giving developmental feedback that sparks growth is a critical challenge to master,
