  • Goals should be the big picture items that you wish to someday accomplish. Your quotas on the other hand are the minimum amounts of work that you must get done every single day to make it a reality.
  • Professor Fogg’s entire system on Tiny Habits is built around this principle that it’s better to set micro quotas to get out of the analysis phase and right into the action:
  • An “Ahscrewit!” moment is any specific instance where you throw your arms up in the air and say, “Screw this, it’s not worth the effort!”

  • “analysis paralysis,” or
  • Identify where exactly ‘getting started’ falls apart for you and try to create shortcuts so that the uncomfortable moment is lessened,
  • For those “what the hell moments,” some startlingly simple advice is to just focus on the total days you’ve done your habit, rather than the fact that you broke the chain.
  • Making too many decisions is a part of this problem: Baumeister’s research on mental energy suggests that acts of self-control and self-regulation deplete mental resources in future activities.

It also required a radical change in rewards and affirmations from funders and boards. A new system, consistent with subordinating the organization’s brand to the common interest, became paramount.

  • the single most important factor behind all successful collaborations is trust-based relationships among participants. Many collaborative efforts ultimately fail to reach their full potential because they lack a strong relational foundation.
  • Trust not control
  • network entrepreneurs focus on creating authentic relationships and building deep trust from the bottom up. This focus on relationship-building costs relatively little yet ultimately makes a tremendous difference in impact. Network entrepreneurs ensure that the power of others grows while their own power fades, thereby developing capacity in the field and a culture of distributed leadership that dramatically increases the collaboration’s efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability.

  • The Four Principles of Network Entrepreneurship
  • The new leaders at the heart of some of today’s most sophisticated, large-scale solutions to the world’s social problems—network entrepreneurs—are undoubtedly some of the most accomplished leaders that you’ve never heard of, and they are ensuring that systems-level, collaborative efforts not only succeed, but thrive. 
  • Humility not brand.
  • Node not hub.

  • their employees spontaneously started building wikis to document important discoveries and share scientific information.
  • They are replacing offices entirely. For people who work in virtual teams, apps like Slack are the workplace.
  • social media works in the office when it brings like-minded colleagues together for collaboration.
  • But when you work on a virtual team, your choice is either adopt the new software or stop coming to work. In other words, there is no real choice. You have to accept the new platform, regardless of the changes it brings
  • The one user survey the company has conducted, however, shows that the majority of Slack administrators believe their teams are up to 40 percent more productive.
  • Slack founder Stewart Butterfield has said the boost in productivity comes from eliminating e-mail, but Henderson scoffs at that idea. He thinks Slack teams are more productive because they can communicate better. Plus, they can catch up on what's happened while they were gone because conversations are held in searchable logs. Most of all, he says, Slack is about stepping up productivity by "reducing meetings." That's the "big one," Henderson emphasizes.

  • flexibility means people will need better and perhaps unconvenational ways to communicate to help them establish goals and feel engaged at work.
  • What’s your value proposition to a member or customer, particularly a younger one, who may be engaged in your association’s industry during only half the workday, or a fifth of it?
  • In 2016, 31 percent of remote workers were doing so 80 percent of the time.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Gallup doesn’t mince words on this issue: “For fully remote employees, managers are falling down on the fundamental aspects of performance development—those that are based on the manager-employee relationship—and perhaps increasing the risk that the employee will leave for a better opportunity to progress with another company.” But the fix isn’t particularly complex—it’s just a matter of building in more of those conversations with remote workers of all stripes.
