This book offers practical insight into the changing ways in which organizations operate today. Building on a groundbreaking concept of teal organizations, the book illustrates the practicality of advocating a lack of hierarchy of predetermined positions and the introduction of roles that come with clear responsibilities constantly defined according to current needs. First described by Frederic Laloux, a teal organization is a ground-breaking approach to managing organizations that is being adopted around the world, which turns everyone into a leader. This new paradigm rests on the ideas of wholeness, evolutionary purpose, employee autonomy, and self-management based on peer relationships. Its main assumption is the empowerment of the employee resulting in a change in workplace relationships and a more soulful and purposeful work environment.Drawing on the authors'research across six different countries, it presents the evolution of self-management and entrepreneurial culture in the current age of Economy 4.0 and examines how the teal concept has been implemented around the world. It examines misconceptions surrounding this novel approach and diagnoses the practical problems connected with implementing it in the current uncertain times. It will be of value to researchers, academics, managers, and students in the fields of management and organizational studies.

In recent years, the transmission paradigm of learning and teaching is making way for new approaches fuelled in part by the technology and AI revolutions. Learning is seen now more often in the light of connectivism, collaboration and creative problem solving. Dialogic Feedback for High Impact Learning explores this fascinating trend championing learning as a dialogic process between learners and coaches where learning is connecting networks and resources and leads to creative problem solving. It addresses the need for feedback as a dialogue in training for tomorrow, what it entails and how you can best deal with it.The book explores the power of feedback in a high-impact learning setting, where all parties strive for a learning and feedback culture rather than a consumption and testing culture. The authors discuss the feedback process, feedback seeking behaviour and the quality of the feedback message, sharing tips for software and apps to support this process and how teachers and coaches from a variety of settings have integrated the feedback dialogue into their training.This book is intended for everyone who wants to contribute to the learning culture of tomorrow, including learning coaches, managers, education and training professionals, and teachers and trainees at all levels in education.

There are three universal truths about traditional performance management. They are widely used, universally despised, and are known to be ineffective. These reasons are cited in the recent spate of announcements from dozens of major corporations who have abandoned their appraisal systems. As a result, many organizations are grappling with what to do instead. They have adopted many interesting and innovative practices, but most are a random collection of activities that are not bound together by a sound theoretical framework. This new approach is built upon a sound theoretical foundation, uses proven management techniques, and offers a novel framework and tool for managers for regulating and enhancing the performance of their staff. Dozens of ready-to-use templates and accompanying tools help make good management practice more accessible, practical, and effective. Just as important, the new approach is both millennial- and remote worker-friendly as it incorporates features that speak to how they work.

People are increasingly disenchanted with performance improvement techniques that fail to deliver. This book offers a new and refreshing way of engaging in authentic feedback that is willingly given and well-received. It demonstrates that focusing on the quality of relationship improves the activity of feedback.The Relational Leadership WAY© that is the core of this book was created from a thematic analysis of a doctoral research study. The framework encourages effective relationships and works through perfecting a ‘way of being'that is generative and productive in interactions with others; especially in feedback conversations, whether we are the giver or the receiver. The 10 themes integral to the framework are organised into 3 parts that relate to pivotal points in a conversation and that when given focused attention will improve relationships: What needs preparing to establish relationships that stimulate constructive conversations Active engagement in co-creating generative conversations through adopting relational behaviours You both noticing and reacting to what emerges and impacts on sustaining the quality of the relationship. This book will appeal to those seeking an innovative approach to performance management and who welcome a reprieve from the relentless pursuit of a universal feedback tool. It is essential reading for: Business managers and leaders expected to motivate teams to become high performing work units Organisational and independent coaches, mentors and practice supervisors developing trust by building effective relationships that encourage disclosure through engaging and authentic feedback Managers, leaders, HR and OD specialists to use as a business text for performance management programmes Training organisations to use as a core text for delegates.

Employee engagement (or a lack thereof) can often be linked to poor communication and a detachment from company goals. Companies of all sizes are looking for ways to boost communication, recognizing its impact on key business outcomes, such as productivity and profitability. This book offers fresh insights about opportunities to improve the quality of employee communications based on employees'needs. It highlights the importance of simple, jargon-free communication that focuses on dialogue and content. High-performing organizations are more likely to think about communication from the audience perspective, rather than purely from the management perspective. The case studies offer readers a firm understanding of ways to implement and measure communication in daily practice. Effective communication requires planning and this book, with its focus on the US, Latin America, and emerging markets, will guide readers in using communication in the alignment of corporate and employee needs.

Why do teams settle for bad ideas or kill good ones? Popular consultant B. Kim Barnes's unique process of constructive debate shows how teams can create better ideas and outcomes by eliminating obstacles to honest discussion, creativity, and collaboration. In too many organizations, great ideas and unusual solutions can be suppressed, ignored, or attacked. Departments defend their turf, and people choose what is safe over what is better. Bad ideas move forward and good ideas die, which can lead to disastrous results—financial or otherwise. Luckily, there is a workable path out of this dysfunction. Kim Barnes's process of constructive debate shows how to establish conditions that encourage the free exchange, discussion, and development of ideas and eliminate conditions that prevent potentially useful ideas from getting heard. By using this tested model, any company or team can improve outcomes and bring out everyone's best ideas.A constructive debate is one in which a diverse group of individuals can express their ideas, engage others in building on and improving them, explore ideas deeply, and challenge one another's positions in a fair and productive way. In this book, you'll learn a set of behaviors you can model and encourage and a process you can facilitate, lead, or support your client in leading. In this time, where opinions can be tribal and differences can lead to unconstructive conflict, it's important to find ways to build robust ideas through a thoughtful, fair, and inclusive approach.

Kommunikation ist auch ohne Sprechen oder Worte möglich. Sie findet ständig und überall statt, wenn Menschen aufeinandertreffen. Der Großteil davon findet jedoch unbewusst und nonverbal statt. Trotzdem sind viele Kommunikationssignale nicht eindeutig, weil bei der Wahrnehmung mehrere Faktoren ineinandergreifen. Wie Patrick Byczkowski zeigt, deuten auch geschulte Personaler Kommunikationssignale falsch und werden von diesen beeinflusst. Das verzerrt ihre Ergebnisse. Byczkowski setzt sich deshalb eingehend mit dem Thema Kommunikation in der Personalauswahl auseinander. Wie kommt es zu einer falschen Wahrnehmung im Vorstellungsgespräch und was bewirkt sie? Wie sollten Beobachter mit Kommunikation in einem Bewerbungsgespräch umgehen? Und wie verhindert man, dass falsche Wahrnehmungen die Entscheidung manipulieren? Patrick Byczkowski erklärt, wie Personaler zu einer angemessenen Bewertung von Bewerbern kommen. Aus dem Inhalt: - Personalmanagement; - Interview; - Recruiting; - Auswahlgespräch; - Einstellungsgespräch

Een boek dat antwoord op de vraag hoe je impact duurzaam maakt geeft : impact op relaties, collega's, loopbanen, teams en organisaties.Enkele duizenden coachinguren leerden de auteurs dat er een enorme behoefte bestaat om impact te verhogen: impact op relaties, collega's, loopbanen, teams en organisaties. Nog belangrijker is het duurzaam maken van die impact, ervoor zorgen dat hij “blijft”. Dit boek geeft antwoord op de vraag hoe je impact duurzaam maakt. Centraal daarbij staat “leiderschap in conversaties” als vereiste competentie. Het boek reikt zeer concrete strategieën, hulpmiddelen en instrumenten aan om dat leiderschap onder de knie te krijgen.'Impact in actie'is bovendien doorspekt met boeiende en authentieke getuigenissen van (bekende) mensen met wie de auteurs hebben samengewerkt.Dit boek reikt zeer concrete strategieën, hulpmiddelen en instrumenten aan om dat leiderschap onder de knie te krijgen. Een boek doorspekt met boeiende en authentieke getuigenissen van bekende mensen met wie de auteurs hebben samengewerkt.EXTRAITIk denk dus aan kracht. En ook wel aan macht. Impact hebben betekent dat je iets of iemand van richting kunt laten veranderen. Dat je erin slaagt iemand op een andere manier te doen nadenken. Dat mensen naar je luisteren. Dat je invloed hebt. En dan weten we dat brute kracht, geweld dus, daar meestal geen duurzame effecten heeft.Soms zijn het gebeurtenissen die impact hebben. Het overlijden van een geliefde, een natuurramp, een verkiezing… kunnen zeer impactvol zijn. En soms zijn het mensen die je doen groeien, doen vallen, doen twijfelen, doen denken, doen handelen.À PROPOS DES AUTEURSKarl Van Hoey heeft een uitgebreide ervaring in corporate HR-leiderschap en coachingrollen.

Wie sage ich es klar und wertschätzend? – Darauf gibt dieses essential eine handhabbare und praxisnahe Antwort.

In Tell Me So I Can Hear You, Eleanor Drago-Severson and Jessica Blum-DeStefano show how education leaders can learn to deliver feedback in a way that strengthens relationships as well as performance and builds the capacity for growth. Drawing on constructive-developmental theory, the authors describe four stages of adult growth and development and explain how to differentiate feedback for colleagues with different “ways of knowing,” which include: • Instrumental knowers, who tend to see things in black and white (“Did I do it right or wrong?”) and may need to develop the capacity for reflection. • Socializing knowers, who are concerned with maintaining relationships (“What do you want me to do?”) and may need support developing their own ideas. • Self-authoring knowers, who have strong ideologies and values (“How does this fit with my goals and vision?”) and may need help with perspective taking. • Self-transformative knowers, who are able to examine issues from multiple points of view (“How can I understand this more deeply?”) and may need guidance in resolving tensions and contradictions. The authors show how leaders can provide feedback in ways that “meet people where they are” while expanding the developmental capacities educators bring to their work. Drago-Severson and Blum-DeStefano provide real-life examples with practical strategies for creating a safe space for feedback, finding the right words, and bridging feedback and action. Tell Me So I Can Hear You offers invaluable guidance to help educators support a culture of learning in classrooms, schools, and districts.
