Most people believe personality traits are fixed characteristics that are present at birth and persist throughout an individual’s lifetime.

These mindsets strongly influence the way individuals respond to success and failure, and in Mindset, Dweck uses research, examples of well-known business and sports leaders, and specific scenarios to demonstrate how changing one’s mindset can profoundly affect the outcome of almost every situation. Dweck also explains how understanding the basics of mindsets can help in accepting and understanding relationships and the people who comprise them

We spend more time working than doing anything else in life. Yet for too many people, the experience of work is demotivating and dehumanizing.
I don’t think it has to be this way, and I’m willing to bet you don’t either.

Why We (Shouldn't) Hate HR
8:53 AM Thursday June 10, 2010 | Comments (12)
I spend much of my time giving talks to companies, trade
associations, and professional societies from the worlds of
marketing, IT, and human resources. And whenever I talk to
an HR audience, there's someone after the event who wants
to talk to me about an article we published in Fast Company
way back in 2005. The essay, designed to stir up discussion,
was titled "Why We Hate HR" — and it's left a mark. To this
day, human-resource executives want to praise it, denounce
it, dissect it, and debate it. I guess that's a sign the essay
succeeded — and that many HR leaders remain frustrated
with their roles inside their organizations and determined to
do more.
So here's a proposal. As this provocative essay approaches
its fifth anniversary, perhaps it's time to change the debate.
The real problem, I'd submit, isn't that HR executives aren't
financially savvy enough, or too focused on delivering
programs rather than enhancing value, or unable to conduct
themselves as the equals of the traditional power players in
the organization — all points the original essay makes. The
real problem is that too many organizations aren't as
demanding, as rigorous, as creative about the human
element in business as they are about finance, marketing,
and R&D. If companies and their CEOs aren't serious about
the people side of their organizations, how can we expect
HR people in those organizations to play as a serious a role

companies that are winning big in tough economic
circumstances. You can't be special, distinctive, compelling in the marketplace unless you create

Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...Alexey Krivitsky
Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
Org Design is a core skill to be mastered by management for any successful org change.
Org Topologies™ in its essence is a two-dimensional space with 16 distinctive boxes - atomic organizational archetypes. That space helps you to plot your current operating model by positioning individuals, departments, and teams on the map. This will give a profound understanding of the performance of your value-creating organizational ecosystem.
