Bd3.7.12 medilink motivation and retention (submitted v1)Accomplice
This document discusses how to motivate and retain an exceptional team. It explains that motivated employees are more productive, oriented towards quality, and happier, leading to longer retention. The team leader plays a key role in understanding what motivates each team member and managing motivational factors. An exceptional team is built on strong foundations that include a clear remit, adequate resources, understanding the corporate role and external links, supporting individual team members and well-being, having a motivating culture, and effective leadership and learning. The team leader should live the team's mandate, encourage potential and fairness, and balance concern for people and delivering results.
1) Don't set rules for your employees that you don't follow yourself. Lead by example to earn your team's respect.
2) Don't lie to or mislead your employees. If you can't share information, be honest about that instead of providing false facts.
3) Don't take your personal frustrations out on your team members. As a manager, you must remain calm and supportive even during stressful times.
This document discusses the difference between a manager and a leader. It states that a manager's role is their career, while leadership is a calling. The key difference is that leaders gain followers by placing their trust in their people and having their people trust them in return to create greater success. While controls are still needed in companies, leaders solve problems through empowering their people rather than alone. Effective leadership is based on clearly defined beliefs that are lived out through courageous actions.
The document outlines a process for growing leaders from the inside out over 14-16 months. It involves 5 sessions focused on self-awareness, self-management, empathy, relationship management, and leading with integrity and courage. Managers complete assessments at the start and during the process to measure their effectiveness. Field application and coaching occurs between sessions to implement learning. The goal is for managers to develop the skills and perspectives to lead their teams strategically.
The document discusses the guiding principles of the Blitz approach to career advancement. It outlines 10 principles: 1) career self-reliance, 2) shared responsibility, 3) perception management, 4) shared success, 5) shared vision, 6) trust, 7) accountability, 8) innovation, 9) communication, and 10) commitment. The principles are meant to guide career teams in developing and implementing strategies using the Blitz approach. Effective application of these principles can help career teams overcome obstacles and achieve their goals through collaborative effort.

Presentation for #TFT12: Murders & Aquisitions - Leading Through Transition.
It was a dark and stormy night and in the dimly lit boardroom of X-Con, the directors watched their Chairman gazing out the floor to ceiling window. The room was filled with secret anticipation, the secret joy of committing the easiest and most unpunished of crimes... The impact and management of people during a merger, acquisition or internal restructure.
Simone discusses the creation, preservation and destructive facets of why murders and acquisitions occur and the quandary in dealing with the resulting emotional turmoil.

The document discusses effective leadership and being responsive versus reactive. It focuses on developing the right competencies and relationships with people. Leaders should assess how responsive they are to issues and influence others to adapt appropriately. Responsive leaders are thoughtful, intentional, calm and adaptive to circumstances, while reactive leaders automatically respond in stressful situations. Effective leaders exhibit effective attitudes, thinking processes, feelings, behaviors and results. They think strategically about valuing people for business success. Responsive leadership strategies include taking deep breaths, gaining perspective, acting thoughtfully and learning from experiences. Qualities of effective leaders include confidence during crises, curiosity about conflicts, and courage during challenges.
This chapter discusses work motivation from three approaches: the individual differences approach, the job and organization approach, and the managerial approach. It provides learning objectives on factors that influence employee motivation, how goals and rewards can improve performance, and how job content and organizational context affect motivation. The chapter also summarizes several theories of motivation, including reinforcement theory, Herzberg's two-factor theory, Hackman and Oldham's job characteristics model, equity theory, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, ERG theory, and the integrative expectancy model. Managers are provided guidelines for improving employee performance and motivation.
This is a presentation prepared by me when applying for the Placement committee in my college. Its an honour to represent the specialization in a post of such great responsibility.
This document discusses organizational change for adult educators and focuses on four key areas: merger, structure, adopted beliefs and values, and reflection. It examines how mergers impact an organization's structure and culture, the importance of aligning structure with adopted values and beliefs, and encourages reflection to stimulate intellectual growth and inspire positive change.
1) A high-performing family functions well by allowing for individual preferences and talents while also binding members emotionally to go above and beyond until success is achieved.
2) Key factors that enable high performance in families - providing room for individual preferences and talents, which leads to fulfillment, and creating an emotional bond that compels extra effort.
3) These same factors can impact organizational performance when managers identify employees' preferences, unfold their hidden talents, and develop emotional competencies that motivate going above and beyond.
This document contains notes from a tutorial on the global context of modern business. It discusses several topics:
- An activity where students debate whether Turkey should be allowed accession to the European Union.
- Why low-cost airlines have grown in the EU and why state aid is a particular problem for the European airline industry.
- Issues around mergers and acquisitions in the music industry, including a proposed merger between EMI and Universal that raised antitrust concerns but was eventually cleared by EU and US regulators with certain commitments made to divest assets.
The document discusses stress and its management in the workplace. It asserts that a moderate level of stress can improve motivation and performance, according to the Yerkes-Dodson law, but implementing this in practice poses challenges. Assembly line workers and CEOs would experience different types of stressors due to their roles. As a manager, steps should be taken to improve staff quality of work life, such as identifying personal stressors and coping strategies to manage pressures from work, university, and personal problems.
The document discusses the Inverted-U Model, also known as the Yerkes-Dodson Law, which shows that peak performance is achieved with a moderate level of pressure. Too much or too little pressure can cause performance to decline. Four main factors influence the model: skill level, personality, trait anxiety, and task complexity. Applying the model helps balance pressure and maximize performance by considering these factors when assigning tasks. The key is to avoid overloading or underutilizing people.
This document discusses theories of arousal and its relationship to performance. It defines arousal and activation, and lists effects of arousal such as increased heart rate and sweating. It describes four theories of arousal: drive theory, inverted U theory, catastrophe theory, and the zone of optimal functioning. Inverted U theory proposes that performance increases with arousal up to an optimal point, after which further increases in arousal impair performance. The zone of optimal functioning also involves finding an optimal arousal level that differs for each individual and situation. Characteristics of being in the zone include confidence, focus, and feeling effortless and relaxed.
Emotions and sporting performance can negatively impact an athlete if not properly controlled. Different theories attempt to explain the relationship between arousal and performance. Drive theory suggests performance increases linearly with arousal, but skilled athletes may "choke" under pressure. Inverted-U theory proposes optimal performance at moderate arousal, declining at low and high levels. Catastrophe theory adds that excessive cognitive anxiety can cause catastrophic performance decline if arousal isn't reduced through support.

Project Management and the Stock MarketLou Russell
You're managing a critical project for your organization, you've gone through all the financial hoops when half-way through the project it is delayed a few months because other initiatives needed to continue are not complete. No harm, no foul, right? Stopping a project releases the resources so the 'cost' is suspended until the project starts again. In a publicly traded company, this is NOT true. Learn basic corporate finance and understand why stalled projects can directly impact the stock price of a large corporation and it's borrowing power. This explains you're sponsor's red face, doesn't it?
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help alleviate symptoms of mental illness and boost overall mental well-being.
This document discusses systems thinking and causal loop diagrams. It provides examples of causal loop diagrams mapping the relationships between donations, fundraising, revenue, and staffing for a nonprofit organization. The diagrams show reinforcing loops, where increases/decreases in one variable lead to same-direction changes in connected variables, and balancing loops, where changes in one variable lead to opposite changes in others. The document encourages readers to identify leverage points and test interventions using their causal loop diagram models.

The Battle Rages: 5 Strategies to Combat Constant Scope CreepLou Russell
Trying to control the scope of a project is futile. Scope will change, and often. Learn how to expect scope change and adapt to the demands of the organization. You’ll:
Baseline the scope of a project in a visual model to set initial scope expectations and uncover bad news early.
Identify the risks that may occur and create a plan to mitigate them.
Convert project issues to tasks with dates and one name to hold people accountable and ensure the project moves forward.
Negotiate scope by creating recommendations, options and governance plans.
Learn how to say "yes" to scope change and to say "no" to chaos.
Get a sneak preview of a couple of the sessions Lou will be teaching during Training 2013. This free webinar is an hour-long overview on Strategies to Combat Scope Creep and some of the Fatal Mistakes All Learning Developers Make. We'll share our approach by combining ADDIE with the DARE project management model to help you avoid those mistakes. Have constant scope creep? Trying to control the scope of a project is futile- it will change- and often! Learn how to adapt. This is a great opportunity to preview two sessions from Orlando- Sorry- the last one is TOP secret and you'll just have to join her to hear that one!
There are three components to a successful project manager: behaviors, workplace motivators, and task competence. Research done by Target Training International has revealed a baseline model that predicts project management success. Learn how you can compare your aptitude with the model.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
