Overcoming the Zombies Among Us. How to Create a Culture That Fosters Employe...BizLibrary
Zombies are the walking dead. Disengaged employees are dead productivity-wise. Both are contagious and pose a risk to those among them. Additionally, disengaged employees cost organizations a lot of money.
The frightening facts:
* 60% of employees are actively disengaged – 2:1 ratio
* Nearly 1/3 of employees think their managers fail to effectively communicate goals.
*40% of employees say they don't receive regular, clear feedback on their performance from their manager.
(Sources: Gallup and Tower Perrins.)
So, how can we overcome the walking dead and create a culture that fosters engagement. The cure? Your managers. In this webinar we'll discuss how to provide managers with training that helps them:
- Be better coaches.
- Identify skill gaps and development needs.
- Set clear, achievable goals aligned with your organization.
- Recognize and give feedback
This session is approved for 1 hour general CE credit for HR.
All managers need some guidance on the whys and hows of coaching, but most organizations can’t afford to train them on a large scale, so the least you can do is make an effort to create a culture of coaching. The key is to create a pool of manager-coaches who can be role models, supporters and sustainers of a coaching mindset.
When you select the right people and invest in their development and position them as coaching advocates, you plant the seeds for expanding coaching well beyond the individual manager-direct report relationship. Your role models demonstrate effective coaching both formally and informally, and they help motivate others to use and improve their own coaching capabilities.
Always link the purpose and results of coaching to the business. Managers have to know the business case for coaching and developing others if they’re to value it and use it effectively. Where is the business headed? What leadership skills are needed to get us there? How should coaches work with direct reports to provide the feedback, information and experiences they need to build those needed skills? Set strategic coaching goals, tactics and measures for the organization as well as including coaching as an individual metric.

Why and how coaching is helping change the game and enhancing the success of ...Greatness Coaching
8 traits of a coach/leader enabling inclusion, diversity, agility and collaboration:
1. Authentic and humble
2. Holistic listener
3. Learner of the leader’s Greatness
4. Non-judgmental thinking-partner
5. Comfortable with not knowing, with failure, trusting process
6. Empathetic, yet detached from outcome
7. Courageous feedback-provider
8. Supportive challenger
Organizations traditionally conduct an annual employee engagement survey and are often 'surprised' at the results. It is no secret that the extent to which an employee is fully engaged is in large part dependent on the work relationship with his direct manager. The session will discuss how managers can transform from being a 'boss' to a 'coach.' Attendees will gain insight into how managers can make this transition to enhance their relationship with their employees. This session will also give attendees insight on how to help performance conversations be less stressful and more productive.

This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

4. How we define coaching in this book
If you used the word coach as little as 10–15 years ago, most
people would equate that with some type of athletic, artistic or
educational endeavor. A person who utilized a coach was probably an
aspiring athlete, artist or student looking to improve his/her game,
performance or grades. In fact, the American Heritage Dictionary defines
coaching this way: ―A person who trains athletes or athletic teams; a
person who gives instruction, as in singing or acting; a private tutor
employed to prepare a student for an examination.‖
Before the 21st century, the word, coaching, was not used much
in the business world. But what a difference 10 or 15 years makes!
Google the words ―Coaching Organization‖ today and you will find
over 6,500,000 matches. Coaching organizations and businesses have
grown faster than green grass on a warm day after a Minnesota spring
rain. Much is being written in the world of business about coaching,
and most of us probably know someone who in recent years has
developed a business as a life coach or executive coach. Because this
term is relatively new and carries so many different meanings, let’s
narrow its definition and scope in light of this book.
5. Ask any 10 professional coaches their definition of coaching,
and you’ll probably get at least 10 different definitions. Yet all would
probably agree coaching contains most of these elements:
It is a dialogue of some sort — either face to face, by phone or
by electronic communication.
It is generally a one-to-one relationship.
It usually involves observing behavior and giving feedback to
the coachee.
It is primarily designed to help the coachee learn, grow,
perform and get better results.
It has as its end goal the accomplishment of personal and/or
professional goals.
Madeline Homan and Linda Miller sum it up well with their
definition in their new book, Coaching in Organizations: “Coaching is a
deliberate process using focused conversations to create an
environment for growth, purposeful action, and sustained
improvement.”
There are many different kinds of coaching being used in
organizations today. Here is what this book is not about. It is not
specifically aimed at Life Coaching (helping individuals achieve
personal goals) or Executive Coaching (preparing business leaders for
career growth). It is aimed at Performance Coaching (showing
managers how to help their individual contributors grow and achieve
enhanced performance). Note that the aim is twofold: 1) the growth of
6. the individual, and 2) the accomplishment of better results. In simple
terms, the aim of Coaching for Results is ―growing people — getting
results!‖
The emphasis of this book, then, is helping internal managers,
supervisors and other ―people leaders‖ become effective in the roles
of, and skills of, a great coach. While many organizations are hiring
outside coaches to help their people, the premise of this book is that
significant growth and development, and enhanced results can be
obtained by training internal managers to be effective coaches for their
direct reports. That’s the purpose of this work. Enjoy learning about
Coaching for Results!

13. One of the most pressing challenges facing organizations in
America today is finding and keeping talented people. All the data
point to the fact that we are in an era where there are more jobs than
there are skilled people to fill those jobs. Our talent pool is shrinking!
It’s not that we don’t have enough people to fill the jobs — we just
don’t have the right match of skilled, intelligent people who can keep
us competitive in today’s marketplace.
With such a short supply of good people, an important task for
managers and leaders is to learn how to develop their people to their
full potential. That is the purpose of this book on Coaching for
Results. We define coaching as a series of meaningful conversations
designed to grow people while getting results. Notice that coaching is a
balance of getting results while helping people grow. Few people will
have the opportunity to fully develop their potential without the help
of a competent and caring coach. And that is becoming the role of
more and more managers today — learning how to coach their people.
Just as an athletic coach works to bring out the best in his/her team
14. members, managers in organizations today need to learn how to coach
and develop their people.
From Boss to Coach
Although some organizations today have made the leap from
the old-style ―command and control‖ type of organizational model,
many managers still rely on this method. And let’s be honest about it:
it’s rather compelling to become the boss, isn’t it? When we finally
reach that goal of becoming a ―person in charge,‖ it feels like we’ve
earned the right to be in charge. We’ve paid our dues. We’ve worked
hard for this promotion, and now everybody else had better do what
we want them to do! We begin to develop the habits of ―being the
boss‖ that we’ve seen modeled by others above us.
This approach to managing has worked well for the U.S.
military and in some organizational cultures where there is little to no
change going on. It works when you only want people to salute and do
exactly what you’ve asked them to do. While it may work in the short
term, it is shortsighted in most organizational cultures today. Most
workers want to be treated like human beings, not machines. They
resent being pushed and prodded, with no input into the direction of
the team or the decisions being made. They want a manager who
understands the importance of helping them grow while they get the
needed results.
Although this is a bit simplistic, here is a summary of the
differences between being a coach and a boss:
15. Coaching Bossing
Leading and inspiring Dictating and controlling
Asking and listening Telling and directing
Seeks the answers Knows the answers
Goal driven Process driven
Future oriented Past/present oriented
Customer/people focused Systems/process focused
Setting direction Setting plans and rules
Empowering Controlling
Looks for solutions Looks for problems/blame
Seeing people as they could be Seeing people as they are
Bosses often have a philosophy about people that says they are
lazy and need to be ―motivated.‖ They need to be poked and prodded
to get things done. They use the old ―carrot and stick‖ philosophy,
appealing to reward or fear. Bosses believe they know the answers to
issues and problems, and that their people should listen to them and
comply with their requests. They generally try to solve all the problems
and make all the decisions themselves, missing out on the input of their
people. Bosses tend to talk at people, directing and controlling.
Coaches tend to operate with a philosophy about people that
says most people want to be effective and productive, and they often
need someone to challenge them and encourage them along the way.
16. Coaches believe that:
You can’t motivate people. People are already motivated (but
for their own reasons).
You can create an environment in which people motivate
themselves (when you tap into their reasons).
The way you create a motivational environment is to
understand the needs and values of people, and meet those
needs and reinforce those values in the workplace.
The most satisfying and productive relationships are authentic.
In authentic relationships, people are free to say what’s on their
minds — the thinking and saying gaps are small. Open
communication is common and encouraged.
People grow best when a competent and caring coach helps
them see the impact of their behaviors.
