This document discusses managing culture and the hidden dynamics that can make or break success. It highlights how a mismatch between a new hire's style and a company's culture can lead to problems over time. The solution involves becoming aware of personal and cultural "patterns", like motivation sources and criteria, to better understand disconnects and find ways to connect and influence the culture. Understanding criteria and patterns can help with decision making, communication, and achieving success within a role or organization.
This is a quick overview of three assessments I am familiar with, which are DiSC profile, TKI - Thomas Killian Conflict Mode Instrument, and Kolb - Learning/Thinking/Working Styles.

Our ability to learn new ways to think is the power of human potential. We have to make choices about the types of thinking that we apply to a
variety of different challenges.
Critical Thinking is the act of examining a set of facts and analyzing and evaluating relevant information. We live in a knowledge based society, and
the more critically you think the better your knowledge will be. Critical Thinking provides you with the skills to analyze and evaluate information so
that you are able to obtain the greatest amount of knowledge from it. It provides the best chance of making the correct decision, and minimizes
damages if a mistake does occur. Critical Thinking will lead to being a more rational and disciplined thinker. It will reduce your prejudice and bias,
which will provide you a better understanding of your environment.
This workshop will provide you the skills to evaluate, identify, and distinguish between relevant and irrelevant information. It will lead you to be more
productive in your career, and provide a great skill in your everyday life.
Lastly, critical thinking skills will support your capacity to be innovative. Once you fully understand what it is, you can begin exploring what could be.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to answer the following questions:
1) What is critical thinking?
2) How can I use nonlinear thinking strategies?
3) What does it mean for me to apply logic to situations?
4) How do I know when, how, and why to think critically about a challenge?
5) What skills allow be to better evaluate facts and data?
6) How will thinking differently effect my decision outcomes?
7) How can I challenge my self to see alternate perspectives?
8) How can I increase my problem solving abilities?

Critical thinking is a intellectually disciplined process of actively and skilfully conceptualising, applying, synthesising and evaluating information gathered by observation, experience, reasoning or communication as a guide to belief and action.
Emotional Intelligence is the most important concept that need to be considered for personality development. Ensuring developed and skilled interaction with others is the need of hour.
5 Steps for Successful Interviewing and SelectionRobin Schooling
The sustained success of any organization depends upon hiring the right people, in the right job, at the right time. Planning for human resources needs, specifically defining the necessary competencies and capabilities needed, is one of the greatest challenges facing managers. The journey to successful interviewing and selection begins with an understanding of these 5 basic steps.
In this presentation at the 2014 Canadian Society for Training & Development, Behavioral Change Expert Heather Hilliard explains why training and development programs need to take into account how the brain learns and provide opportunities for individuals with different brain styles to get the experiences they need. Organizations waste billions of dollars yearly on poorly designed and executed programs that fail to improve overall leadership and employee performance.
Diversity is a critical issue for organizations. To devalue and exclude employees because they are different is to also place limitations on their contributions and ability to grow. At its best, diversity is a business strategy that has been shown to increase an organization’s ability to achieve better bottom-line performance and sustain its growth and prosperity.

Authentic Leadership - Focusing on Strengths and SolutionsTim Bright
My presentation at the 5th Bursa Management Conference in December 2012. The conference is organised by the Bursa Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BTSO) and Peryon (the HR association).
People at board and top management typically believe that transforming a company from good to great requires an extreme personality, an egocentric chief to lead the corporate charge. But that’s not the case in 21st century management world, where the basic essence of management is more of human emotions and sentiments centric. The essential ingredient for taking a company to greatness is having a “Level 5” leader, an executive in whom extreme personal humility blends paradoxically with intense professional will. This session will focus on explaining the various aspects of leadership and its levels and will focus on the hardcore aspect of transformational leadership which not only focuses on ‘having jobs done’ and ‘having targets met’ but will transform an organization from ‘good’ to ‘great’. It involves explanation of difference between a manager and a leader and how leadership has become an essential element of modern managing function and what are the competencies relevant to leadership qualities. The core learning that will be transferred during this session is that a leader needs IQ and Technical Expertise for sure, but there is something more important if a leader needs to exercise Level 5 transformational leadership and that is EQ (Emotional Quotient). Various dimensions of EQ a Level 5 leaders should possess will be explained and focus will be put on how such EQ can be developed. The session ends with some strategic suggestions for exercise of Level 5 leadership for taking organization from ‘good’ to ‘great’.
The presentation will introduce you to the different ways teachers can help learners to be better prepared for life in the 21st century. There are many ideas which teachers are already using every day such as Global Awareness and Cross Curricular Skills, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving, Communication and Collaboration. The author of the presentation reflects on how we can develop such skills while teaching English to our students.

Stephanie Cooper - Genuine Curiosity - Conversations for ChangeAgileNZ Conference
People often ask for the golden phrase, the silver bullet they can use to convince their teams, managers or executives to ‘go Agile’. While it would certainly help to talk about outcomes and benefits over practices and methods, it can sometimes be your own mindset that is holding back your ability to influence change.
In this session, Steph looks at mindsets (the values and assumptions you make) and explore how a lack of genuine curiosity can provoke defensive behaviours in others and stop organisations from resolving the issues that really matter, but are challenging to address.
She’ll use the setting of a small conversation to explore and better understand these ideas. While organisational change is big, the momentum for change can often be won or lost in small conversations. Becoming better in small conversations will help you grow your role in influencing organisational change. When you approach conversations with genuine curiosity about the other person’s point of view, you will not only have a more productive conversation, but build the trust needed for the work ahead.
These ideas and techniques are popular as they are accessible and relatively easy to adopt.
