This chapter clarifies the traditional concept of Human Resources with Human Capital. Human Capital views people as assets for what knowledge and skills they bring to a company. While the term, Human Resources, seems like a synonymous definition with Human Capital, over the past few decades, HR has developed into a term used to describe the management of people. Human Capital, on the other hand, recognizes a business leader’s need to surround themselves with other knowledgeable people who possess experiences in specific areas of specialization to help their company succeed. In short, business managers manage projects, materials and time. Business leaders inspire and guide people.
SkillsCamp is a soft skills training company. We are helping you retain and maintain engaged, effective employees through soft skill development.
Across all industries, employers and industry leaders are identifying soft skills like communication, teamwork, time management, emotional intelligence, and leadership as critical skills for prospects and employees alike.

SkillsCamp teaches this “missing curriculum” to help people become more employable and more effective leaders and contributors.
This document provides a white paper on making the business case for learning and development programs.

In Fusion Team Model 2009 (Creator: Adam Thomas)adamthomas130
The InFusion Team Model was created to provide opportunities to make professional development and learning experiences personally relevant and intrinsically rewarding thus leading to an increase in self-directedness and motivation: the very two components needed to excel in training programs and the world today.
John Sutherland discusses three problems with traditional leadership development programs and three key solutions. The problems are: 1) There is no universal leadership model as the skills needed depend on the organization's context. 2) Leaders cannot develop in isolation from their followers. 3) Telling leaders how to lead makes followers, not leaders. The solutions are: 1) Develop a coherent sense of organizational direction. 2) Clarify the specific leadership skills needed to achieve business goals. 3) Run leadership development during regular business to strengthen existing projects. Sutherland argues leaders must work as a pack, not individuals, to effectively achieve business objectives.

This document is a chapter from a book titled "The First Time Manager" about managing people. It discusses some of the challenges new managers face such as taking on more responsibilities, increased scrutiny, and being responsible for others' work. It explains how managers are evaluated based on their team's collective performance rather than individual contributions. A new manager may have trouble adjusting their perspective from an individual employee to considering the company's needs. The chapter emphasizes understanding one's new responsibilities as a manager and considering all factors and potential consequences of decisions, not just how things appear currently.
The document discusses effective leadership in organizations and what Gen Y workers look for in leaders. It notes that while individual leaders are important, an organization's leadership capacity over time is even more crucial. Leaders guide others' behavior to achieve goals, while leadership refers to developing future leaders. Additionally, organizations must invest in both developing current leaders and growing leadership depth overall. The document also outlines that Gen Y workers particularly admire leaders who can influence and inspire them, and they seek leaders who are caring, inspiring and competent.
The document discusses career development and management development. It defines career planning as selecting goals and paths to achieve them, while career development consists of personal actions to achieve a career plan. Management development is an organization's effort to provide managers opportunities to learn and improve skills to function effectively. Various strategies for management development are discussed, including education, training, and on-the-job experiences.

Role of remote leadership in managing challenges of virtual teamsRashmi Barade
This document discusses the role of remote leadership in managing challenges of virtual teams. It begins by outlining how virtual teams are increasingly common due to technologies that enable remote work. Some key challenges of virtual teams include establishing trust, dealing with team dispersion across time zones and cultures, and feelings of isolation. The document then discusses strategies that remote leaders can use to address these challenges, including building trust, selecting candidates with the right skills, shifting to a relationship-oriented leadership style, clear communication of goals and roles, encouraging engagement through tools, and providing feedback and measuring performance. Remote leadership is key to maximizing the benefits of virtual teams while minimizing the challenges.
The document discusses the relationship between conceptual knowledge and experience in learning. It argues that conceptual knowledge and experience should complement each other rather than compete. At the individual level, the experiential learning theory involving concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization and active experimentation can help integrate the two. At the organizational level, allowing less experienced staff to present frameworks and more experienced staff to provide real-world examples can create an integrative learning environment where both conceptual knowledge and experience are leveraged. Viewing learning as a continuous process that combines these two aspects can help avoid missed opportunities.

Social HR: Transform Your Employees, Transform Your OrganizationElizabeth Lupfer
Social HR aims to improve employee experience and engagement through a social approach. It transforms employees by providing resources to support collaboration, and transforms organizations by establishing trust and a distinctive culture. A social workplace considers the employee lifecycle from attraction to separation, treating interactions as a relationship rather than isolated transactions. To lead social change, HR must step up as a visionary to own the employee-organization relationship and drive an integrated social experience.

The document discusses personal and professional development. It covers various topics related to self-managed learning approaches, skills required to meet organizational goals, identifying personal and professional development needs, creating a personal development plan, and improving performance. Some key points include discussing different approaches to self-managed learning like meta learning and strategic learning. It also outlines skills managers need like technical, conceptual, and communication skills. Developing personal and professional needs involves self-reflection and developing personal leadership. Creating a personal development plan involves setting short, mid, and long-term goals. Performance can be improved by evaluating personal learning against development plan aims and modifying the plan over time.
This document discusses how to build trust in an organization. It defines trust as a "state of readiness for unguarded interaction" and identifies credibility, respect, and fairness as the key foundations of trust. Trust develops through actions and interactions that demonstrate these qualities. High-trust organizations experience benefits like increased profitability and lower turnover. However, surveys find that most employees experience breaches of trust at work. To rebuild trust, leaders must assess the current level of trust and take steps to improve it, such as demonstrating integrity, respecting employees, encouraging open communication, and sharing decision-making.
How To Build Engaged, Motivated and Profitable Teams with Enterprise MENTORenterpriseleaders
This document discusses how managers can build engaged, motivated teams to increase profits through mentoring. It argues that mentoring employees is important for development but can be expensive. It introduces the Enterprise MENTOR program, a structured mentoring approach that allows managers to develop their teams in a cost-effective way and get more out of employees than previously thought possible. The program aims to help managers improve metrics like revenue, customer service, and employee engagement.

Topics include facilitating group discussions, connecting to challenges and leadership, defining leadership skills, writing in the workplace, and designing effective presentations. Brief biographies are provided for each speaker. Successful completion of MLDP strengthens students' applications for internship and fellowship opportunities.
The keynote presentation discusses leaving a leadership legacy and focuses on three main points:
1) The best leaders serve others rather than themselves and teach those under their leadership, ensuring long lasting impact.
2) Effective leaders sacrifice their own interests and view their role as service to make a difference and leave a legacy.
3) As managers, you are the most important leaders to your direct reports and have the ability to make things happen for others through determined action and passion, ultimately touching lives and leaving the world better than you found it.
This document discusses the importance of awareness in management. It argues that awareness is an elusive but important concept that goes beyond simple understanding. While business schools aim to teach management skills and knowledge, they cannot guarantee a student's success, as human beings are unpredictable. True awareness implies change and is a key competitive advantage for managers. The document proposes 10 attributes that could help anticipate a good manager's success, including initiative, discipline, communication skills, and ability to build networks. Developing one's awareness abilities is important for improving these attributes.

This document discusses how to teach soft skills that employers need. It begins by listing various soft skills like communication, problem solving, creativity, and integrity. It defines soft skills as personal attributes that enhance interactions and job performance. Soft skills complement hard skills which are specific job requirements. The skills gap challenge is mentioned, as young workers will change careers many times, so soft skills will be important for lifetime employability. Employers seek leadership, attitude, and potential over specific skills. The document provides employer comments on qualities like character, practical training, and thinking outside the box. It concludes by asking how educators can integrate soft skills in the classroom, such as mimicking a workplace environment.

This document provides guidance and reflections for educational leaders. It discusses the importance of reflecting on one's leadership journey and understanding the context in which one leads. Great leaders confront brutal facts, stick to their core values such as focusing on students, build strong relationships, and continuously reflect and improve. To drive growth, leaders must provide vision, excellence and service while fostering innovation. Leaders are called to address problems with small, practical solutions and continue progressing each day.
The document discusses important leadership skills for nurses. It states that nurses interact with many different people and should gain knowledge of leadership and followership to interact effectively. Leadership is broader than management as it focuses on influence, whereas management focuses on achieving organizational goals. Important leadership skills include goal setting, critical thinking, problem solving, respecting individuals, communication, vision, and personal development. As a new nurse, it is important to set priorities, evaluate tasks, eliminate unnecessary tasks, and develop skills to become an effective leader.
Dr. Prasad Kaipa is the executive director of the Centre for Leadership, Innovation and Change at the Indian School of Business. He has coached over 100 CEOs and executives. The document discusses questions around whether business schools truly prepare students for leadership. It notes that leadership emerges through context and opportunities, and cannot be taught by others - students must take responsibility for their own development. While business schools can help by providing models and feedback, leadership is a journey that requires ambition, talent, hard work, and developing qualities like self-awareness over time.
The document discusses leadership at multiple levels including developing oneself as a leader, building relationships, developing strategies, and transforming organizations. It provides examples of leadership in action including revising a school's vision and implementing student-led conferences. Leaders are encouraged to develop self-awareness, build community, think strategically, apply leadership skills to create change, and establish supportive systems and structures.
The document provides an agenda for the 2011 Institute for Staff Development hosted by the National Academy Foundation from July 17-19, 2011 in San Francisco. The agenda includes:

It concludes by requesting participation in action learning to achieve this vision.
Leadership coaching for performance & developmentBomi Manekshaw
Executive coaching can help bridge the gap between what leaders learn and what they actually apply on the job. Coaches provide ongoing advice, support, and accountability to help ensure leaders implement changes, rather than slipping back into old habits. While leadership programs aim to increase understanding, they often fail to impact behavior due to leaders' heavy workloads. Coaching addresses this by working with leaders over time. Most large companies now use both internal and external coaching to develop leaders in a cost-effective way and build internal coaching expertise, while also gaining outside perspectives.
Exploring leadership and management rolesdutconsult
Leadership and management are different roles that both involve influencing people but in distinct ways. Leadership focuses more on vision, inspiration and relationships while management focuses more on work activities like planning, organizing and resource coordination. Both roles are important but an effective leader also needs strong management skills to support their vision through execution and problem solving.
