Good and evil are difficult to define precisely since perceptions of them can vary between individuals and depend on circumstances. Zimbardo defines evil as intentionally harming or killing innocent people, while good involves altruism. Defining evil is challenging because what is considered evil can be relative and depend on four perspectives: whether something is relative to good, if certain behaviors are always evil, if there is proper reasoning behind an action, and how people generally perceive good and bad. People commit evil acts to achieve wants or live up to expectations, and societal or emotional pressures can influence whether acts are seen as evil or rational in certain situations.
This document discusses differences in communication between men and women and strategies to improve communication. It notes that men are generally more task-focused while women focus more on relationships. It also discusses the confidence gap, with women often discounting themselves, and that men are more likely to be aggressive. The document provides five strategies to improve communication: having humility and being open; having confidence; stopping the tendency to discount oneself; establishing boundaries; and being authentic.

This article discusses dysfunctional anger and provides information about the Michigan Anger Management Institute. It describes how anger can become dysfunctional when it occurs too often, is too intense, or leads to harm. The article then explains that the Michigan Anger Management Institute offers an anger management system called "Pump the B.R.A.K.E.S." which teaches communication skills and stress reduction techniques to manage anger. Finally, it provides the website for the institute and encourages readers considering anger management as a New Year's resolution.
The document provides information about the character Carl Brashear, including that he was the first African American Navy diver and the movie is based on his inspiring biography. It also gives the director's name and notes that working with an established white actor was a big move. Additionally, it summarizes the results of Carl Brashear's MBTI personality test, showing he had a moderately expressed introvert, intuitive, feeling and judging personality.
Four Reasons Why Dirty Politics Create "Bad" Leaders summarizes how human psychology and modern political campaigns contribute to choosing flawed candidates. The document analyzes four reasons: 1) the "we-they" effect creates polarization, 2) a preference for confident, male leaders overlooks narcissism, 3) cognitive laziness prevents proper candidate evaluation, and 4) negative information outweighs positives due to mudslinging. To improve the selection process, the author argues that voters should reject negative campaigning, carefully investigate candidates beyond initial impressions, and recognize candidates have merits in addition to flaws.

It also addresses common career paths for law librarians, including titles like director, knowledge management attorney, and chief information officer. Salary ranges are provided for different positions. Charts show average compensation levels and job satisfaction rates among law librarians. The document encourages law librarians to create and sponsor opportunities to shape their profession and career advancement.
An introduction to the three factors that develop conscious leaders: embracing depth (presence, spacious awareness), accepting shadow (repressed qualities) and holding complexity.
What is a Fake Leader (FL)? It is someone disguised as a person in a leadership position who focuses on self and not the organization or ultimate good of people. It’s someone caught in minutia and is incapable of seeing the big picture, someone who misses the needed day-to-day facts to support growth and well being of people and the organization. A person in a leadership position, who renders opinions without substance, does not inspire followers to achieve a vision, nor inspire followers to want to work together as a team. Fake Leaders talk a good game and produce very little. They are focused on self, money, and self-aggrandizement. They confuse a vision of hope with threatening statements and forecast a better place for followers through half-truths and retracted statements, with promises that we will be told the rest of the story in a few days.
The document summarizes a media project about a character named Brad who has delusional disorder and hallucinations. The creators aimed to portray how mental illness can affect someone who seems normal. They represented the male character as powerful and intelligent to create an "anti-hero" despite his illnesses. No women were directly portrayed but the planned female lead was to match the male lead. An actor was chosen who could best portray the character through his personality rather than his exact age. The film implies deaths through crossed-out pictures on a board but does not show any deaths directly.
Ed Batista, The Art of Self-Coaching @StanfordBiz, Class 7: VULNERABILITYEd Batista
This document outlines the agenda and key topics for a class on vulnerability and meta-emotions. The class includes discussions of shame and empathy, telling personal stories in small groups, examining myths and questions about vulnerability, and exploring meta-emotions and how to manage uncomfortable feelings about emotions. It emphasizes that practicing vulnerability can build important skills for leaders but can also be destructive if not managed effectively. For next class, students are asked to read about unhappiness from different perspectives and be prepared to briefly share a personal source of unhappiness.
Thank you for sharing these thought-provoking examples. As conflict resolvers, we are often called to balance competing interests and perspectives in nuanced ways. While there are rarely perfect answers, approaching each situation with empathy, creativity and commitment to understanding all sides is key.

Our role is to help parties find their highest shared interests and humanize each other, even in the face of real harms or distrust. With empathy, creativity and a commitment to nonviolence, meaningful progress can be made.
This document contains a series of quotes attributed to various figures such as Bill Harris, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Rumi, Carl Rogers, and Mahatma Gandhi. The quotes discuss topics such as not consciously doing things that are bad for you, observing without evaluating, going beyond ideas of right and wrong, getting what you can for free, and not mixing up habits with natural behaviors.

NonViolent Communication - Gamestorming Barcelona sessionJaume Jornet Rivas
This document discusses Nonviolent Communication (NVC), which is a method of compassionate communication focused on observing objectively, identifying feelings, acknowledging needs, and making requests to have needs met in a way that respects all people. The core of NVC involves expressing how an observation makes one feel and what needs are not being met, then making a request without demanding, criticism, or blame. The goal of NVC is building harmonious relationships through empathetic listening and honest yet kind self-expression.
A Brief Introduction to Nonviolent Communication (also called Compassionate C...Alexandria Skinner
This is a very brief summary of the principles of Nonviolent Communication, as outlined in the book Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshall Rosenberg. Also called "compassionate communication," NVC should be of interest to anyone who is interested in better communication and conflict resolution, including professionals in the fields of mediation, counseling, legal representation, social work, and negotiation. A trainer in Nonviolent Communication has agreed to come to Columbia, South Carolina, and conduct a two day training in April of 2014. The principles which underlie this method of communicating have potential to transform relationships for the better. It is also expected to qualify for continuing professional education credit for professionals in the fields of law, social work, and counseling. There will be a fee, but it will be reasonable. Please contact me if you are interested in further information.
The Nonviolent Communication Circle of Life mandala illustrates the process of NVC through three concentric circles. The inner circle represents the four components of NVC - observations, feelings, needs, and requests - and symbolizes balance and wholeness when communicating from this compassionate place. The middle circle focuses on connecting needs and living in the present moment. The outer circle depicts separation and reactive thinking that can occur without NVC, inviting a return to the balanced inner circle.
This document outlines a framework for understanding human needs organized into four categories: survival, protection, connection, and meaning. It defines needs as universal resources required to sustain and enrich life, making no reference to how those needs are met. A key distinction is drawn between needs themselves and the specific strategies or behaviors used to meet those needs. The framework is inspired by the work of psychologists Marshall Rosenberg and Manfred Max-Neef.

La communication est une des valeurs fondamentales de l'Agilité. Mais savons-nous vraiment communiquer ?
Dans une équipe, lorsque la communication fait défaut ou lorsqu'elle se base sur le jugement, la confiance et la collaboration peuvent être sensiblement affectées. Des conflits relationnels peuvent même éclater. Et c’est tout le travail de l’équipe qui en pâtit. C'est d'autant plus vrai en Agilité que les interactions entre les personnes sont encouragées et fréquentes.
La Communication Non Violente de Marshall B. Rosenberg propose un processus simple pour mieux se connaître et mieux gérer sa relation aux autres. Il est basé sur quatre étapes :
l'observation sans jugement,
l'identification de ses sentiments,
la reconnaissance de ses besoins,
la formulation d'une demande claire.
Prenons l'exemple d'une équipe Scrum qui échoue à livrer toutes les stories d'un sprint. Une réaction énervée du Product Owner pourrait être : "Comment peut-on travailler avec vous, vous n’êtes même pas capable de tenir votre engagement !". Dans le langage de la CNV, le Product Owner dirait : "Les utilisateurs attendent avec impatience ces nouvelles fonctionnalités [1.Observation]. Je suis vraiment ennuyé [2.Sentiment] car je tiens à les satisfaire [3.Besoin]. Pouvons-nous en discuter en rétrospective [4.Demande] ?"
Si le processus est simple à comprendre, il demande beaucoup d'entraînement avant d'être maîtrisé. Heureusement, pour en bénéficier, nul besoin d'avoir une pratique approfondie de la CNV. Il existe de petits outils basés sur un référentiel similaire et faciles à mettre en oeuvre. La chaise chaude en est un exemple. Utilisés à bon escient, ils peuvent grandement aider à apaiser les conflits et instaurer un climat social bienveillant.
Quel est le processus de la CNV ? Quand l'utiliser en Agilité ? Avec quels outils simples d'usage ? Quelles précautions prendre ? Les réponses à ces questions s'appuieront sur des cas concrets tirés de situations réelles.
La conférence s'adresse en premier lieu aux managers d'équipes, aux chefs de projet, aux coaches et aux scrum masters. Elle apportera des pistes sur la façon d'améliorer les relations dans une équipe. Elle pourra également amener les participants à s'interroger sur la qualité de leur communication, sur leur façon de manager les personnes, ou sur les causes réelles de problèmes relationnels.
This document provides an introduction to Nonviolent Communication (NVC). It discusses the key premises of NVC theory, which are that 1) humans fundamentally desire to enrich life, 2) our language often disguises judgment and blame as the cause of conflicts, and 3) using a needs-based language can help dissolve conflicts by connecting to our shared humanity. NVC offers an alternative paradigm to resolve conflicts through empathetic listening and honest expression of observations, feelings, needs, and requests, rather than judgment, blame, or compromise.

Este documento presenta 10 proyecciones sobre el futuro de la agilidad en los próximos 10 años realizadas por Juan Banda. Las proyecciones incluyen que la agilidad seguirá siendo popular pero mal entendida, que tendremos más equipos de producto autónomos y de larga duración, y que una generación pionera de agilistas se jubilará mientras nuevos profesionales se unen a la comunidad ágil.
Assembling Scrum Teams: A Nonviolent StoryJuan Banda
The author recounts his journey of assembling nonviolent scrum teams. After feeling unfulfilled and frustrated in previous jobs with hierarchical structures and violent communication, he sought to create a new team environment based on collaborative spirit, empathy, courage and the ability to laugh without letting stress impact work. He looked for individuals without egos who felt a need to belong and be inspired. The newly formed teams focused on improving communication without violence and learning new skills quickly. While facing pressures, the teams have been able to improve their work through nonviolent communication and a focus on continuous learning.
This document provides an overview of Scrum and its use around the world. It discusses Scrum as both a framework and a movement for agile project management. Scrum is now used in a variety of industries beyond just software development, including content development, human resources, marketing, and more. The Scrum Alliance organization advocates for Scrum, provides education and certification, and builds a community to support the continued growth and adoption of Scrum globally.

PMPs vs Agile Project Managers: Clash of the TitansJuan Banda
This document discusses the differences between project managers who follow traditional project management methods (PMPs) and those who follow Agile methods. While both aim for successful project delivery, they have different perspectives on process and mindset. The document advocates that neither approach is perfect on its own; an ideal solution is for PMPs to adapt Agile principles and techniques as needed while maintaining their role supporting Agile teams from an objective viewpoint outside the team. Experience project managers of both types realize the value in an eclectic approach that uses processes, techniques and mindsets from multiple sources pragmatically.
This document discusses how organizational culture impacts outsourcing agile development and provides strategies for aligning culture between clients and providers. It uses the Schneider model to describe four types of culture - control, competence, cultivation, and collaboration. A mismatch between these cultures can lead to outsourcing failures if not properly understood and addressed. The document recommends analyzing both the client and provider cultures using this model to identify possible alignments before outsourcing.
PMPs vs Agile Project Managers: Clash of the TitansJuan Banda
The document discusses the differences between project managers who follow traditional "waterfall" project management practices and those who follow Agile methodologies. While both aim for successful project delivery, they have different visions for achieving it. The document argues that there need not be a "fight" between the two approaches, and that project managers can adapt to use frameworks like Agile while still focusing on pragmatic concerns outside the immediate development process. An effective balance can be found by viewing different methods as complementary rather than competing "titans".
La conferencia más grande de Scrum y metodologías Ágiles del país volverá a realizarse en Santa Cruz de la Sierra el 30 de marzo. La primera versión en 2012 contó con siete sesiones a alto nivel con expositores como Heitor Roriz y Emilio Gutter. Empresas e instituciones de nivel mundial, regional y local patrocinaron el evento que reunió a profesionales de las principales empresas de software.
PMPs vs Agile Project Managers - Choque de TitanesJuan Banda
El documento presenta una comparación entre los enfoques PMP y Ágil para la gestión de proyectos. Señala que aunque los Project Managers y los equipos Ágiles tienen objetivos comunes, tienen visiones diferentes. Sin embargo, ambos enfoques pueden coexistir y complementarse si los Project Managers se adaptan a trabajar de forma más ágil y si los equipos Ágiles mantienen cierta flexibilidad para atender detalles operativos. El éxito radica en encontrar el equilibrio entre ambas visiones sin forzar la adopción de un único estilo
Scrum meetings include estimation meetings, sprint planning meetings, daily scrum meetings, sprint reviews, and sprint retrospectives. Estimation meetings are held to formally estimate work in preparation for sprint planning. Sprint planning meetings are held in two parts - first to review and analyze the product backlog and team capabilities, and second to analyze and design the sprint goal and selected product backlog items. Daily scrum meetings are 15-minute stand-up meetings held daily to discuss work achieved, work planned for the next day, and any impediments. Sprint reviews are held with stakeholders to review functionality completed during the sprint and groom the product backlog. Sprint retrospectives are held for the team to inspect and adapt their process and
This document discusses agile planning techniques, including estimating story sizes using planning poker. It recommends that the product owner have all stories sized before the first sprint using planning poker to estimate relative sizes quickly and without bias. The product owner can then use these estimates to create a release plan and update it during sprints as new stories are added or split. It also discusses when stories should be re-estimated, such as when their relative size changes or when goal-level stories are split into smaller stories. Velocity is also discussed as a way to estimate future sprints based on the team's past performance.
Sprint retrospectives are meetings where teams reflect on past work periods to learn and improve future sprints. The process involves setting the stage, gathering data on metrics and events, generating insights by investigating successes and failures, deciding on priority areas to improve through voting, and closing by documenting decisions and planning follow up. The goal is for teams to regularly adjust their behaviors to continuously improve effectiveness through reflection.
Scrum is an agile framework that addresses common software development problems like long release cycles and poor communication. It is based on iterative development where self-organizing cross-functional teams work in sprints to incrementally build functionality from a prioritized backlog. The Scrum framework consists of roles, events, and artifacts like product and sprint backlogs, daily stand-ups, and burn down charts that help teams deliver working software frequently in a flexible, empirical process.
Scrum is an agile framework that uses simple rules to help teams self-organize. It was created based on the Toyota Production Model and iterative development practices. The roots of Scrum can be traced back to a 1996 paper by Jeff Sutherland, Ken Schwaber, and Mike Beedle. Scrum focuses on individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change. Though simple, Scrum requires discipline to implement and master as it promotes flexible, iterative work instead of isolation or chaos.
El documento presenta los conceptos fundamentales de Scrum a través de una serie de diapositivas. Scrum es un marco ágil para el desarrollo de software que surgió para hacer frente a la complejidad de los sistemas. Se basa en equipos pequeños, multifuncionales que trabajan de forma iterativa e incremental. Los roles clave son el Scrum Master, el equipo de desarrollo y el Product Owner. El éxito de Scrum depende de enfocarse en las personas y la cultura más que en las herramientas.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
