The document discusses the importance of summarization for processing large amounts of text.

The knowledge of craft and processes does little to help in the day-to-day relationship with teams and clients. That's because the actual practical skills are just part of the game: there are competences that go beyond that: soft skills, sensibility, empathy, relational abilities, proactivity, etc. All of these are rarely highlighted or taught, and even less often they are used in specific tasks such as team growth or hiring.
The Hybrid Traits is an effective model to frame these additional skills, allowing us to focus on them and embed them in our professional life. It's not easy however, because everything starts from the individual's desire to practice introspection.

Covid-19: Responding to the crisis - a leader's handbookGraham Watson
This document summarizes the key findings from facilitated video conference networking sessions with over 20 CEOs and senior executives from various countries and sectors. Some of the main findings included:
1) Internal ways of working have changed, with different roles coming to the fore, productivity increasing in some cases, and it being harder to gauge employee morale without in-person interactions.
2) Doing business externally has become more difficult, with less opportunities for chance interactions and relationship building. Remote negotiations and business development also present new challenges.
3) Innovation is happening rapidly as companies find new ways to use technology, automate processes, and reconfigure operations in response to the crisis. Both structured and unstructured innovation is occurring.
Leading virtual teams in times of disruptionGraham Watson
The document discusses best practices for leading virtual teams during times of disruption. It recommends encouraging more open information sharing to help bond team members.

Leaders should take advantage of opportunities for face-to-face meetings to rebuild social bonds weakened by virtual interactions.

Reputations must be proactively managed, and social media presence is now essential, as careers are increasingly shaped by online profiles and networks.

Understanding the Quality and Functions of the Golfer-Caddie relationshipGraham Watson
The document summarizes research on the golfer-caddie relationship. It discusses:
1) Twelve professional golfers and caddies were interviewed to understand the nature and quality of their relationships and how it impacts performance.
2) Relationship development varied, but most golfers adapted to a new caddie within a few weeks while caddies took up to a week. Longer relationships were seen as most successful due to strong ties and understanding developed over time.
3) Caddie experience and pre-existing family relationships helped accelerate relationship development for partnerships with less time. The interviews explored relationship quality, maintenance, and the link to performance.
