Leaders who can read collective emotions are more effectiveMuhammad Amin Shah
Leaders who can accurately read and understand collective emotions are more effective. A study developed an emotional aperture measure (EAM) test to assess an individual's ability to estimate the proportion of people in a group displaying positive or negative emotions. The test analyzed facial expressions in video clips of employees before and after events. Leaders who scored higher on the EAM were perceived as more transformational by their direct reports. The EAM can help identify leaders who can successfully respond to the frustrations, hopes and fears of large groups by reading collective emotions.
This document defines power, authority, and influence and identifies their key characteristics. It discusses six sources of power according to French and Raven's framework: position, control of resources, social connections, expertise, control of information, and personal characteristics. Six influence strategies ("6 Ps") are also identified: position, push, pull, persuasion, preparatory, and preventative. The document concludes with a discussion of traditional theories of leadership, including trait, style, and contingency theories.
This document discusses aligning goals and systems for results through leadership. It presents 3 alternatives for aligning an organization: 1) using personal authority and modeling, 2) communicating vision and strategy, and 3) designing organizational trustworthiness through systems and structure. Constant alignment is needed using feedback to ensure goals stay focused on core values and strategic priorities. The power lies in systems, not individuals, and systems should be flexible but based on core principles. Feedback systems help determine if an organization is on track. Developing capability and getting results for stakeholders like customers, employees and community must be balanced.
Rensis Likert developed four systems of management styles in the 1960s based on levels of subordinate involvement and communication flow. The most exploitative style is the exploitative/authoritative system with top-down communication and no subordinate participation. The benevolent/authoritative system uses some rewards in addition to potential punishment. The consultative system involves subordinates in problem-solving and decision-making to a limited extent. Likert argued the most effective style is the participative system with full two-way communication, shared decision-making, and motivation of employees through monetary awards and participation.
Dr. Nelly Abulata presented information on organizational politics within Kasr Al-Ainy, a large university hospital system in Egypt. Kasr Al-Ainy includes over 9 hospitals, 5,200 beds, 10,000 employees, 3,000 staff members, and sees over 1.5 million patients per year. The document defines key terms related to organizational politics and power, discusses sources and consequences of power, and provides recommendations for minimizing the negative effects of politics in organizations, including providing resources, autonomy, and participation in decision making.
No more, 'I TOLD YOU' can work in business world. One needs to develop persuasion and reciprocity based influencing capabilities. Describing how 'Cohen and Bradford' Model can help immensely in this regard
This document summarizes research on the different bases of social power and their application to management and conflict resolution. It discusses Raven and French's six bases of power (reward, coercive, legitimate, referent, expert, informational) and later differentiations by Raven. Studies discussed show that sharing cooperative goals and using reward and informational power increases productivity and cooperation with supervisors. Maintaining fairness, legitimacy, expertise and reason-giving leads to more effective conflict resolution. Power deferment, relying on objective standards, can help resolve conflicts across cultures.

Insights from neuroscience to motivate business stakeholdersKay Fudala
Organizations are struggling with unparalleled challenges created by the uncertainty and ambiguity of transformational changes. Social neuroscience provides the framework to identify domains that activate reward or threat circuitry in the human brain. So, how can IT professionals leverage established research from Neuroscience to design interactions with stakeholders to promote rapid acceptance and adoption? What are the key behaviors that can improve collaboration and engagement to deliver the greatest business value? This session answers those questions and many more!

The document discusses power and politics in organizations. It defines power as the ability to influence others and get things done according to one's wishes. There are different sources and bases of power, including formal power derived from a person's position, and personal power stemming from expertise, charisma, or relationships. Power is distributed unequally in organizations and is used through various tactics. Coalitions are formed to maximize influence, and politics is an inevitable part of organizational life.
The document discusses the concept of power and its sources in organizations. It identifies several types of power including reward, coercive, legitimate, and expert power. Expert power is considered most effective as it transfers skills and knowledge, leading employees to internalize what they learn from expert managers. Successful power users have a high need for social power rather than personal power and demonstrate characteristics like belief in authority and altruism. The document also discusses empowerment and guidelines for sharing power with employees in a way that increases their sense of competence and self-determination.

Katie Womersley - VP of Engineering at Buffer
As most of our teams are fully or partly remote during the COVID19 pandemic, “how to do remote work” at all is now in a question of the past. We’re doing remote work, but it’s still difficult to do it well. Leaders are being hard pressed to achieve results, and the strain of the pandemic and its impact on morale, productivity and mental health is being felt. The uncertainty around the pandemic, the economy, and the complete lack of anything “normal” means our teams need psychological safety more than ever. In a pernicious twist, the personal connections that usually drive this safety and bolster mental health are being weakened by the online-only workplace. In this talk, I’ll be speaking from my experience as VP Engineering of Buffer (a fully remote team) and the frequent remote work writings and research I conduct with other leaders. I’ll share what’s working, and what’s not, right now to build up psychological safety in your team, create predictability, and move toward being a high-performing (remote) team.

Chapter 8 - Organizational Behavior: Power, Politics, Conflict, and Stressdpd
The document discusses key concepts in organizational behavior including personality, perception, attitudes, power, politics, conflict, and stress. It defines these terms and explains how they relate to each other and influence workplace performance. Some of the major points covered are the five dimensions of personality, the attribution process, sources and types of power, political behaviors, managing functional and dysfunctional conflict, and causes and management of job stress.
Targets - what role for managing local performance?Kevin Ambrose
The document discusses problems with an over-reliance on targets in the public sector and ways to improve the use of targets. It notes that while specific, challenging targets can motivate performance, too many targets can have unintended negative effects. The document advocates taking a more selective approach to targets, clarifying their purpose, and not relying solely on targets for motivation or measurement of success. It proposes different types of targets like aspirations, goals, accountability targets, and benchmarks and suggests getting stakeholder buy-in, proper indicators, and action plans to better utilize targets.
Power refers to the ability to influence others and get things done. It arises from factors like control over resources and information. Politics involves using power to influence decisions and achieve goals through relationship building and coalition formation. While politics can enable needed change, its abuse through overly centralized decision-making can undermine trust and performance. Managing political activities carefully and distributing resources more evenly can help reduce inefficiencies.
Likert identified four models of management systems based on his research with managers over 30 years: exploitative authoritative, benevolent authoritative, consultative, and participative. The participative system promotes genuine participation in decision making and goal setting through open communication across all levels. Employees are highly motivated and involved in setting organizational goals, which improves productivity and satisfaction. Management has full confidence in employees and the system motivates through rewards and participation.
This document discusses power and politics in leadership and organizations. It defines key concepts like power, influence, politics, and ethics. It notes that implementing decisions as a leader can be difficult due to interdependencies, differing views, limited resources, and people pursuing self-interest. Some managers have ambivalence, naivety, or cynicism towards power. Power and politics are most prevalent at the top and middle levels of management and in sales/marketing. The document advocates for leaders to use influence ethically to make decisions while understanding organizational dynamics.
This document discusses power and politics in organizations. It defines power as the ability to influence others' behavior to act according to one's wishes. There are five bases of power: coercive, reward, legitimate, expert, and referent. It also distinguishes between "power to" which is empowerment, versus "power over" others. Politics in organizations involves activities to influence the distribution of advantages that are not formally required, and three questions can help determine the ethics of political actions: if they serve self-interest over organizational goals, respect individuals' rights, and are fair.
Providing equal pay for equal work is central to fair employee compensation. However, achieving equal pay can be challenging as remuneration policies sometimes unintentionally favor one gender over the other. Consulting firm Integritas advises organizations on how to establish transparent, equitable reward systems to avoid costly equal pay claims through pay analysis and recommendations to eliminate unconscious bias from pay practices. Integritas also provides other diversity analytics services including surveys, benchmarking, and statistical analysis to help organizations gain insights into employees, customers, and communities.
Power refers to the ability to influence others. Sources of power in organizations include control over rewards, punishments, expertise, and resources. Expert power tends to be the most effective because it transfers knowledge and skills. Political behavior involves using power and influence to achieve personal goals and is more common when goals and authority are unclear. Effective political actors maintain open communication, clarify expectations, and encourage cooperation. Managing one's boss involves understanding their goals and style while developing a dependable relationship. Empowerment involves sharing power so employees believe in their ability to perform well and make an impact. Power is used most ethically when focused on group goals through participation and respecting others.
Power refers to the ability to influence others to act according to one's wishes. There are various bases of power including personal power from expertise or relationships, and formal power from positions of authority. Politics involves intentional acts to enhance or protect self-interest through various tactics like persuasion, appeals, pressure, and coalitions. Power and politics are inherent in organizations, so managers must understand and carefully manage them.
Emotional intelligence is the foundation of sound decision making which is at the core of consistently high performance. Studies on the impact of emotional intelligence in the workplace emphasize that organizations with higher levels of emotional intelligence reap benefits on productivity and success; therefore forward thinkers continue to mine it for business tools that lead to superior performance. Business leaders who use Emotional Quotient expertise to build an emotionally intelligent culture do gain a competitive edge for their organization in the marketplace.
Organizational behavior,power, politics, conflict, and stressK Pavan Kumar
This document provides an overview of key concepts from Chapter 9 of the textbook "Organizational Behavior: Power, Politics, Conflict, and Stress" including personality traits, perception, attitudes, power, organizational politics, managing conflict, and stress. The chapter aims to describe these concepts, explain their interrelationships, and discuss their importance for managerial behavior. Specifically, it outlines 13 learning outcomes to be achieved after studying this chapter.
The document discusses power and politics in organizational life. It states that while organizations are theoretically rational and nonpersonal, in practice they are political structures. Power is accumulated through a political pyramid structure. There are conflicts of interests as individuals compete for resources and power. The document also discusses coalitions, collusions, and underlying "life dramas" around power dynamics and the role of leadership in organizations. It provides examples of how power relations can create contradictions and faulty coalitions within organizations.

The document summarizes Celtic tree symbolism and folklore. It discusses how the oak, apple, alder, birch, hazel, holly and willow trees each had spiritual meanings for ancient Celts. It provides examples of Irish folktales and superstitions associated with trees, especially oak which was considered most sacred. The document also lists the traditional spiritual meanings that various trees held for ancient Celts.
Big data, evidence-based, predictive analytics, today these terms are all over the place. Is this just another fad or an irreversible trend? An increasing group of HR leaders relies on science, critical thinking and data analyses to make decisions.
Evidence-based HR, however, is still perceived by many as too time-consuming, narrow or impractical. Meanwhile, evidence-based practice is becoming mainstream in many other disciplines (like medicine). This is the momentum for pioneering HR leaders to seize the opportunity and make a difference with evidence. As part of an inclusive approach, valuing different perspectives.
We will enter into the dialogue about the why, the what, and most of all the how of evidence-based HR. How to get started and how to blend it with softer, less tangible HR practices? A pragmatic introduction, with realistic ambitions and openness towards other approaches.
Lecture 3 Social Dynamics Leith Sharp-1.pptxJaymeNeto12
This document discusses social dynamics and their role in sustainability leadership. It covers four spheres of influence: individual, social, organizational, and infrastructural systems. Positive social dynamics like trust, collaboration and group intelligence are important for change. Pilot projects can help resolve social risks and uncertainties. Team dynamics like social sensitivity and evenly distributed conversations can enhance group intelligence. Change agents can use social architecture and leverage peer influences to enable large-scale behavior change.
On March 5th, 2010 the UNH Wildcats, Whittemore School of Business, New Hampshire Division of Economic Development and Public Service of New Hampshire hosted a unique afternoon workshop at UNH aimed at building teams, developing effective leaders and stimulating innovation.
The "Wild for Innovation" workshop was developed specifically for New Hampshire business leaders and their teams, and included presentations like this one, on developing effective and innovative teams, by Vanessa Druskat.
The document discusses emotional intelligence and its importance for leadership in the public sector. It defines the five key components of emotional intelligence - self-awareness, self-management, motivation, empathy, and social skills. It also discusses how emotional intelligence can be learned through bringing behaviors into awareness, identifying new behaviors, and practicing them until they become unconscious habits with feedback. Leaders are advised to create a culture that gets results benefiting stakeholders in a trusting climate.
This document discusses the impact of soft system thinking (SST) upon the intellectual capital of an organization. SST involves developing emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills among employees. It argues that technical skills alone are not sufficient for organizational success and that SST helps improve relationships and team performance. The document outlines strategies for adopting SST, such as developing self-awareness, empathy, emotional control, and relationship management skills. It asserts that implementing SST can positively influence organizational performance and current situations.
Chapter 10:
Managing Conflict
Introduction
Workplace conflicts are often not productive
Take time away from one’s job
Take time away from providing customer service
Strained emotion often lingers
Conflict can lead to innovation and creativity
Conflict must be managed – not ignored
Conflict Defined
An expressed struggle between at least two interdependent parties, who perceive incompatible goals, scarce rewards or resources or expectations that are not being met, and interference from the other party or parties in achieving their goals
Conflict vs. Difference of Opinion
Interdependent parties
Incompatible goals
Interference
If we perceive something, we will often act as if it is true
Managing Conflict
Dimensions of Conflict
History: experiences with the party or other conflicts
Source: can be the other person or something less personal
Perceptions: assumptions and prejudices often make us think something is true even if it is not
Emotions: controlling emotions in a positive manner can lead to positive conflict resolution
Behavior: good, controlled behavior can move us toward positive results
Effective vs. Dysfunctional Responses
Differentiation: “Parties raise the conflict issues and spend sufficient time and energy clarifying positions, pursuing the reasons behind those positions, and acknowledging their differences stage determines differences” (Stutman, 2009, p. 14)
Opportunities to develop understanding during this stage
Case Study: Zest Manufacturing Wars
A small group of managers met for their weekly meeting, and conflict arose
Two managers were at odds because both failed to ask for rationale and allowed their emotions to flare
A third manager facilitated a conversation to help both parties see how to resolve the conflict
Perception was key; both managers perceived that the other was questioning their ability to do their job
Have their been times when emotion influenced your perception of something? Did it help or hurt?
Conflict Within the Organization
Personality conflicts: arise out of differences in the collection of qualities that make people who they are but that also don’t meet our expectations
Role confusion: lack of clarity over expectations of our position or fulfilling our job duties
Intragroup conflict: conflict within a group
Intergroup conflict: conflict between two or more groups
Intraorganizational conflict: conflict within an organization
Critical Thinking Questions - Conflict
Why does conflict often escalate so quickly?
In today’s modern society, what other potential sources of conflict within organization can you think of?
Styles of Dealing with Conflict
Avoiding
Those who prefer avoidance recognize a conflict exists, but tend to want to withdraw from, ignore, or suppress it
Low concern for satisfying concerns of themselves or others
Can be useful when issues are trivial, there is no chance of satisfying your concerns, or disruption outweighs benefits of resolution
Competing
Individuals wh.
There was a conflict between two fairies that was escalating until a third fairy intervened and told them "Nuff said", stopping the argument. Some pixies were bothering passersby until one upset fairy confronted them and the pixies fled when another said "That's E Nuff". At a fight in the forest involving many magical creatures, one fairy was able to subdue them all until a werewolf objected but was stopped when someone said "That's Fairy Nuff". Now in the woods you may encounter this fairy who will "deal with any humans" and you don't want to hear "E Nuff".
The document discusses principles of user experience (UX) design from a psychological perspective. It introduces concepts like motivation, cognition, emotion, behavior, and consistency as frameworks for understanding how people think and interact with systems. The document advocates applying insights from fields like behavioral psychology to craft better user experiences and generate ideas by understanding common human capabilities, limitations, and biases.
From this article Kahneman, D., Lovallo, D., & Sibony, O. (2011.docxbudbarber38650
From this article:
Kahneman, D., Lovallo, D., & Sibony, O. (2011a). Before you make that big decision. Harvard Business Review, 89(6).
This is the article in reference:
Dangerous biases can creep into every strategic choice. Here's how to find them--before they lead you astray
THANKS TO a slew of popular new books, many executives today realize how biases can distort reasoning in business. Confirmation bias, for instance, leads people to ignore evidence that contradicts their preconceived notions. Anchoring causes them to weigh one piece of information too heavily in making decisions; loss aversion makes them too cautious. In our experience, however, awareness of the effects of biases has done little to improve the quality of business decisions at either the individual or the organizational level.
Though there may now be far more talk of biases among managers, talk alone will not eliminate them. But it is possible to take steps to counteract them. A recent McKinsey study of more than 1,000 major business investments showed that when organizations worked at reducing the effect of bias in their decision-making processes, they achieved returns up to seven percentage points higher. (For more on this study, see "The Case for Behavioral Strategy," McKinsey Quarterly, March 2010.) Reducing bias makes a difference. In this article, we will describe a straightforward way to detect bias and minimize its effects in the most common kind of decision that executives make: reviewing a recommendation from someone else and determining whether to accept it, reject it, or pass it on to the next level.
For most executives, these reviews seem simple enough. First, they need to quickly grasp the relevant facts (getting them from people who know more about the details than they do). Second, they need to figure out if the people making the recommendation are intentionally clouding the facts in some way. And finally, they need to apply their own experience, knowledge, and reasoning to decide whether the recommendation is right.
However, this process is fraught at every stage with the potential for distortions in judgment that result from cognitive biases. Executives can't do much about their own biases, as we shall see. But given the proper tools, they can recognize and neutralize those of their teams. Over time, by using these tools, they will build decision processes that reduce the effect of biases in their organizations. And in doing so, they'll help upgrade the quality of decisions their organizations make.
The Challenge of Avoiding Bias
Let's delve first into the question of why people are incapable of recognizing their own biases.
According to cognitive scientists, there are two modes of thinking, intuitive and reflective. (In recent decades a lot of psychological research has focused on distinctions between them. Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein popularized it in their book, Nudge.) In intuitive, or System One, thinking, impressions, associations, feeling.
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.

The document discusses applying emotional intelligence as a project manager. It examines emotional intelligence frameworks and identifies three core competencies of high emotional intelligence that are important for project managers - communication, conflict management, and establishing positive relationships. Project managers with high emotional intelligence can enhance communication, reduce conflict, and act as strategic leaders on their projects.
The document discusses several theories related to management and organizational behavior, including contingency theory, technology determinism, and stakeholder theory. Contingency theory claims there is no single best way to organize and that the optimal approach depends on internal and external factors. Technology determinism argues technologies directly impact organizational attributes like span of control. Stakeholder theory identifies six groups that influence organizations: technology, suppliers, customers, government, unions, and consumer groups.
Emotional Intelligence as a Predictor of Conflict Resolution Style in Public ...inventionjournals
In today’s dynamic work environment people are more emotionally troubled. They feel lonely depressed, nervous, aggressive and stressful and this results in absenteeism, passivity, less productivity and attrition.
