Leadership Without Mind Games - How to Win People with Ethics and Decency

Summary

No need for mind games. Leadership is not rocket science.
The daily tasks of managers revolve mostly around numbers, statistics, competition, and ultimately, success. What we often forget is that a big aspect of leadership relies on managing relationships. Many see this as an unnecessary burden, at best. So, what could be better than being able to reach into a box of psychological tricks and swiftly finish off disagreements or completely avoid conflict? I am afraid that is too easy. If you want to be successful and retain competent employees for the long term, you would be well advised to stay away from such gimmicks. Those who lead people have a responsibility - they are responsible for treating their employees with decency. That leaves no room for cheap tricks or power games.

    Why are some teams described in such exceptional terms, while most  are not? Bellman and Ryan argue that people instinctively sense  when a group experience is something special, something different  from the ordinary, something that surpasses their expectations in a  positive, remarkable, and hard-to-describe way. These extraordinary  groups achieve outstanding results and their members--individually  or collectively--experience a profound shift in how they see their  world. They are transformed.   However large or small, visible or intangible, such  transformative shifts happen because the group experience satisfies  core needs that members intuitively bring to any group they join.  Bellman and Ryan's study suggests there are six needs, forming  three pairs related to one's self, the group, and the world in  which the group exists. These six elements combine in what the  authors describe as the Group Needs model:    Acceptance of self while moving toward one's  Potential  A Bond with others that grows while pursuing a common  Purpose  Understanding the Reality of the world while  collectively making an Impact    Whether at work, at home, or in the community, when a group  experience meets two or more of these needs, it will stand out for  the members of the team. Based on extensive research and filled  with examples from amazing groups, Extraordinary Groups  presents the Group Needs Model to help anyone nurture extraordinary  experiences in their groups and achieve outstanding results. This  book is a timely resource for anyone who leads groups including HR  and OD professionals, managers, executives, nonprofit managers and  directors, virtual teams leaders, and trainers.

    This book examines the integration of major trade unions from the six biggest countries of EU's Eastern enlargement into EU governance structures. Based on extensive empirical research, including more than 150 in-depth interviews, comprehensive data, document research, and eight detailed case studies, the contributions describe the activities and perceptions of the trade unions under investigation and the different levels of engagement, including European umbrella organizations, interregional cooperation, and European Works Councils. The book thus contributes to political science research on interest representation and Europeanization as well as sociological research on labor relations.

    Agile is a set of values and principles that encourage adaptive, iterative and more responsive software development. It is not a set of rules. More than a methodology, agile is a mindset. It prescribes and encourages some practices aimed at improving software quality and thereby ensuring customer satisfaction. Self-organizing cross-functional teams deliver better results quickly. Dividing the work into bite sizes offers many advantages. Frequent collaboration among the developers and stakeholders increases the confidence and comfort level of all. High quality working software and just enough documentation should be the goal and not the reverse. Customer needs, market conditions and technology change. So, organizations should be better equipped to embrace changes. Bringing about changes to an existing product should not be a tedious process. But a part of the normal workflow. Although not free from criticisms, the vast majority in the software development industry agree that agile is the way forward.
