Document Overview:

Negotiation is how you get things done these days. While it is unrealistic to expect to get everything you want from your boss, colleagues, team members, friends, and family, effective negotiators have much greater track records of success than the rest of people. They've developed strategies for dealing with the five most common obstacles that get in the way: 1. asking for less than you really want, 2. being afraid of 'no', 3. not knowing how to get to 'yes', 4. thinking more about you than about them, and 5. letting your negotiation style work against you. Become an effective negotiator by avoiding the five common obstacles and becoming more aware of your own style.
THE LONG VIEW: KEN BLANCHARD

Document Overview:

In an interview, Ken Blanchard, the co-founder and chief spiritual officer of The Ken Blanchard Cos, talked about his career. After learning from a high school aptitude test that he had a talent for sales, his original goal was to go to an Ivy League school. But after an unsuccessful attempt to get into a prestigious corporate sales training program during my junior year at Cornell, he decided to forget about going into business. Friends suggested that he could be a dean of students since he had been a good counselor in the freshman dormitory. When he first began work in the field, leadership was considered a hierarchical kind of thing. People worked for their bosses and sent things up the hierarchy. Leadership has now become much more of a partnership relationship. He thinks the world is in desperate need of a different leadership role model. He would love to see servant leadership as the primary training model.
FROM TRADITIONAL INSTRUCTION TO INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN 2.0

Document Overview:

We're working in a wonderful era of easy-to-use, readily available social media technologies ideally suited to learning and instruction. These toolsblogs, wikis, social networking sites, mie rob log sites, video sites, and moreprovide wonderful, new opportunities to invite participation from our learners. Anecdotal reports from learning and development professionals indicate that trainers and instructional designers are enthusiastic about and interested in using new tools and approaches, but just don't have a good understanding of how to do so. Industry news and technology aficionados offer frequent updates about new social media tools (such as the recently launched Google+ ) or updates to old ones- often without much in the way of ideas for integrating them into practice. Advantages are many: Social media allow more participation over a span of time, encourage people to "learn out loud" for the benefit of others, and provide ways to more closely embed learning into work. So what are some strategies for workplace learning practitioners seeking to incorporate these new tools into their training design? Social learning is learning with and from others by moving within one's culture, workplace, and world. Social Learning is how most of us learn most things. Social media are the tools that enable social learning to happen on a large scale. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

It's a Millennial Thing

$6.95

$6.95
From:ProQuest LLC

Document Overview:

One of the common issues I experience when working with clients, who are primarily Baby Boomers or Generation X'ers, involves Generation Y entering the workplace. When I meet with them to discuss organizational challenges, it almost always begins with a roll of the eyes regarding their Gen Y colleagues. The usual complaints are about their constant use of technology to communicate, their sense of entitlement, and their work ethic- all of which is enough to drive their bosses and peers crazy. It is apparent that Gen Y'ers in the workforce is a hot-button topic across all industries today. The relationship between Gen Y'ers and their colleagues could potentially get more strained in the next few years if companies do not manage relationships carefully. Not only have Gen Y'ers entered the workplace in full force; many of them are now being moved into managerial roles over seasoned veterans. You think there was angst before? This dynamic adds significant fuel to the fire. As Gen Y workers continue to rise in management, many are surpassing experienced personnel from other generations. Now many of those veteran employees are being supervised by people with less work and life experience. This situation has proved difficult for both sides of the workforce- younger managers as well as their older charges. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
Crowd-source

Document Overview:

Facing the impact of the recession and a charge to empower leaders to act "as one," thus more effectively galvanizing their people to work together, a Deloitte talent development team was challenged to question its approach to learning design. Through crowdsourcing, they found a faster, better way to drive higher quality results that would be supported by stakeholders before significant investment was made. It all started with an urgent request regarding a new hire orientation. The primary stakeholder felt strongly that a module needed to be redesigned, and quickly. The talent development team turned to mainstream crowdsourcing techniques for inspiration. During a six-hour period, three subteams exchanged and critiqued ideas, which were presented to the stakeholder at the end of the day. The team quickly honed in on the ideas that were most well received by the stakeholder and, with team camaraderie in mind, agreed that bragging rights were in order for whichever creative elements ended up in the final design. This approach compressed two weeks of work into one day and provided additional ideas for future use. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
Improve Employee Leadership With Ideas Borrowed From the Military

$6.95

From:ProQuest LLC

Document Overview:

The U.S. military is renowned for the resources it devotes to the development of its members. That the military is able to create a constant stream of qualified and successful leaders shows that when it comes to leadership development programs (LDPs), the military gets a lot right. For example, a typical commissioned officer spends more than four years of a 20-year career in formal development schools. This is in addition to time spent earning an undergraduate degree and completing commissioning programs such as Reserve Officer Training Corps at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The demands placed on military leaders are unusually high. Platoon commanders are typically out of college for less than one year when they are given responsibility for every facet of performance and discipline for 30 soldiers. Generally, a company commander is only six to eight years senior to a platoon commander and is responsible for 200 soldiers. This article is meant to serve as a guide to assist business and industry leaders with borrowing the best lessons available from military LDPs and applying them to their own programs. The information is based on training I conducted as a military selection officer, as well as from my experience teaching military leadership principles to high school and college students.

Are You Ready for agile Learning Design?

Document Overview:

It was a crisp fall afternoon and everyone at IBM in Atlanta was getting ready for a busy fourth quarter. Our learning design team was listening to Duke, our program's key stakeholder, on the speakerphone. He needed us to develop an instructional program to teach Agile software development processes, and he was questioning our own process. "Your team needs that many weeks for analysis? We don't have time for that," he said. "We need to deliver instruction with what we know right now. There's no time for drawn-out analysis." Suddenly Duke had an idea: "We're going to use Agile methods to teach Agile at IBM. Let's get started." The learning team members nodded to one another and responded, "Let's hear more." Duke described his requirements. "Software developers around the world need a workshop on Agile methods, and the first workshop is due in three weeks. Now, what do you need to make this happen?" This is what we, members of IBM's Center for Advanced Learning, faced when asked to create AgileQIBM- a program of instruction designed for software developers, engineers, testers, and leaders. Although our learning design team had managed challenging assignments in the past, AgileOIBM was different. In this case, our stakeholder was challenging our team to apply a new methodology to our classic design approach. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
