A Leader’s Framework for Decision Making. Executive Summary Reprint: R0711C Many executives are surprised when previously successful leadership approaches fail in new situations, but different contexts call for different kinds of responses.
Before addressing a situation, leaders need to recognize which context governs it—and tailor their actions accordingly. The John Maxwell Company. Larry King, who has made his living speaking to people as a television talk show host, believes that asking questions is the secret of good conversation.
He says, I’m curious about everything, and if I’m at a cocktail party, I often ask my favorite question: “Why?” If a man tells me he and his family are moving to another city: “Why?” A woman is changing jobs: “Why?” What Are Your Values? - Decision-Making Skills from MindTools.com. How would you define your values?
Before you answer this question, you need to know what, in general, values are. Your values are the things that you believe are important in the way you live and work. They (should) determine your priorities, and, deep down, they're probably the measures you use to tell if your life is turning out the way you want it to. When the things that you do and the way you behave match your values, life is usually good – you're satisfied and content. But when these don't align with your personal values, that's when things feel... wrong.

Staff. So how are you going to get the best out of them, especially when budgets are tight? By fostering engagement – the process by which people who work in your organisation feel invested in what you are trying to achieve and are motivated and empowered to take action accordingly. Research shows that the more engaged staff are, the more successful their organisation is. In the culture sector, the benefits are: larger audiences; more members; increased donations; a stronger reputation; and reduced staff turnover and sickness.

My mentor was Hilly James, an award-winning journalist and author who has acted as Assistant Editor of The Times and Features Editor of The Independent.

Effective Feedback: BIFF feedback model - Andi Roberts. In my recent research around feedback and feedback mnemonics I came across BIFF. Whilst the word biff signifies a small blow or punch, you could say that this is how some people feel after receiving poorly structured feedback, that they have been punched! The BIFF feedback model is similar to that of AID model, but with the useful addition I think, of asking the person receiving the feedback to consider how they feel after receiving it.

F – Future: What you expect in terms of behaviour or performance. F – Feelings: An insight to where the feedback receiver is emotionally after receiving the feedback.

Oscar Wilde's Happy Prince for Workoholics. Female theatre directors in the UK: why the need to "prove" ourselves? Young female theatre directors may have more role models to look up to in 2014 than in the past, but the structures and progression routes to leadership roles in theatre are still not working for them.
The 2012 Guardian survey in collaboration with Pentabus Theatre showed women are still badly under-represented in theatre, with a 2:1 male-to-female ratio. The boards of the top 10 subsidised theatres in England were made up of 33% women, and only 36% of Artistic Directors were women. I worked in a regional theatre for four years as the only woman in the creative team, younger by at least 10 years than my male counterparts, all of whom didn’t seem to be going anywhere in a hurry. I loved my work and the organisation but I was hungry and ambitious; I struggled to work out how I could progress.
