Malcolm Gladwell on spaghetti sauce. The Hard Science of Teamwork - Alex "Sandy" Pentland. By Alex "Sandy" Pentland | 10:15 AM March 20, 2012 Like many people, I’ve encountered teams that are “clicking.” I’ve experienced the “buzz” of a group that’s blazing away with new ideas in a way that makes it seem they can read each others’ minds. We think of building teams that operate on this plane as an art, or even magic. It’s not something you can plan; it’s lightning-in-a-bottle stuff that you just embrace when you’re lucky enough to come across it.
But to me, the buzz was so palpable, I decided that it must be a real, observable and measurable thing. I was motivated to find a way to document that buzz, and understand good teamwork as a hard science. The team I lead at MIT’s Human Dynamics Laboratory has done just that. My feature article in HBR’s April Spotlight on teams describes in detail the new science of building great teams. Communicate frequently. You’ll notice that none of the factors outlined above concern the substance of a team’s communication. This is purposeful. Plan B: 'Find out what kids are good at. It will change their lives' | Comment is free | The Observer. I'm working really hard at the minute trying to finish my directorial debut, Ill Manors, which is a hip-hop-based film. When people ask me what the film is about, I say it's about all the things we read in the newspaper; the despicable things that I don't think many of us agree with when we read them.
The papers tell us that they happen but they never tell us why they happen. So Ill Manors is trying to get to the bottom of why we have these problems in society with our youth, why we constantly keep on reading negative things about our youth. The reason I've done this is because I got kicked out of school in year 10 and no other schools would take me. I had to go to a pupil referral unit called the Tunmarsh Centre in Plaistow. I think the reason why we didn't have respect for authority was that we felt that we were ignored by society, that we didn't belong to it. Unfortunately, some of those words are negative. Damilola Taylor was 10 years old when he lost his life.
And so he did. The Best Players Rarely Make the Best Coaches. The 92nd P.G.A Championship ended yesterday with the usual fanfare and excitement that this last major of the year typically garners. But, what this tournament may be most remembered for was the younger generation of golfers - most who had not yet won a major - that sat atop the leaderboard throughout the final days at Whistling Straits. Seasoned players like Padraig Harrington missed the cut and, although we saw some amazing shots, Tiger Woods was never really in contention. With younger players climbing the superstar ranks, you might wonder if it is time for some of the older generation to think about retirement.
But, what does a golfer do after his career on the tour is over? There is of course a long list of options. You might be interested to know, however, that sport science research suggests that coaching should NOT be one of them - especially if a player wants to keep his game at a high level. As it happens, the best players don't make the best coaches in sports . Crazy Coach Beating His Players! TEDxPortsmouth - Dr. Chris Shambrook - Serious About Performance. The Road Ahead or the Road Behind. 9 Essential Skills Kids Should Learn, by Leo Babauta. Kids in today’s school system are not being prepared well for tomorrow’s world.
As someone who went from the corporate world and then the government world to the ever-changing online world, I know how the world of yesterday is rapidly becoming irrelevant. I was trained in the newspaper industry, where we all believed we would be relevant forever — and I now believe will go the way of the horse and buggy. Unfortunately, I was educated in a school system that believed the world in which it existed would remain essentially the same, with minor changes in fashion. We were trained with a skill set that was based on what jobs were most in demand in the 1980s, not what might happen in the 2000s. And that kinda makes sense, given that no one could really know what life would be like 20 years from now. We had no idea what the world had in store for us. And here’s the thing: we still don’t. How then to prepare our kids for a world that is unpredictable, unknown? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
Print. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Model of personality types A chart with descriptions of each Myers–Briggs personality type and the four dichotomies central to the theory. In personality typology, the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is an introspective self-report questionnaire indicating differing psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. The test attempts to assign a value to each of four categories: introversion or extraversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving.
One letter from each category is taken to produce a four-letter test result, such as "INTP" or "ESFJ".[2][3] The MBTI was constructed by two Americans: Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers, who were inspired by the book Psychological Types by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. History[edit] Briggs began her research into personality in 1917. Myers' work attracted the attention of Henry Chauncey, head of the Educational Testing Service.
