How To Be a Great Leader (in under 300 words) The six psychological factors that make a really great leader. Want to lead others? Well, much has been said and written about what makes a great leader, so here are the crib notes. These are the factors that psychologists consistently find make a good leader (Hogan & Kaiser, 2005): Decisiveness: good leaders make frequent decisions and stick with them. Although being a great leader (like Aung San Suu Kyi, above) isn’t necessarily the same as being a great manager, there’s much common ground. These four factors were confirmed in a study of Fortune 1000 companies that had been turned around by their CEOs (Collins, 2001). Modesty: the most effective leaders weren’t grand-standing show-offs; they were incredibly modest and humble.Persistent: the leaders who transformed their organisations the most never gave up. These may all sound like pretty straightforward characteristics, but apparently few have what it takes. Image credit: Surian Soosay
List of unsolved problems in philosophy This is a list of some of the major unsolved problems in philosophy. Clearly, unsolved philosophical problems exist in the lay sense (e.g. "What is the meaning of life?" Aesthetics[edit] Essentialism[edit] In art, essentialism is the idea that each medium has its own particular strengths and weaknesses, contingent on its mode of communication. Art objects[edit] This problem originally arose from the practice rather than theory of art. While it is easy to dismiss these assertions, further investigation[who?] Epistemology[edit] Epistemological problems are concerned with the nature, scope and limitations of knowledge. Gettier problem[edit] In 1963, however, Edmund Gettier published an article in the periodical Analysis entitled "Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?" In response to Gettier's article, numerous philosophers have offered modified criteria for "knowledge."

How to manage employees who work from home You've heard the stats: employees who can work from home and set their own hours (at least some of the time) are happier and less likely to complain of work-life stress. More important? They're less likely to leave your company than their office-bound counterparts. But how does managing your telecommuters work on a day-to-day basis? Allison O'Kelly, CEO of Mom Corps, a flexible professional staffing agency, manages a 100 percent virtual workforce. Here's her advice for managers: Train in person. Sometimes you do need standing (virtual) meetings. Communicate. Guard your time. Do try to see each other (sometimes). How do you manage your telecommuters? © 2012 CBS Interactive Inc.. To sleep less and dream more --- Gabriel Garcia Marquez If for a moment God were to forget that I am a rag doll and granted me a piece of life, I probably wouldn't say everything that I think; rather, I would think about everything that I say. I would value things, not for their worth but for what they mean. I would sleep less, dream more, understanding that for each minute we close our eyes, we lose sixty seconds of light. I would walk when others hold back, I would wake when others sleep, I would listen when others talk. And how I would enjoy a good chocolate ice cream! If God were to give me a piece of life, I would dress simply, throw myself face first into the sun, baring not only my body but also my soul. My God, if I had a heart, I would write my hate on ice, and wait for the sun to show. I would water roses with my tears, to feel the pain of their thorns and the red kiss of their petals... I would convince each woman and each man that they are my favorites, and I would live in love with love. So much have I learned from you, oh men ...
12 Things Successful People Do Differently Email I’ve always been fascinated by people who are consistently successful at what they do; especially those who experience repeated success in many areas of their life throughout their lifetime. In entertainment, I think of Clint Eastwood and Oprah Winfrey. In business, I think of Steve Jobs and Warren Buffett. Over the years I’ve studied the lives of numerous successful people. 1. Successful people are objective. S.M.A.R.T. goals are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely. Specific – A general goal would be, “Get in shape.” When you identify S.M.A.R.T. goals that are truly important to you, you become motivated to figure out ways to attain them. 2. Sadly, very few people ever live to become the success story they dream about. They never take action! The acquisition of knowledge doesn’t mean you’re growing. It doesn’t matter if you have a genius IQ and a PhD in Quantum Physics, you can’t change anything or make any sort of real-world progress without taking action. 3.
The eight stages of human life - Philadelphia Mental Health "Children love and want to be loved and they very much prefer the joy of accomplishment to the triumph of hateful failure. Do not mistake a child for his symptom. " Erik Erickson 20th century German psychologist Erik Erickson proposed that there are eight stages of development that all humans go through. He parted company with his predecessor Sigmund Freud who believed that there were only five stages beginning at birth and ending at adolescence. Erickson, sometimes called the father of developmental psychology, believed that human beings continue to develop through the entire life span and along the way we are presented with eight critical challenges or crisis, one for each of life's stages. Here are the eight stages of human development as proposed by Erik Erickson. Stage 1 (Birth to 1 year old) Trust versus Mistrust Stage Stage 2 (Age 2 - 3) Autonomy or Independence versus Doubt Stage 3 (Age 3 - 6) Initiative versus Guilt Stage 4 (Ages 6 - 12) Industry versus Inferiority
How to Deal with Critics - Dorie Clark by Dorie Clark | 10:51 AM January 24, 2012 A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to be interviewed for a national radio program. But amidst the Facebook “likes” from my friends and congratulatory emails, a message arrived in my inbox from a woman I had known casually in college. It happens to all of us: office rivals, “frenemies,” or even colleagues trying to be helpful can sometimes offer harsh criticism. Don’t mouth off. Determine if you’re overreacting. Remember: it’s a sign of success. What goes around comes around. How have you dealt with critics in your professional life?
The Philosophy of Food Project Introduction to the Philosophy of Food What is philosophy of food? What is food? (Food metaphysics) How do we know it is food? (Food epistemology) What is good food? What should we eat? Should food be natural? How should food be distributed? Are you what you eat? Text below is from The Philosophy of Food, ed. Introduction Philosophers have a long but scattered history of analyzing food. But why is this subject – a footnote to Plato just like the rest of the philosophy – not yet fully entrenched as a standard philosophical subject? But perhaps the real reason why relatively few philosophers analyze food is because it’s too difficult. But things are starting to change. The role of philosophy is to cut through the morass of contingent facts and conceptual muddle to tackle the most basic questions about food: What is it exactly? Food Metaphysics (return to top) We presuppose some conception – however vague – of what food is whenever we eat or identify something as food. Food as nutrition.
Science news, blogs, forum, protocols and social networking for science afficionados The weekend before Christmas, I was sucked into a giant, enticing vortex of craving and desire, stuck for hours with the inability to leave—my only limitation being my wallet. In other words, I went to Target. And—again, in other words—I was like a bull in a China shop. Back in 2009, Target introduced new gigantic, plastic, Playskool-esque shopping carts. Maneuvering the aisles is like passing a car on a one-lane country road in a Hummer. Of course they're ridiculously cumbersome, but it's all a trick on the Target executives' part—the bigger your cart, the more you can fit in there. In this second installment, we'll explore how stores betray our sense of sight, tricking us to buy stuff we really don't want or need. Retailers have—quite creepily, actually—studied our every move. They also like to welcome us . . .
Seven Blunders of the World The Seven Social Sins, sometimes called the Seven Blunders of the World, is a list that Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi published in his weekly newspaper Young India on October 22, 1925.[1] Later, he gave this same list to his grandson Arun Gandhi, written on a piece of paper, on their final day together, shortly before his assassination.[2] The seven sins or blunders are: History and influence[edit] Mahatma Gandhi, who published the list in 1925 as a list of "Seven Social Sins" (1940s photo) The list was first published by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi in his weekly newspaper Young India on October 22, 1925.[1] Gandhi wrote that a correspondent who he called a "fair friend" had sent the list: "The... fair friend wants readers of Young India to know, if they do not already, the following seven social sins,"[1] (the list was then provided).
