Méditation & Leadership - Prendre conscience, donner du sens FOCUS: The Hidden Driver of Excellence – Summary Review | Psychology in Every Day Life | A Publication By Dr. Deborah Khoshaba Posted on 23 January 2014. Is Attention Today’s Scarcest Resource? The essential theme of Daniel Goleman’s new book “FOCUS: The Hidden Driver of Excellence” is that “paying attention” is a lost art form that needs resurrecting. In today’s noisy fast-moving world, it’s easy to become distracted, isolated and overwhelmed. Yet focus is integral to our happiness, productivity and relationships (both personal and professional). Think Of Attention or Focus Like a Muscle Use it poorly and it can wane. The Three Areas Of Focus 1) Inner (self‐management) 2) Other (empathy for others) 3) Outer (awareness of broad patterns and complex systems) Self Regulation “Smart Practices”It’s not the chatter around us that is the most potent distraction, but rather the chatter of our own minds (our own inner talk) which can take us offtrack. What Are We Actually Doing When We Are Being Mindful? “The antidote to a lack of empathy is getting to know people who are different to you!”

Color Insight : A tool using the Régnier Abacus principle Social Categorization The prototype view solves most of the problems that confront the classical view, and (in my view, anyway) is probably the best theory of conceptual structure and categorization that we've got. But as research proceeded on various aspects of the prototype view, certain problems emerged, leading to the development of other views of concepts and categories. In the prototype view, as in the classical view, related categories can be arranged in a hierarchy of subordinate and superordinate categories. Many accounts of the prototype view argue that there is a basic level of categorization, which is defined as the most inclusive level at which: objects in a category have characteristic attributes in common; objects have characteristic movements in common; objects have a characteristic physical appearance; and objects can be identified and categorized from their average appearance. The Exemplar View Teasing apart the prototype and the exemplar view turns out to be fiendishly difficult. Early This The

Les 4 piliers du management collaboratif, les « 4C »​ par F boyer | NextStart Face à ces transformations, les entreprises prennent progressivement conscience de l’inadaptation de certains modes de management, autrefois sources de performance. Se posent alors de nouvelles questions. Comment : – S’adapter à un environnement imprévisible et en permanente mutation ? – Faire face à de nouveaux concurrents, venus de toute part et de plus en plus « agressifs » ? – Répondre aux besoins de clients de plus en plus impatients, exigeants et individualistes ? – Rester serein dans un contexte de crise financière ? Parce que plus de la même chose produit les mêmes effets… En réaction, bon nombre de dirigeants appliquent ce qu’ils ont appris, à savoir : – Réduire les coûts pour être plus attractif – Limiter au maximum les risques pour éviter de se mettre en danger – Renforcer le reporting et les contrôles pour se rassurer – Augmenter et diversifier les projets pour accroître la performance Et même si les organigrammes sont plus plats, le système bureaucratique demeure. 2d pilier : le CHOIX

Erik Erikson's Psychosocial Theory of Human Development, eight crisis stages human life-cycle, for teaching and learning, child development He also referred to his theory as 'epigenesis' and the 'epigenetic principle', which signified the concept's relevance to evolution (past and future) and genetics. Erikson explained his use of the word 'epigenesis' thus: "...epi can mean 'above' in space as well as 'before' in time, and in connection with genesis can well represent the space-time nature of all development..." (from Vital Involvement in Old Age, 1989). In Erikson's theory, Epigenetic therefore does not refer to individual genetic make-up and its influence on individual development. This was not central to Erikson's ideas. Erikson, like Freud, was largely concerned with how personality and behaviour is influenced after birth - not before birth - and especially during childhood. erik erikson's eight stages of psychosocial development Like other seminal concepts, Erikson's model is simple and elegant, yet very sophisticated. The main elements of the theory covered in this explanation are: N.B. Generations affect each other.

Holland Code Assessment Take the Quiz The Holland Codes is a system to classify jobs into job categories, interest clusters, or work personality environments. In the Holland Model, these categories represent work personalities. The work personalities are: Realistic people are usually assertive and competitive, and are interested in activities requiring motor coordination, skill and strength. People with a realistic orientation usually prefer to work a problem through by doing something, rather than talking about it, or sitting and thinking about it. Assessments using Holland Personality Styles link vocational interests to job families. Reference: John Holland (1985) Making Vocational Choices (2nd ed.)
