Resources for GRADEpro | The Cochrane IMS HELP files We highly recommend using the HELP files found in the GRADEpro software. The HELP files provide specific information to create Summary of Findings (SoF) Tables and use the GRADE approach to grade the quality of the evidence. You can also access the HELP file from your desktop if you choose to add the icon when downloading GRADEpro. Also found in the HELP files is a brief step by step task list to create an SoF. The Cochrane Handbook The Cochrane Handbook includes two principle chapters which provide information on how to create Summary of Findings Tables using the information from Cochrane systematic reviews and GRADEing the evidence. Chapter 11: Presenting results and ‘Summary of findings’ tables Chapter 12: Interpreting results and drawing conclusions Webinars and online modules Online modules for GRADE criteria and Summary of Findings TablesA variety of online modules have been created to help GRADE the evidence in systematic reviews and create Summary of Findings Tables.
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. Format and administration[edit]
Leadership Traits And Behaviors: Four Evidence-Based Suggestions - Bret L. Simmons - Positive Organizational Behavior Most approaches to explaining leadership effectiveness focus on either leader traits (e.g. personality, intelligence, gender) or leader behaviors (e.g. directive, participative, charismatic, servant leadership). Both approaches have been shown to have merit, but how do traits and behaviors work together, and is one approach better than the other? A new meta-analysis looked at evidence from 79 previously published studies to attempt to answer this question. The article is about 45 pages long, and I provide the full citation at the end of this post in case you are having trouble sleeping some evening. I think the four most interesting findings from the research are as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. Because the evidence shows that behaviors are the strongest predictors of leader effectiveness, we can and should train folks to be more effective leaders. Article citation: Derue, D.S. et al.

Science & Nature - Human Body and Mind - Mind - Personality The Neuroscience of Self-Esteem, Self-Criticism and Self-Compassion All the emphasis on self-esteem building in recent decades has done little to instruct people on what to do when they hit a bump in the road. Most of us, research shows, unleash our inner critic – even if the hardship is brought on by age, illness or another inevitable part of life. Recently, scientists such as Paul Gilbert of Kingsway Hospital in the United Kingdom and Kristin Neff of the University of Texas at Austin, have suggested being self-compassionate, rather than self-critical, especially in rough times, is more likely to help us rebound and may lead to greater success and happiness in the long run. This is not just semantics or new-age feel-good fluff. Gilbert associates self-esteem, self-criticism and self-compassion with three interacting emotional systems in the brain, each with their own evolutionary purpose and mediating neurotransmitters. The "drive" system The threat-protection system For many of us, these first two systems dominate. The mammalian care-giving system
The sketchnote revolution « Dachis Group Collaboratory I’ve got an idea for a new year’s resolution: Join the sketchnote revolution. Sketchnotes are a visual form of note-taking that can include drawings, various lettering sizes and styles, color, icons, arrows, boxes and more — whatever works for you. I’d say that sketchnoting is officially a movement — maybe you’ve seen some from SXSWi or other conferences. And the best part? But these sketchnotes are pretty great. We all go to conferences. Enter sketchnotes. Seriously, anybody can do it. Benefits of Sketchnotes By writing and drawing key concepts you can make a better connection with the content as opposed to just typing out someone’s words.Non-linear note-taking lets you arrange things in ways that make sense to you and allows you to go back embellish and enhance key points.Simply by doing it more, you become better at drawing and less self-conscious about it.People actually are interested in reading notes like this — they get passed around. Draw liveDraw live and later Draw!
Maslow's hierarchy of needs Maslow's hierarchy of needs, represented as a pyramid with the more basic needs at the bottom[1] Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology proposed by Abraham Maslow in his 1943 paper "A Theory of Human Motivation" in Psychological Review.[2] Maslow subsequently extended the idea to include his observations of humans' innate curiosity. His theories parallel many other theories of human developmental psychology, some of which focus on describing the stages of growth in humans. Maslow used the terms "physiological", "safety", "belongingness" and "love", "esteem", "self-actualization", and "self-transcendence" to describe the pattern that human motivations generally move through. Maslow's theory was fully expressed in his 1954 book Motivation and Personality.[5] The hierarchy remains a very popular framework in sociology research, management training[6] and secondary and higher psychology instruction.

How personality plays a role in effective leadership Ginka Toegel and Jean-Louis Barsoux | June 01 2013 | 4:57 PM When executives identify admirable leaders, they often underestimate their struggle with certain elements of their personality. In truth, the majority of effective leaders even “naturals” like Richard Branson or PepsiCo’s Indra Nooyi had to work hard to manage their personality traits to get where they are today. There are countless personality traits that distinguish us from one another, some inherited while others are learned. The Big Five: How much is too much? Leaders at all levels are under intense pressure to push harder and to go faster. 1. Emotional stability can be a valuable asset for executives, helping them to cope with stress, setbacks and uncertainty. However, being too fiery or impatient can lead to the opposite result. 2. Extraversion can be advantageous in leadership, but can have negative effects too. 3. An open executive shows intellectual curiosity and big picture orientation. 4. 5. Learning to manage yourself

Designing conference posters » Colin Purrington A large-format poster is a big piece of paper or wall-mounted monitor featuring a short title, an introduction to your burning question, an overview of your novel experimental approach, your amazing results in graphical form, some insightful discussion of aforementioned results, a listing of previously published articles that are important to your research, and some brief acknowledgement of the tremendous assistance and financial support conned from others — if all text is kept to a minimum (less than a 1000 words), a person could fully read your poster in 5-10 minutes. Section content • DOs and DON’Ts • Adding pieces of flair • Presenting • Motivational advice • Software • Templates • Printing • Useful literature • Organizing a poster session What to put in each section Below, I’ve provided rough tips on how many words each of these sections might have, but those guesses are assuming you have a horizontal poster that is approximately 3×4′.
