Our social environment is hierarchical and we can all guess roughly where we and others lie in this hierarchy. It rarely needs to be stated explicitly – a boss does not need to remind his employee that he’s the boss every day. Yet hierarchy acts in the background, like an invisible hand, modifying almost each of our interactions. It makes us more or less polite, familiar, or audacious with those people for whom each attitude is more or less appropriate. Via Jone Johnson Lewis, Pepe Crespo, Ricard Lloria Delete the scoop?

How is leadership in a hyper-connected workplace different? It’s been an ongoing conversation here, as this comment by Stephen Downes, on leadership as an emergent property, provides a counterpoint to certain popular leadership literature, especially “great man” theories. ‘Leadership’ is the trait people who have been successful ascribe as the reason for their success.

(From the article): ‘Leadership’ is the trait people who have been successful ascribe as the reason for their success.
Chuck Sanders, PhD's comment,
April 30, 8:17 AM
Viewing leadership as a behavior, and not a trait, is more appropriate for the 'hyper-connected' and dynamic workplace. What most organizations need today is leadership behavior from more than just the executives and managers. Therefore, a more useful perspective of leadership is about influence, where a person with a change idea has the courage to influence others to accept the change idea and act on it.

By Nicole Frehsée An expert in the field of positive psychology explores the perks of bonding -- with everyone around you.
David Hain's insight:
In her new book Love 2.0: How Our Supreme Emotion Affects Everything We Feel, Think, Do, and Become, Barbara Fredrickson, Ph.D., suggests that true love isn't just about romance, companionship, or fondness; fundamentally, it springs from something she calls "micromoments of shared positive emotion." Fredrickson's research has found that such moments have the potential to lower our risk for disease and may even influence how our cells regenerate. Delete the scoop?

Ashoka's collaboration with the Peace Corps goes way back to when Sargent Shriver, the dynamic force behind the creation of the Peace Corps, provided thought leadership for the creation of Ashoka as a member of the Ashoka Council? Since then, based on the mutual values of service, leadership and community engagement, Ashoka fellows and Peace Corps volunteers have worked and learnt from each other. As both organisations approach milestones in their journeys, Ashoka asks volunteers to help strengthen the bond. Read Peace Corps volunteer and Ashoka Fellow,Greg Van Kirk's experience here.

(From the article): I'd like the sense that someone of taste and discretion and experience has already whittled down the choices. (That's the problem with search engines, by the way - no taste!) The world needs editing - and yes, I use that word advisedly. Give me the cheeses that matter, offer me a wine list that's manageable. And put all the information that's raining down on us from cyberspace in a convenient, easy-to-handle form. Sorry, I never intended to be a defence of newspapers! Delete the scoop?
