Parliamo e scriviamo in continuazione, a volte per esprimere concetti sensati, altre per puntualizzare che… non abbiamo niente da dire. Si parla e si scrive sempre di più, con la convinzione che più cose si dicono e meglio è. Ma è proprio così? O forse in questa gara per l’utilizzo della parola siamo troppo focalizzati sul dover dire a tutti i costi senza considerare gli effetti collaterali di un cattivo uso della parola? Delete the scoop?

This excellent article, suggests that the top employees of a small business can be turned into top recruiters at low cost, and it provides an 11 point check list to help employees to become effective recruiters for your business.

Seguire il flusso vuol dire scoprire momento dopo momento il senso di ciò che sta accadendo in noi e attorno a noi, un senso spesso nascosti in segnali deboli, in tracce apparentemente impercettibili. Seguire il flusso non vuol dire seguire ‘una carriera’, un cammino preciso, già scritto in manuali e previsto in percorsi strutturati. Si tratta di imparare a porre attenzione a ciò che appare a prima vista marginale e trascurabile. Delete the scoop?

The key is: (people are...) "working in survival mode..." - most of the classical motivation methods are simply not working in these circumstances...

Business owners often struggle when it comes to delivering critical feedback to an employee, especially when aspects of the employees performance, leave much to be desired. Unfortunately, if a business owner or manager wants their critical feedback to be accepted by the employee, the feedback must be direct and not be delivered as hints or polite requests for certain changes to take place. This good article, suggests employees need to be told upfront what exactly the relevant issue is, and it then suggests three steps to take to ensure that the critical feedback is received appropriately and the message sinks in in a way that will result in the requested outcomes.

I totally agree with David Hain on his commentary, great to see the research!
really liked "the office"
Research such as this breathes new life into the leadership truisms we all know, but sometimes fail to attend to in the midst of our busy lives
