What's actually going on in the brain when it processes language? And if words affect the mind in different ways, are some more persuasive than others? Via Karen Dietz

Wow! What an interesting post. I learned long ago as a probation officer in Texas, I could send someone to prison on the same set of facts depending on the language I used. This is one of the best articles I've ever read on the topic.

How important is trust in your organization? Without trust, you have nothing. It is the foundation upon which all relationships are built. When trust is present, everything is easier. Via AlGonzalezinfo

Doing a lot of research on Trust and its importance for my latest project, Leading Past the Status Quo, an internet radio show. Here is a resource I will be using this week. Thanks to Susan M. Heathfield (@heathereagar)
From the article:
Thinking about trust as made up of the interaction and existence of these three components makestrust easier to understand. The capacity for trusting means that your total life experiences have developed your current capacity and willingness to risk trusting others.
The perception of competence is made up of your perception of your ability and the ability of others with whom you work to perform competently at whatever is needed in your current situation.
The perception of intentions, as defined by Tway, is your perception that the actions, words, direction, mission, or decisions are motivated by mutually-serving rather than self-serving motives.

More than a third of companies are so dysfunctional, the best people don’t really care about what they’re doing and the worst people don’t know that they are doing a lousy job.

How scary is that. But I believe it. Leadership can be asleep at the wheel and not even realize that their people are don't care. Their is a huge disconnect between what leadership things is happening and what is really happening. The #1 reason people dis-engage is when they loose their faith in management. Leadership needs to communicate a compelling vision, connect with their team and recognize the behaviours and results they want.

Most leaders today believe in a “we” culture. They have read the books on building teams and work to implement the advice. Then they are stymied when the teamwork doesn’t happen or falls apart. Take these additional steps to turn your company culture from “I” to “We.”

(From the article): There is very little to stop you from creating a “we” culture if your actions and the organization’s policies support true teamwork. Inspire and model how to be a buoy in a “we” culture of service excellence. Ask the team for suggestions on how to strengthen the company culture. Involve them and they will build a “we” culture of teamwork! Delete the scoop?

Gamification Design learnings on employee motivation and engagement from a severe incentive system blunder in a Fortune 500 company.

April 5, 1:52 PM
From article :
"For a gamification designer, there are 10 design mistakes to learn from this real-life example: The mission is unachievable: the game cannot be won The players don't have all the tools to win The players cannot learn how to play the game The game masters change the rules arbitrarily The rewards are unclear The rewards are subject to change Some players (management) play with different rules Some players (management) earn an over-proportional amount of the limited rewards Story line, feedback, and rewards clash Players dis-engage and leave the game" Delete the scoop?

From the article: Melody Moore, consultant at Hay Group, said: "A leader's behaviour is the single biggest factor influencing the team working environment.
"Good leadership has the power to energise, engage and motivate staff to go the extra mile for their organisation. Poor leadership will have the opposite effect, creating a demotivating environment and leading in time to poor team performance including high staff turnover and frequent absences.
