    This was insightful and inspiring. I can't wait to learn more. I am keenly interested in the opportunities surrounding a new era of adaptive education models. I recently submitted an idea through Toyota's idea for good campaign and created this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…

    I agree this is authentic work! To me this has coaching cultures written all over it! Beautiful!Coaching is about adaptive change, improves employee engagement and is a process that evolves human capitol. There are many coaching models out there. The one I use is proven and is used at RRU for their executive coaching program. It’s the Excelerator model.

  • Simon File

    I really like it much! Can we get it in CDs copies? cos here there is no continuous flow of talk frequent inconsistency. But it is very very good lesson to us students,leaders and Managers to be applied!

    This is brilliant, pertinant, right on and every corporation should play this to all managers that have people reporting to them, to change things up and break out of the confines of lock step conformity, “which must be right, as we have always done things a certain way”
    Motivation, purpose, autonomy, freedom, trust, empowerment and dialouge bring remarkable, inovation, creativity and hard work

    Nice article. Your article motivated me a lot. I feel that, this is a nice way to learn and understand easily. Theory is somewhat difficult to learn but it is easy to learn.

    Thoroughly enjoyed it, a great summary of the book. Would be even better if the essential concept of “flow” is incorporated as part of the animation

    I could think of a million fun strategies to read the posts on this site. There’s no doubt that I will eventually take action with your tips on those things I could not have been able to address alone.  I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head before writing. The comic strip is attractive, your authored subject matter stylish. nevertheless, you command get got an shakiness over that you want be delivering the following.

    I’m sorry for this intrusion, I see from your site that we are very much into the same things. I have just come across something that I think you would be interested in. check it out and have a fantastic day :-

    I reveiwed this first thing today, 5:15am with my 1st cup of coffee.
    My day was made better by this bit of inspiration and elightenment.
    It’s review time where I work and I’ll be incorporating some of this into my discussions, not to test the theorys, as I believe they are sound, but rather to let my team know I care and that I’ll do my best to ensure they feel a bit more autonomus, they are to a degree masters of their situation and that feel what they do has purpose.
    Thank you for the topic review.

    The two coolest sites Ive ever been on are RSA and TED.

  • Stephanie_tuters

    Is there any way to have an RSA animation of a speach done? I work for a prof who would love to have one of his talks animated.

    This is fascinating! Thank you for posting.

    Actually it looks like the author rediscovered a very old truth, in the words of the Bible: “No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.” Interestingly Ernst Rutherford who discovered the structure of atom used a shorter version of this idea: “you cannot serve God and Mammon”, where I assume by God he meant science, and Mammon is Sumerian God of wealth, by which in this context Rutherford probably meant money. In other words when a talented scientist is doing fundamental research and is really interested to learn a new truth regarding how the world works, he can typically only succeed and make a real breakthrough if he completely devotes himself to solution of the problem. He can’t distract his attention to money. For example this way Newton invented calculus. This definitely applies to creative work of a software engineer.

    Actually to avoid “ships passing in the night” effect, the Australian company is using their version of a well-known brainstorm method only occasionally, mainly to get new ideas, and also to get ideas regarding fixes of the known problems. Once the idea is clearly formulated and selected for execution then the implementation requires management, so the process you described is entirely about the implementation management, and I completely agree with all you said regarding this phase based on my own 35 years of software development (half of them in Russia).  Good luck with your projects!
