Is Your Ego A Spoiled Child!
Have you been looking to or trying to understand better who or what the ego is as a way to understand it so that you can get past it? I have and I've been given some interesting answers from my Angel Guides. The ego has for far too long gone unchecked and has caused much havoc and it is now time to change that. The biggest reason why this has happened, I believe, is due to lack of awareness in regards to the ego. It is difficult to change the direction of something if we are not aware of which direction it is going. I trust this article will give you one more perspective and will increase your awareness of the things your ego is doing that, just maybe, you are not fully aware of yet.

Why hiring or keeping the 600lb sales gorilla is a mistake
For many years the legend of the 600lb sales gorilla or Alpha sales superstar has been strutting the hallways and boardrooms of businesses. Often revered for achieving top of the league ladder sales results, yet feared by many for their aggressive, manipulative, ego centric, demanding, intimidating antics, countless CEO’s and sales managers have allowed these sales prima donnas to remain in their sales teams but at what cost to their sales team and their business?
A plate of juicy, sliced lemons!

THE FORCES THAT INFLUENCE ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR IN THE MODERN ORGANIZATIONS
Modern organizations evolve as the marketplace and societies evolve around them. Political, environmental, and economic factors drive these changes in certain directions. Typically, organizations not only adapt to these changes but initiate them too. Adaptation can be achieved “passively” by merely reacting to external stimulus or “actively” by truly embracing changing circumstances to maximum benefit. Historically, we are aware of many of these changes, the industrial age, the innovation age, the age of the knowledge worker, or the creative age. The future requires us to work smarter, to be open and flexible. This will be flat from a point of view of opportunity for all or spiky when it comes to valleys and mountains of creativity.

Think different (Who was Steve Jobs?)
Thanks to Steve Jobs we all think differently. Many, many stories have been written about Steve particularly since his death. They have primarily focused on how he influenced our thinking about technology, and about the way and through what vehicles we all communicate. Unquestionably, because of his innovative genius all of our lives are different. However, the question is, whether or not the differences are always entirely good?

Trust Measurement: How to Measure Smarter
Trust is an attribute, a value and a character trait that is very much on every leader's mind. We are seeing more and more programs which focus on building and maintaining trust. Leaders want to be sure that they are getting value for money and therefore look at measures which can report the ROI. Sometimes, though, this focus on immediate or even medium term ROI misses the deeper meaning behind these kinds of efforts. When you are changing attitudes and behaviours, you are working at a deep level of change. You have to look at different performance metrics which don't focus on quantitative results but can look at the deeper layers of change. Dr. Dean Spitzer is my performance guru and has written a useful guide on Transformational Performance Measurement
8.0 Culture and Small Business Success: Entrepreneurship and Small Business Enterprise Growth in Uganda
It is possible that in the study of business, especially small business, there has been no attention to the subject of culture and its impact on business success. We appear to be taken for granted that the concept of business, which is a cultural pattern in different societies, is understood the same way everywhere. Discussing entrepreneurship we conclude that successful entrepreneurship entails certain behavioural patterns. That behaviour is shaped in a cultural setting. We also appear to take it for granted that the concept of profit, the end result of a business activity, as a common meaning in different cultures.

Coaching in Relation to Behavioural Styles and Patterns
When considering the effects of behaviour in business, business coaches have long used behavioural profiling tools like DISC, to produce data which equips them to work with business owners, enabling them to get their staff to understand their own behaviour, recognise the behaviour of people they interact with and then adapt accordingly. This increases their credibility and improves communication. Of course, this relates to the team as a whole, and recent research suggests that improvements in this area can have a significant affect on bottom line profits.
Moving to a 'consequential corporate culture'
In any organisation it is the behaviour of its’ people that lead to success, mediocrity or failure. Behaviours stem from a set of values that the organisation must understand and that leadership must role model. Behaviours must also have consequences for the values to have any credibility; an up side for good behaviour in terms of recognition and reward and a downside for poor behaviour in terms of challenge, coaching, training and development and perhaps even having to leave the organisation. In the article we provide 10 areas that you must focus on to embed values and the right behaviours in your business.
Behavioural Intelligence – Noticing What Goes on in Meetings
Behaviour is what you say or do. It's not about what you think or feel. As human beings we have a unique brain structure which allows us to separate our behaviour from our feelings. Meetings and interactions at work are one of the places where this behavioural skill is most important and relevant. Behavioural Intelligence is about raising awareness, so that you notice your own and others' behaviour, and make conscious decisions about it.
Behavioural Intelligence – Modelling Excellent Behaviour
There is only one person you can directly control and be responsible for – you. Behavioural Intelligence is about taking charge of your behaviour and deciding what is most useful, appropriate and constructive to say or do next. If you decide while you’re doing it or saying it - it’s too late. The most skilled practitioners interrupt their instincts and make a conscious decision about their next behaviour.
Behavioural Intelligence – Mistakes and Behaviours to Avoid
Behavioural Intelligence means becoming acutely aware of your own behaviour and choosing what to do next rather than allowing your emotions or gut reaction to cause you to operate in a negative or destructive pattern. A common stimulus for bad behaviour is a sense of being attacked or unfairly criticised. Deciding too quickly that someone else’s contribution is wrong, interrupting them and jumping into judgment mode is an even more frequent mistake.
10 common behaviour management mistakes teachers make
Teaching is a complex social activity, and while teacher training prepares teachers well around content expertise and delivery, very little is done to skill teachers in behaviour management. Behaviour management, in what is already a high-stress profession, remains one of the most significant stressors for teachers, yet little has been done systematically to solve the problem. Much of the literature addresses teacher stress from a stress management perspective (treat the symptom). In this article, I plan to explore the 10 most significant mistakes teachers can make in managing student behaviour. Further, I also set out to show what a brain-based, coaching or best-pratice alternative might be to each of the ten mistakes.
