TeamWork - Rocket Science Online!
Fifty years of research literature on teams, identifies predictors of team success. What team members think, feel or do will almost certainly determine the success or failure of any team. Team efficiency is directly related to how individual team members complete their tasks. You really don't have to be a rocket scientist to work with an online team. Scientific team studies are still in the infancy stages however mounting evidence supports the commonly held notion that teamwork is the most efficient way to produce results. A successful team structure encourages team collaboration with a clear goal and mission that utilizes the individuals knowledge, skills, tools and resources necessary to get the job done.
On Taking Risks
One of the hardest things in life to do is take risks. Many people tell me they're not willing to sacrifice their security, and find risk-taking to be frightening. But once you realize that everything involves risk, your confidence becomes the cure for risk aversion. One survey showed that in order for people to succeed in business they need self- confidence, drive and energy, the ability to deal with uncertainty and confusion, and finally, persistence. These attributes will come naturally when you are doing what you truly want to do. When you are pursuing Core Desires, you are willing to acquire knowledge, skills, and experience, and you have the will to persist.

Is There a Difference Between Training and Learning?
This free article by Derek Stockley defines the terms 'training' and 'learning'. The key differences are discussed and the implications for managers and team leaders are canvassed.
A “Knowledge Strategy” For Your Organization
A knowledge strategy is of critical importance to the overall strategy of an organization. It is our collective organizational knowledge that gives us the edge over our competition. “Brain is in… brawn is out.” An organization should determine the value of its collective intellectual capital and market it!
How to Build a Great Team

Have you told them? Are you taking care of them? If not…Why not?
Empathy Means Not Going It Alone
When I feel overwhelmed, it's often because I forget that I'm not in competition with the rest of the world, but I always have the option to join in cooperation. That requires that I adjust my attitude toward the rest of the population of the world and see them as other 'selves' rather than threats. This awareness, this attitude, I call 'empathy'.
Training and the Poor: Learning to change
This paper explores the role of training in assisting individuals who are economically vulnerable and socially excluded (EVSE) in developing countries. Roughly speaking, almost one in four of the population in the developing world lives in absolute poverty and this number continues to increase rather than decrease. Poverty reduction is now at the top of the policy agendas of most bilateral donor agencies and international development organisations within and outside the United Nations system as well as a growing number of governments. Ambitious targets to halve poverty by 2015 have been set by the Development Assistance Committee of the OECD (see UNDP, 1998; OECD, 1997).

Knowledge And The Intellectural Capital Of The Organization
In the new economy of the millennium, knowledge has emerged as an asset to be valued, developed and managed. The quest for knowledge is not new: in the fourth century BC, Aristotle noted "All men by nature desire knowledge." Now, 25 centuries later, knowledge drives the global economy. No longer is knowledge considered only an individual's personal wisdom; knowledge is a component of the intellectual capital of organizations (Stewart 1997).

Knowledge And The Intellectural Capital Of The Organization
In the new economy of the millennium, knowledge has emerged as an asset to be valued, developed and managed. The quest for knowledge is not new: in the fourth century BC, Aristotle noted "All men by nature desire knowledge." Now, 25 centuries later, knowledge drives the global economy. No longer is knowledge considered only an individual's personal wisdom; knowledge is a component of the intellectual capital of organizations (Stewart 1997).

The Value Of Knowledge To The Organization
Since knowledge is an intangible asset, it is difficult to assign a value to it. Its amorphous nature exacerbates this difficulty. Lew Platt, former CEO of Hewlett Packard, has acknowledged the dilemma: "If HP know what HP knows, we would be three times as profitable." Intellectual capital is collective knowledge, but who collects it and who disseminates it? Successful and competitive organizations are rich in knowledge, but whose knowledge is it and and who assigns value to it? Values assigned to knowledge may differ. For example, knowledge May have one value for the organization, another for shareholders, yet another for current and potential partners, and still one more for individuals within the organization.

Presentation And Writing Skills Training Yields Effective Business Communication Skills
The key to effective business communication is getting to the point, what Navy SEALs I worked with in a seminar called BLUF -- bottom line up front. Whether trying to sharpen your business writing skills or presentation skills, the key is to tell your reader or audience what you want (or what you want them to understand) and then tell them why that's important. For any writer practicing effective communication, that starts with "five Ws and one H" -- who, what, when, why, where and how. The SEALs understood that all their hard-won knowledge has little value if they can't develop the communication skills to share it with the people who set policy, spend money and make far-reaching decisions. And those people are busy, so communication training, whether for writing skills or presentation skills, has to focus on brevity,
