Recovering From Work Burnout
"AngelBiz, I'm glad you enjoyed the article. You make a great point that in the "long-term" we must look out for ourselves overall. It's usually the nonstop focus on stressful issues, with no break, that leads to us getting burned out...even with things we love doing. Thanks for the comments. "Individual Vs Group Brainstorming: Which One Do You Prefer?
"Jane, your article is fantastic. I have a background in dealing with these issues and the psychology of group brainstorming is very complex. You touched on many of the problems quite well; people are afraid to speak out, they have a desire for acceptance by the team, strong personalities in the group influence others, the leader has an opinion, some people don't care...it gets complicated. I believe the research has shown that individual brainstorming is equal, if not better than, group brainstorming. In the event you do elect to use brainstorming in a group setting, some companies have began using electronic style brainstorming where participants enter their ideas into a database and they are discussed without anyone being judged or feeling they may look stupid or go against their bosses' ideas, etc. This process has greatly eliminated the issues commonly associated with group brainstorming. Thanks for the great article. You have a very clear writing style and it was fun to read. "Employee Training Made Easy: 4 Steps to Better Results
"Hi Heather, You ask some very good questions. It is tough to say why some businesses have chosen the training and development routes they have taken. Depending on the type and size of the business and the job position, businesses generally have excellent selection and placement systems in place to hire and lure the very best people in the market to their organizations or they have invested in outstanding training programs and have chosen to develop their own great employees. Both of these choices have costs and benefits to consider. I would love to hear from some business owners here on bizsugar and get their thought process on their training programs they have in place. Regardless of the size of the business, I hope no one has elected to allow their employees to learn by failing. I have written in the past about the value of allowing people to fail, but failing while trying and failing because your incompetent at your job is two different things. The training program should be created with consideration to the learning styles of the audience which will be using the program. Fast food jobs which employ a number of young people may use videos to train, high tech jobs use computer based training and industrial-type jobs may use some form of onsite training or apprentice training. "The Leadership Selection Funnel!
"Tathan, This is quite a unique view of leaders. Your definition is one I have not seen, but it is well thought out. You seem to be writing for people to be aware and filter things they encounter (people, books, ideas) based on their own principles and beliefs. This is a good idea. "Subscribe
