Connected Professional Development Is Now An Imperative

Connected Professional Development Is Now An Imperative | Creating Connections | Scoop.it
This blog post was originally posted at Teach Thought and was written by ASCD published author Michael Fisher. ASCD is leading the theme Educator Professional Development & Learning during Connected Educator Month. I used to sit in workshops that were peripherally, if at all, related to my professional practice. I’d spend hours in a physical face-to-face workshop and leave with maybe one or two ideas that mattered to me. I may or may not have acted on those ideas dependent on how stressed th

How To Work For A Manager You Never See

How To Work For A Manager You Never See | Creating Connections | Scoop.it

The workplace today is much different from the workplace of 30, 20, and even 10 years ago. Open office designs, in-house baristas, and for many organizations bosses managing from across the country are now the norm. Between video conferencing, email, and instant messaging, physical proximity to the office is no longer a requirement. Companies are hiring based on talent and fit, not if someone can be in their chair 24/7. This change has led to entire teams being spread across time zones, states, and even countries. While it can be tricky to report to a remote manager, I’m here to tell you it’s possible.

Senior Vice President at MGM Resorts Gives 3 Life-changing Ways to use Feedback

Senior Vice President at MGM Resorts Gives 3 Life-changing Ways to use Feedback | Creating Connections | Scoop.it

We learned how to give feedback. One important step this team took to improve its performance was to create a sort of social contract. They agreed to a number of behaviors they wanted to hold themselves accountable for. The team started practicing a "scoring" technique to track how well they practiced the behaviors individually, and learned how to give feedback to explain their scores for each other.

 

Teams like Litster's often include a number of common elements in their "operating agreements." Some items might include avoiding blame, looking for the root cause of a problem, communicating messages even when they're hard to say, and receiving messages without defensiveness even when they're hard to hear.

We've all encountered organizations that are going through a lot of change. I recently worked with an organization going through a transitional phase--they had a new division and even that division had gone through a major overhaul so they could be higher functioning within the whole of the company. All of that change can be hard on a team.

10 Ways to Stop Feeling Overworked and Overwhelmed | Creating Connections | Scoop.it
I had just read an early version of a new book and decided to do a quick survey during a speaking engagement. I asked the audience, "How many of you feel overworked and overwhelmed?"As far as I could tell, every hand was raised.No surprise there. We all feel overworked. And we all feel overwhelmed, at least some of the time. (Even if by other people's standards we seem to have it easy, to us it still feels like we're overwhelmed.)Effectively balancing our professional and personal live

Why Virtual Teams Have More Conflict

Why Virtual Teams Have More Conflict | Creating Connections | Scoop.it
Meeting virtually is a necessity in today’s global economy, and doing so has plenty of advantages. Organizations can gather experts together regardless of geographic location, companies can give employees greater flexibility in where they work, and virtual technology can reduce the negative effects of hierarchy, allowing more equal participation among colleagues. But when things go wrong on virtual teams, it can get ugly fast.

Meeting virtually often complicates team dynamics.

Amanda Nadon-Langlois's curator insight, November 18, 2014 7:42 PM

This is no surprise. While virtual meetings are growing, they aren't always as effective as in-person meetings. Emails don't show the tone or meaning behind its words so they can easily be misinterpreted. Communications should be regulated whether it's face-to-face or through technology.
