While it might seem counterintuitive to stop working if one is too distracted, it’s a viable technique as it helps to recharge and refresh. Have meals ready in advance, or just the ingredients, so you don’t have to decide and it’s easy to do. SELF-DETERMINATION THEORY: AUTONOMY, RELATEDNESS The theory has three components that can be effectively be used in a business, project or group context: Autonomy: people need to perceive that they have choices and that they can self-determine what to do.This is why most of the top-down management approaches fail: because there’s a difference between setting a vision and imposingactivities.
THE SIX STYLES OF LEADERSHIP · INTENSE MINIMALISM According to Daniel Goleman there are six styles of leadership, extracted from a research done on 3,871 executives.. The research didn’t just try to define the styles, it also correlated each one of them with the effect they have on the company climate, which then has a direct correlation on results. THE “RIGHT” SCROLLING DIRECTION ON YOUR COMPUTER · INTENSE The new scrolling behaviour in Mac OSX 10.7 Lion is very interesting to me, because researching about it unfolds an interesting interaction design topic that connects computer science and cognitive psychology, deeply hidden under the habit fog.. First of all, when I installed Lion and after a few discussions with fellow designers, I suddenly remembered the time when I was a freelance and I was THE PROJECT INITIATION WORKSHOP · INTENSE MINIMALISM Projects can be long and complex, but there’s one card I play often from my personal deck of solutions: the project initiation workshop, an activity that takes about one day and is done at the start of the project. This workshop inherits a lot from the techniques I learnt from Dave Gray, James Macanufo and Matt Moraski of XPLANE fame, and the related book, Gamestorming. EMAIL CSS CHEATSHEET · INTENSE MINIMALISM I was using a cheatsheet I made to add some subtle styling to emails – mostly, email signatures. Since it’s a bit outdated, I took the Campaign Monitor CSS Guide and I made a list of CSS styles you can use today. The last update was on 22 april 2010.

THE SEVEN TRANSFORMATIONS OF LEADERSHIP · INTENSE MINIMALISM There are many different approaches to segment leadership styles, and depending on the situation might be more or less useful. This one is from D. Rooke and W. R.

THE SIX STYLES OF LEADERSHIP · INTENSE MINIMALISM According to Daniel Goleman there are six styles of leadership, extracted from a research done on 3,871 executives.. The research didn’t just try to define the styles, it also correlated each one of them with the effect they have on the company climate, which then has a direct correlation on results. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OUR BODY AND OUR EMOTIONS The relationship between our body and our emotions. Since we started breaking the myth that “being a professional means avoiding emotions”, we have realized the importance of one key soft skill: emotional awareness. This is still a field being explored, especially in professional contexts where the line between personal andrelational could
THE IMPACT OF TOXIC INFLUENCERS ON COMMUNITIES · INTENSE The Impact of Toxic Influencers on Communities. There’s a common character that can be often spotted in many online communities. It’s the “toxic influencer” (sometimes referred as “intellectual bully”). A toxic influencer is a person that covers a useful role in a community, but at the same time creates a toxic environment around SELF-DETERMINATION THEORY: AUTONOMY, RELATEDNESS The theory has three components that can be effectively be used in a business, project or group context: Autonomy: people need to perceive that they have choices and that they can self-determine what to do.This is why most of the top-down management approaches fail: because there’s a difference between setting a vision and imposingactivities.

HOW TO REDUCE VIDEO CALL FATIGUE · INTENSE MINIMALISM The Stanford Virtual Human Interaction Lab has released an interesting study of the stressors that come with video calls, and outlined potential solutions that can help.The research is already in early stages, and the results will need to get confirmed, but these can be already useful guidelines to experiment with. TEAM HEALTH CHECKS: THE PERSON / TEAM / PRODUCT MODEL Team Health Checks: the Person / Team / Product model. Team health checks are a quick and high level way to assess how a team is feeling and doing. If you have never participated in one, imagine it as a quick survey along one or more set criteria, repeated over time. I generally consider team health checks a form of baseline feedback:it’s
MOTIVATING MOTIVATION: FROM REWARD TO RECOGNITION Motivating Motivation: from reward to recognition. To put in practice the socially mediated model of motivation, we need to focus on the distinction between reward and recognition, and put an emphasis on the latter. Plenty has been written about reward systems (i.e. bonuses, perks, gifts, shares, etc) but I personally prefer an approach that A SHORT THEORY OF LEARNING HOW TO DRAW · INTENSE MINIMALISM A short theory of learning how to draw. It’s generally assumed that people either have a talent for drawing or they don’t, and when they do they learn in an organic way over time. There’s a sort of mystique around the idea of drawing. More magic than science. In theexcellent book
THE FIVE FOUNDATIONS OF INTUITIVE ETHICS · INTENSE MINIMALISM The five foundations we identified are harm/care, fairness/reciprocity, in-group/ loyalty, authority/respect, and purity/sanctity. This seems an interesting theory not much because it tries to answer, but because it provides a model to review our own ethics and compare with THE SIX FACTORS OF A GREAT LEADER · INTENSE MINIMALISM The six factors of a great leader. I read today a post by Jeremy Dean that lists the factors that make a great leader. Decisiveness: in case of uncertainity, they make decisions and take responsibility. Competence: they are skilled and can create good teams. Integrity: they are able to create deep trustworthy relationships. EMAIL CSS CHEATSHEET · INTENSE MINIMALISM I was using a cheatsheet I made to add some subtle styling to emails – mostly, email signatures. Since it’s a bit outdated, I took the Campaign Monitor CSS Guide and I made a list of CSS styles you can use today. The last update was on 22 april 2010.

Extrinsic motivation, the kind of push coming from an external reason, like a monetary prize, a voucher or atravel

MOTIVATING MOTIVATION: THE SOCIALLY MEDIATED MODEL Among the various models to incentivize motivation in an organizations, the most basic one is the distinction of motivation between intrinsic and extrinsic.This is often used because compared to other approaches it’s simple, and provides an intuitive view on different sources of motivation. THE PROJECT INITIATION WORKSHOP · INTENSE MINIMALISM Projects can be long and complex, but there’s one card I play often from my personal deck of solutions: the project initiation workshop, an activity that takes about one day and is done at the start of the project.

This workshop inherits a lot from the techniques I learnt from Dave Gray, James Macanufo and Matt Moraski of XPLANE fame, and the related book, Gamestorming. THE TABLE RULE FOR THE MOST PRODUCTIVE TEAM SIZE · INTENSE The table rule — 3-8 people per team, depending on context and scope.

SHUHARI: A MENTAL MODEL FOR THE PHASES OF MASTERY The three phases of mastery, in the way I converted them for a professional context, are: Shu (守), “protect”, “follow the rule”: in this phase the practitioner apply every method, approach or rule that the teacher provides.

The set-up-to-fail syndrome describes a dynamic in which employees perceived to be mediocre or weak performers live down to the low expectations their managers have for them.

The research didn’t just try to define the styles, it also correlated each one of them with the effect they have on the company climate, which then has a direct correlation on results. SELF-DETERMINATION THEORY: AUTONOMY, RELATEDNESS The theory has three components that can be effectively be used in a business, project or group context: Autonomy: people need to perceive that they have choices and that they can self-determine what to do.This is why most of the top-down management approaches fail: because there’s a difference between setting a vision and imposingactivities.

THE SEVEN TRANSFORMATIONS OF LEADERSHIP · INTENSE MINIMALISM There are many different approaches to segment leadership styles, and depending on the situation might be more or less useful.
