It’s full of great insights and it’s also a peek at a candid Simon Sinek.

It’s a great nine and a half minutes!

The post Feedback is a Gift appeared first on HOTBUTTON SOLUTION.

The cause is primarily a combination of accumulated stress and an employee perception that they are just names and numbers.

The solution is a combination of demonstrating that you are interested in your employee’s wellbeing, that you understand there is stress and disruption, and making it clear that performance rooted in teamwork is a priority in your organization.

Making it clear that you care is delivered through management by example and policy, which is the expression of your corporate culture. Making corporate culture stick requires engagement, which is a result of a healthy and informed communication culture.

Creating and maintaining an informed communication culture is just one of the many reasons our workshop will be so valuable to your organization, it’s a game changer.

The post Managing Quiet Quitting appeared first on HOTBUTTON SOLUTION.

The case is presented that emotion is simply energy in motion, hence “E”motion. And while emotion is straightforward in nature, it often manifests in complex behaviour patterns. The good news is that understanding the basic principles of behaviour and it’s motivators goes a long way towards de-mystifying “E”motion and learning to manage it.

I’ve always liked this quote, and just came across it once again while researching something else. It’s attributed to Peter Druker, a visionary thinker in the field of management theory.

Here’s a link to a Wikipedia page about him if you would like to dig deeper; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Drucker

The post Culture Eats Strategy appeared first on HOTBUTTON SOLUTION.

There are so many great takeaways. One that I especially liked was Stop, Listen, Think, then Respond. It was nice to hear that said by two such renowned thinkers, I’ve been promoting that very communication cycle for years in my writing and workshops.

Another wonderful takeaway was that conflict resolution is not about ending conflict, it’s about transforming the approach into one of seeking constructive rather than destructive interactions. And this is made possible by someone being able and willing to risk offering something better for the other side to respond to.

This is really wonderful stuff, kudos to both Simon Sinek and William Ury.

Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

The post A BIT OF OF OPTIMISM appeared first on HOTBUTTON SOLUTION.

If you can only find time to listen to one recording this holiday season, may I recommend this one? I feel it is a truly great speech offering wonderfully humorous insights. These insights are delivered in the form of a useful, rather than motivational, commencement address.

I would like to thank Eduardo Bailetti for sharing this with me so I am now able to share it with you.

Note: There are longer versions of this on the web that have even more funny content.

The post THIS IS WATER – DAVID FOSTER WALLACE appeared first on HOTBUTTON SOLUTION.

I’ve always been impressed with Simon Sinek. In this very short video he has managed to synthesize why culture is absolutely key to success.  As a heads up, I’ve edited a few words in this video clip. I believe this is a valuable message and it needs to be heard by everyone everywhere.

The post Culture = Momentum = Success appeared first on HOTBUTTON SOLUTION.

Dealing with these natural tendencies comes down to culture, which of course includes both leadership and engagement. One of the great insights is that to think outside the box requires overcoming both the biology and the conditioning of our brains.

The speaker is Dave Wascha, at the time Chief Product Officer at Moo.com and he is speaking at the Mind The Product Conference in 2014, The talk is entitled Inside the Mind of the Product Manager.

The post The Tyranny of Inertia appeared first on HOTBUTTON SOLUTION.

Like so many other things, there is more to ego than meets the eye. High performers understand this, and the best of them have learned to manage their egos. Just as they manage their nervous system, time, dedication, discipline and many other things. High performance is not an accident. Rather, it is the result of persistent purposeful effort. That effort starts with learning to manage human nature, which ego is a part of. And that requires focused learning, just like any other field of study.

Here’s the good news. It’s relatively easy to learn the basics of human nature. We already know much of it. We just don’t view it through a focused and informed lens in our busy day to day lives. The better news is that with this knowledge you can create an environment around you that encourages high performance. In so doing you invest in success. Whether you apply that to yourself, your tribe, your organization, or all of the above, this is an investment that can’t help but pay off.

Below is a link to an article by Jeff Steen of INC magazine, spotlighting Ryan Holiday. In outlining 5 key practices of positive leaders he provides a deeper view of ego. I came across the article on LinkedIn. It was posted by Carol Ring, a thought leader in the workplace culture space. You can find out more about her at carolring.ca, and I encourage you do so.

Meanwhile, here’s a link to this great and insightful article.

The post Is there an upside to EGO? appeared first on HOTBUTTON SOLUTION.

With understanding comes power.

Being able to recognize how and why our human natures impact our performance and our relationships is invaluable. The following video talks about the why. For our part, we talk about the how. How do you recognize instinctive responses and how do you manage them in order to achieve better results. Which ultimately leads to how do you build a results oriented communication culture.

This video was produced by The School of Life under the title “How Our Childhoods Affect Our Adult Lives”.
