How is your Quantum Physics? You may need it to Improve your Organization’s Performance!
Organizational cultures are like magnetic fields that cannot be seen
but are strongly felt throughout the organization! Organizational
communication is like a gravitational force that pulls employees in the
right direction! Interactions between members of the organization are
like sub-atomic particles - it is not the particles themselves that
produce powerful outputs - it is the interactions between the particles
that generates the power! So says Margaret Wheatly in her book Leadership
and the New Science: Discovering Order in a Chaotic World.
In the book, Wheatly draws from concepts in quantum physics, chaos
theory, and molecular biology to help improve organizational
performance. Wheatly calls for free-flowing information, individual
empowerment, relationship networks, and organizational change that
evolves organically. Sounds a bit crazy!; but when you learn that the
author is a consultant to many large corporations all over the world,
her ideas may be worth a serious look.
Thankfully the book is very readable, and the author freely admits
that she had to brush up on her own quantum physics before writing the
it.
Recommendation: a very interesting a provocative read that may
challenge your personal paradigm about how organizations really work.

Not sure if you plan on being based in Canada or operate your business from Columbia but either way being in the web development arena allows you to work from anywhere.
You can also search for opportunities originating from Canada thru elance.com, getafreelancer.com, freelance.com or rentacoder.com
Re: What I Enjoyed Reading This Week - Oct 14
- I really enjoyed the Improve your vision with an app article in the New Scientist. I don't wear glasses and think a lot of people cripple their vision by wearing specs from an early age instead of exercising their eyes... Nice to see someone has developed an ap that will help.
ARTICLE: Performance coaching in the workplace
- To create lasting performance change it is necessary to first understand the positive and negative influence that a person’s personal behaviors has on their execution and what impact these have on their ability to achieve success. Only when we fully understand a person’s behavioral patterns and create positive self-managing coaching strategies can we assist a person to create lasting performance change.
The vast majority of employers believe coaching can deliver significant benefits to both individuals and organizations. The majority of employers plan to increase the use of coaching over the next few years, according to a new survey by the Institute of Personnel and Development. Nearly nine out of ten interviewed companies expect their managers and supervisors to deliver performance coaching as part of their day-to-day work.
In another large industry-wide study it was found that most managers reported that they were confident in their ability to coach. However, the study also showed that the managers’ actual skills levels as coaches were typically poor. As a consequence they were not nearly as effective in their coaching as they believe themselves to be. Often times, they believed that coaching consisted of just providing 1-to-1 instructional feedback to their staff members on what to do in a given situation to perform better.
Many recent studies have shown that technical skills only represent at best 20% of the contribution into our performance. The remaining 80% comes from our ability to choose or make a decision, assertiveness, commitment to grow, ability to concentrate, honesty, optimism, persistence, ability to perform well under stress and so on. These traits are commonly called our soft skills or attitude. Few managers understand just how deeply rooted their own behavior patterns are, let alone how to positively change them in other people.
Performance coaching is frequently confused with other types of coaching, such as Executive coaching and Life coaching. Performance coaching is a form of Directive coaching. Executive coaching and Life coaching are both forms of Non-directive coaching. Directive coaching is usually more suitable for a manager who sometimes acts as a coach.
Performance coaching in the workplace has developed immensely from what it was only 4 years ago. To choose the right coach will make a huge difference. You also better make sure to know what you want. If your coach knows what (s)he is doing – you will get on your way to get it!
