Attracting, Selecting, and Nurturing Creative Workers (posted August 18, 2008)
Creative workers are the lifeblood of a dynamic, thriving organization. This presentation provides some of the elements to consider if you desire to focus on creative workers. In order to attract creative workers consider the effect of your brand, all your public actions and announcements, and the possibility of winning an award for the best place to work. Assessments exist which will indicate the cognitive ability and openness of candidates - key ingredients for creative individuals. Finally, cultural components necessary to nurture creative workers are provided.
Conflict in Organizations (updated June 13, 2008)
Conflict exists in all organizations. Some organizations handle it well, and in fact encourage it in order to enhance the scope of alternative solutions to problems. What separates functional organizations from dysfunctional ones is how they handle this conflict. Topics covered in this presentation include: sources of conflict, effects on your business (positive and negative), role of conflict in creativity, and anger. Several tools to aid in resolving conflict are introduced, including the Drama Triangle, Mirroring Dialog, and Thomas-Kilman Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI). Information regarding factors for interpersonal and organizational aggression has been added, along with results of studies on more and less successful conflict resolution strategies.
