Ne travaillez (plus) jamais - 2020
« Travail » ? Ce qui se cache derrière la catégorie travail. Il n’y a pas si longtemps, on plantait des choux, on sciait du bois, on filait la laine, on enseignait aux enfants : on ne travaillait pas. Il n’existait pas une catégorie abstraite regroupant toutes les activités humaines, pas plus que notre vie n’était rythmée par un temps universel, abstrait lui aussi : le chronomètre du temps de travail. Aujourd’hui, ce que l’on appelle « travail » englobe toute activité humaine mesurée par ce temps, quel que soit son contenu.
Don’t Compete. Create! – Personal Growth
If you think that you have to compete for better jobs or more market share, you’re as wrong as I was. The idea of competition is engraved in our minds. We believe that we have to compete for the same jobs with others. If someone has a job, that means you can’t have the same job. And if a company has a certain market share, that means you have to compete with that company to “win” a piece of their share. At least, that’s what conventional advice says.
Le mirage de l'entrepreneuriat pour tous
EmailEmail Jan Kranendonk / Shutterstock L’entrepreneuriat est devenu, en moins de 50 ans, un Graal universel, célébré par un concert de louanges médiatiques, politiques voire académiques, et affublé de pouvoirs puissants. En France, la « start-up nation » en est la forme actuelle, censée assurer la croissance, créer de l’emploi, favoriser l’innovation, mais aussi et par un amalgame discutable, réduire le chômage, lutter contre la pauvreté et, ce faisant, permettre l’inclusion des populations fragilisées. Ainsi, les politiques publiques encouragent non seulement la création de firmes technologiquement innovantes, à fort potentiel de croissance et gourmandes en investissements, mais aussi une tout autre forme d’entrepreneuriat, qu’Alain Fayolle, professeur à l’EM Lyon Business School, décrit comme « la face cachée de l’entrepreneuriat » : ce sont les entrepreneurs par nécessité, « individus poussés à la création d’entreprise car ils ne perçoivent pas de meilleures alternatives d’emploi ».
These 20 Pictures Will Teach You More Than Reading 100 Books
The above image is my “Culture Wall,” created by GapingVoid, a company that helps people design their organizational culture. The art is done by Hugh MacLeod, who has drawn pictures for books by Seth Godin and many other influential individuals and companies. This Culture Wall is intended to create an environment that continually reminds me of what I stand for and what I aspire toward. This Culture Wall surrounds me as I work. According to Jason Korman, the CEO of GapingVoid, art can be used as “cultural artifacts” that act as triggers. But even more, they create a shared vision, set of beliefs, expectations, and direction for desired behavior.
What is Imago Relationship Therapy? - Imago Professional Site
Developed by Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt in 1980, Imago Relationship Therapy is a form of relationship and couples therapy that focuses on relational counseling to transform any conflict between couples into opportunities for healing and growth. The Latin word “imago”—meaning “image”—refers to the “unconscious image of familiar love.” What we find is that there is frequently a connection between frustrations in adult relationships and early childhood experiences. As an example, individuals frequently criticized as a child will likely be highly sensitive to their partner’s criticism.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
When you suffer, you naturally want to get away from the suffering– be done with it, get rid of it, or overcome it. It is a natural response because you feel constantly overwhelmed. The “getting rid of” response, though, is a dissociative response and serves to keep in place the very pain that you want to avoid. When emotional residue stays unresolved in your body and mind, it is because there is the constant movement of one part of you towards its opposite part; that is, from the avoidance of pain towards wanting to compensate for that pain or escape from it through pleasure.
What’s missing in leadership development?
Only a few actions matter, and they require the CEO’s attention. Organizations have always needed leaders who are good at recognizing emerging challenges and inspiring organizational responses. That need is intensifying today as leaders confront, among other things, digitization, the surging power of data as a competitive weapon, and the ability of artificial intelligence to automate the workplace and enhance business performance. These technology-driven shifts create an imperative for most organizations to change, which in turn demands more and better leaders up and down the line. Unfortunately, there is overwhelming evidence that the plethora of services, books, articles, seminars, conferences, and TED-like talks purporting to have the answers—a global industry estimated to be worth more than $50 billion—are delivering disappointing results. Focus on the shifts that matter
Boosting Performance Through Organization Design
Effective Use of Shared Services Companies able to move transaction-heavy administrative functions from individual business units to centralized shared services are more than twice as likely as their competitors to become top performers. Seventy-four percent of our respondents outsource shared-service operations from divisions or business units to dedicated centers. They use shared-service centers for IT (68% of respondents), finance and accounting (58%), human resources (52%), procurement (38%), legal services (32%), communication and marketing (29%), and real estate services (26%).

My Favorite Thought Exercise: Fear-Setting
I do an exercise called “fear-setting” at least once a quarter, often once a month. It is the most powerful exercise I do. Fear-setting has produced my biggest business and personal successes, as well as repeatedly helped me to avoid catastrophic mistakes.
PTSD Reenactment
PTSD Projection is mostly an unconscious process, and it can take considerable time to become fully aware of it, as it is often so woven into the structure of our character, that we perceive it as being normal. Projection does lead to the reenactment of emotional patterns. What this means is that the emotional hardships (trauma) that you experienced earlier in life are repeated. The circumstances and the people involved might be different but the emotional content is the same, or it’s opposite, which is, by reflection, similar.
How Elon Musk learns quicker and better than anyone else
How is it even possible that Elon Musk could build four multibillion companies by his mid-40s — in four separate fields (software, energy, transportation, and aerospace)? To explain Musk’s success, others have pointed to his heroic work ethic (he regularly works 85-hour weeks), his ability to set reality-distorting visions for the future, and his incredible resilience. But all of these felt unsatisfactory to me. Plenty of people have these traits. I wanted to know what he did differently. As I kept reading dozens of articles, videos, and books about Musk, I noticed a huge piece of the puzzle was missing.
