Steve Hassan joined the Unification Church – better known as the Moonies – when he was 19, and was cited as a model member by its founder, Reverend Sun Myung Moon. He was intensely dedicated and loyal, sleeping only three to four hours a night as he tried to fulfill all that was asked of him, when he feel asleep at the wheel of a Moonie van and drove into a tractor trailer, nearly killing himself. He called his sister from his hospital bed, and his family decided to "deprogram" him, wiping away the emotional and mental ties he had built to the organization. He went along with them, since he knew he wasn't brainwashed and wanted to prove to them that his efforts on behalf of the church were worthwhile.

Probably not, but Silicon Valley tech companies have used this method of transportation to keep their workers isolated from the rest of the world. And as they bind their employees closer together, workers are significantly less likely to leave. Wikipedia-Mining Algorithm Reveals World’s Most Influential Universities Where are the world’s most influential universities? That’s a question that increasingly dominates the way the public, governments, and funding agencies think about research and higher education. The problem, of course, is that it’s hard to produce an objective ranking of almost anything, let alone universities.
How Recognize and Avoid Groupthink Groupthink is a term first used in 1972 by social psychologist Irving L. Janis that refers to a psychological phenomenon in which people strive for consensus within a group. In many cases, people will set aside their own personal beliefs or adopt the opinion of the rest of the group. People who are opposed to the decisions or overriding opinion of the group as a whole frequently remain quiet, preferring to keep the peace rather than disrupt the uniformity of the crowd. Understanding It Best of 2015: Wikipedia-Mining Algorithm Reveals World’s Most Influential Universities Where are the world’s most influential universities? That’s a question that increasingly dominates the way the public, governments, and funding agencies think about research and higher education. The problem, of course, is that it’s hard to produce an objective ranking of almost anything, let alone universities. Cultural, historical, and geographical factors can all influence these rankings in ways that are hard to quantify. So an independent way of producing a ranking that avoids these controversies would be widely welcomed. Today, we get such a ranking thanks to the work of Jose Lages at the University of Franche-Comte in France and a few pals.
8 Signs You're an Introvert Introversion is a personality trait characterized by a focus on internal feelings rather than on external sources of stimulation. Introverts and extroverts are often viewed in terms of two extreme opposites, but the truth is that most people lie somewhere in the middle. While introverts make up an estimated 25 to 40 percent of the population, there are still many misconceptions about this personality type. It is also important to note that introversion is not the same things as social anxiety or shyness. The Trickle-Down Effect of Good (and Bad) Leadership We know that emotions are contagious. Research by UC San Diego’s James Fowler and Harvard’s Nicholas Christakis has shown that happiness is contagious, for example. If you have a friend who is happy, the probability that you will be happier rises by 25%.
What Are the Big 5 Personality Traits? Many contemporary personality psychologists believe that there are five basic dimensions of personality, often referred to as the "Big 5" personality traits. The five broad personality traits described by the theory are extraversion (also often spelled extroversion), agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism. Trait theories of personality have long attempted to pin down exactly how many personality traits exist. Earlier theories have suggested a various number of possible traits, including Gordon Allport's list of 4,000 personality traits, Raymond Cattell's 16 personality factors, and Hans Eysenck's three-factor theory.
Creating Layers of Competency In this era of lean staffs and resources and “do more with less,” it might seem unnecessary to reaffirm the importance of identifying learning priorities. Yet, it wasn’t that long ago that learning functions operated with very different paradigms. Recall the “tidal wave” training where the same learning washed over the entire staff, or the learning and development “grocery store” where employees or their supervisors selected any learning that looked appealing, such as location or convenient timing. In 2016, thousands of organizations have incorporated competencies into their learning and development efforts. Competencies focus development efforts, and more broadly they fuel every element of talent management, including staffing: onboarding, career development, succession, promotion and transition/termination. Competencies are the foundation of integrated talent management.
10 Questions to Test Your Career Adaptability – Career Relaunch The future of work and careers is… disconcerting. And sort of exciting. The scope of job functions, where work is conducted, how work is performed and the ways that workers are managed are being re-imagined daily. The nature of work itself is changing. How about taking a shot at defining the word career? Maybe it’s now just a succession of contracts or temporary jobs, to accommodate shrinking product and service lifecycles, a job-hopping mentality, and companies that appear and disappear ever more quickly. 6 Things Successful Leaders Do Differently Great leadership can be a difficult thing to pin down and understand. You know a great leader when you’re working for one, but even they can have a hard time articulating what it is that makes their leadership so effective.
