Casual Articles - Competition - The Revolution That Creates A Legacy
Legend has it that Pablo Picasso was sketching in the park when a bold woman approached him. “It’s you — Picasso, the great artist! Oh, you must sketch my portrait! I insist.” So Picasso agreed to sketch her. After studying her for a moment, he used a single pencil stroke to create her portrait. He handed the women his work of art. “It’s perfect!” she gushed. “You managed to capture my essence with one stroke, in one moment. Thank you! How much do I owe you?” “Five tho
The personal shift in our view of competition comes from having you look at your entire life, not just the business side. It is triggered by the "work/life balance" movement, whose adherents in the world notice that as people re-engage with their families, they discover that who they are at work is not who they want to be in the rest of their life.

The curse of every hard working manager. Love or hate them, with geographically dispersed teams and travel restrictions, conference calls are here to stay as a communication medium in the workplace. If you want to stand out from your work colleauges, then follow these simple do’s and don’ts of effective conference calls. Here are my favourite conference call experiences; · a barking dog drowns out the key discussion point, bad enough, but the owner then starts shouting at his pet. · a thirsty caller uses the hold b
This revolution is a shift in the way we think about competition. This shift changes the way we work together and how we think of each other and our jobs. Instead of looking for ways to stop, hold back, or prevent something from happening, "positive competition" in the world looks for ways to make things work and solve problems in a win-win way.
This is the antithesis of the old "fear-based" thinking, because the focus is on becoming the highest and best you can be as an individual, and then evolves into being the highest and best you can be as a team.
Competition has been a characteristic of humanity throughout history. Teams play games to win, based on their skills, talent, and knowledge. Individuals compete against each other, as well as against their own best. It's a trait that has led to tremendous progress and, ultimately, to the evolution of humanity.
The negative or dark side of competition is the ruthlessness that is closely aligned with war (which has also characterized humanity. Hmmm.) It's the philosophy of "win at all costs" - gain an edge - cheat as necessary - "beat the other guy." Without the consideration of values, thinking through the highest and best of who you are at all times, and the greatest vision of your potential, the dark side of competition emerges.

Gentlemen: if you want to save your relationship, read this.George Foerst, Lighthouse Point, Florida inventor, was listening to a friend complain that her partner always forgot to put the seat and lid down after using the toilet. This ‘primordial act’ was perceived to be so irritating, this guy was going to be shown the communal door. George figured he could solve this, having himself lived on a boat at one time, having to use a marine toilet. He knew full well that his answer to this perennial problem might create a market for bo

How much of our career path is destiny and how much is free will? In my opinion, it is 50/50. We are given a life map at the beginning of our lives, and there are things we are meant to learn, people we are meant to meet, work we are meant to perform. But many of us are not tuned into ourselves and the signs that are presented to us. We often miss important information, and miss out on those lessons, people, and jobs.The use of free will comes about when we are presented with options. Choices are really curves in our path. We

Broadband Internet connections are changing the way people go to work. Imagine not having to sit in a traffic jam, and just getting up in the morning and starting to work from your computer at home. This is not science fiction. If you already have a fast Internet connection, all you need to do is add a web cam and some conferencing software and you can enjoy the benefits of telecommuting.If you are not sure how you can benefit by telecommuting and using web conferencing, consider these points:1. You can save time and money
The personal shift in our view of competition comes from having you look at your entire life, not just the business side. It is triggered by the "work/life balance" movement, whose adherents in the world notice that as people re-engage with their families, they discover that who they are at work is not who they want to be in the rest of their life. This means, without values and the broader community to remind those we coach, the dark side of competition drives them to actions that don't generate the legacy they want to leave.
An example of these interrelated dynamics is in order. John, a regional VP of a large firm, was concerned because two Executive Vice Presidents both wanted him on their team and were essentially fighting over him, a situation that instantly created the perception that there must be a "winner" and a "loser."
John wasn't willing to play that game, so he changed the rules, and thus the perception. He called a meeting with both EVPs and asked, "How can we make this a win for everyone? How can we make it easy for both of you to achieve your objectives by working together?"
With this shift in attitude a solution was easily found, and John was out of a potentially destructive situation. He is now sought out by other internal leaders to provide advice about their situations, making him a leader in the "positive competition" movement within his organization.
Conventional wisdom says that a company can't make significant changes unless it starts at the very top - and it certainly does help to have top management actively modeling this shift in competitive behavior. In many corporations you can notice incredible change filtering up from the mid-level, often beginning with the vision of a single individual. Leaders at mid-level have shifted from the Negative Competitive Mind (knocking down the other person) to the Positive Creative Mind (creating your own voice, finding your strengths, working cooperatively,
