Comment on Kicking Off the Project Team by Gina

Hello Sameer,

I agree. It is important to get the virtual team together with the internal team so that they get to know each other. This makes it easier for the team to work together more effectively as they develop a level of comfort.

Thanks for your comment!

Best regards,
Gina

Gina
I would suggest if the projects are to be executed for all Clients to hold kickoff meetings with the internal team and virtual team if any as by my previous practice that will get the team prepared with the Tel conference even if the business will be more active FACE TO FACE

Thanks for your ideas

Comment on When a Strength is No Longer a Strength by Betty

Thanks for your comment, David. You might want to check out this book, its a fairly brief and accessible read.

I realize this premise will not be appealing to strong proponents of a strengths-based approach and positive psychology. I am actually a supporter of positive psychology and cognizant of the value in building upon one’s strengths. The primary argument here is that ignoring weaknesses will not make them go away, no matter how strong your strengths become, and they can be significant obstacles to success. Therefore, it is prudent to address both strengths and liabilities.

If you do get a chance to read the book I would love to hear your critique. Thanks for reading my post and giving your perspective. – Betty

Betty,

Great post. I hadn’t heard of this book and I’d love to check it out.

However, I couldn’t disagree more with the premise of the book. First of all, the idea of fixing weaknesses isn’t new. We’ve been encouraging people to overcome their flaws and become well-rounded for years. What has it gotten us? How has it helped people to succeed?

The positive psychology movement began because the former system wasn’t working. This book isn’t necessary. Most people are still trying to fix their flaws and be more balanced. There isn’t an over-abundance of people trying to build their strengths.

Hello David,

Thank you for your support of the post and the contribution of the model. I agree completely with your statement! Given the economy situation and how employees, customers, etc. have been feeling – we have lots of work ahead and many challenges – all good – in employee engagement! I have spoken with quite a few clients lately who are seeing the need to make employee engagement a key component within the organization. This is wonderful!

Best regards,
Gina

Thanks for such a positive and accurate view of my work on engagement and the wonderful contributions of the employee engagement network to the workplace. I trust we have all just begun in ways and have a tremendous decade ahead to improve the workplace for employees, owners, customer, etc.
