Building Your Vision 2020 Part 4 – with John Eldert and Howard Teibel

admin — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 15:00:25 +0000

Academic planning often adopts the business approach to strategic planning. The results are predictable: clear, measurable outcomes; tight, pithy vision statement; focused strategy targeting a clear and “directable” organizational culture. But these assumptions don’t fit the higher education planning environment, with many parallel lines of activity, complex vision, and an environment that is often far more self-directed. This week on the show, we bring you part four of our conversation with John Eldert, Vice President of Administration at Berklee College of Music as he joins Howard Teibel to discuss their work on adapting the business approach to strategic planning for higher education.

In this episode, Howard Teibel and Pete Wright outline those rules and provide suggestions for all who are plagued with ineffective meeting-itis on how to spark the right team behaviors and get back on track.

admin — Mon, 10 May 2010 16:00:15 +0000

Walk into your next management meeting and tell your team that you think they need to learn to sell better, you’re likely to feel a chill enter the room. Sales has a tough reputation inside organizations. And yet, so many core skills from the art of selling apply perfectly to the interactions we engage in day to day.

This week on the show, Howard Teibel and Pete Wright discuss how we are always selling something, whether it’s a project idea, a need for partnerships among business units, or influencing a group to buy into a new direction. Selling is ultimately about listening, then conveying how your idea meets another’s need. It’s about great communication and negotiating skills, something all of us can continue to improve on.
