| 2a9fb23 | The Three Signs of a Miserable Job, Patrick Lencioni describes brilliantly three reasons individuals disengage from work. 1. Anonymity: They feel their leaders don't know or care what they are doing. 2. Irrelevance: They don't understand how their job makes a difference. 3. Immeasurement: They cannot measure or assess for themselves the contribution they are making.21 | Chris McChesney | ||
| d7598ce | The most important action that a leader must take to encourage the building of trust on a team is to demonstrate vulnerability first. This requires that a leader risk losing face in front of the team, so that subordinates will take the same risk themselves. What is more, team leaders must create an environment that does not punish vulnerability. | Patrick Lencioni | ||
| 3bd82a8 | The healthier an organization is, the more of its intelligence it is able to tap into and use. Most organizations exploit only a fraction of the knowledge, experience, and intellectual capital that is available to them. But the healthy ones tap into almost all of it. | Patrick Lencioni | ||
| 95b6aa1 | we always have team members go back to their direct reports and share their profile information. This serves three purposes. First, it provides a great opportunity for demonstrating vulnerability with their subordinates. Second, it gives those subordinates real insights into their leaders, so that they'll feel more comfortable providing feedback and interpreting behavior correctly. Third, it helps the executives develop a better understandi.. | Patrick Lencioni | ||
| 39c3d9f | Trust is the foundation of teamwork. * On a team, trust is all about vulnerability, which is difficult for most people. * Building trust takes time, but the process can be greatly accelerated. * Like a good marriage, trust on a team is never complete; it must be maintained over time. | Patrick Lencioni | ||
| d3ac1e3 | When people who don't trust one another engage in passionate debate, they are trying to win the argument. They aren't usually listening to the other person's ideas and then reconsidering their point of view; they're figuring out how to manipulate the conversation to get what they want. | Patrick Lencioni | ||
| 6cbc1ee | If team members are never pushing one another outside of their emotional comfort zones during discussions, then it is extremely likely that they're not making the best decisions for the organization. | Patrick Lencioni | ||
| 58366b0 | Because when a team recovers from an incident of destructive conflict, it builds confidence that it can survive such an event, which in turn builds trust. | Patrick Lencioni | ||
| 5daa374 | Once organizational health is properly understood and placed into the right context, it will surpass all other disciplines in business as the greatest opportunity for improvement and competitive advantage. | culture | Patrick Lencioni | |
| f9095d8 | Patrick Lencioni's book Getting Naked: A Business Fable About Shedding the Three Fears That Sabotage Client Loyalty. When it comes to client loyalty, Lencioni found that by being completely transparent and vulnerable with customers, service providers like coaches and consultants can build surprisingly resilient levels of trust and loyalty. So what's stopping you and me from being more vulnerable with our coaching clients? One word. Fear. Le.. | Brent O'Bannon | ||
| 3c2baf2 | A healthy organization is one that has less politics and confusion, higher morale and productivity, lower unwanted turnover, and lower recruiting costs than an unhealthy one. | Patrick Lencioni | ||
| 71fce47 | Most organizations exploit only a fraction of the knowledge, experience, and intellectual capital that is available to them. But the healthy ones tap into almost all of it. That, as much as anything else, is why they have such an advantage over their unhealthy competitors. | Patrick Lencioni | ||
| 8570486 | What is the single most important behavioral characteristic or quality demonstrated by this person that contributes to the strength of our team? | Patrick Lencioni | ||
| a7c3f51 | No quality or characteristic is more important than trust. | Patrick Lencioni | ||
| c5cf4e6 | When it comes to teams, trust is all about vulnerability. Team members who trust one another learn to be comfortable being open, even exposed, to one another around their failures, weaknesses, even fears. | Patrick Lencioni | ||
| 589e2ea | Patrick Lencioni's The Five Dysfunctions of a Team2 write | Camille Fournier | ||
| f204d9c | More than any policy or system, there is nothing like the fear of letting down respected teammates that motivates people to improve their performance. | Patrick Lencioni | ||
| eed18c2 | teams, because they are made up of imperfect human beings, are inherently dysfunctional. | Patrick Lencioni | ||
| 7fbc534 | Teams that are willing to commit publicly to specific results are more likely to work with a passionate, even desperate desire to achieve those results. Teams that say, "We'll do our best," are subtly, if not purposefully, preparing themselves for failure." | Patrick Lencioni | ||

| dbe0316 | When it comes to your career, you want to strive to become the type of person Patrick Lencioni describes in his book The Ideal Team Player: someone who is hungry (a motivated go-getter), humble (knows who they are and what they bring to the table), and smart (expertly manages relationships). Isn't that the kind of person you want to work with? | Chris Hogan | ||
| 1020b32 | The only way for people to embrace a message is to hear it over a period of time, in a variety of different situations, and preferably from different people. That's why great leaders see themselves as Chief Reminding Officers as much as anything else. Their top two priorities are to set the direction of the organization and then to ensure that people are reminded of it on a regular basis. | Patrick Lencioni | ||

| 9920dcb | One way for progressives to counter such hidden agendas is to discuss them openly. We need to get beyond how conservatives are framing the issues publicly and point out their real goals. And | George Lakoff | ||
| 6bc25a8 | On the other hand, there are far more "Democrats" than there are self-proclaimed "liberals." So Republicans are almost always better off downplaying their partisan affiliation and playing up their ideology, while Democrats are better off citing their party identity than they are their liberalism. The relative paucity of self-described "liberals" is one of the reasons George Lakoff and others have argued so strongly for the re-branding of "l.. | Frank Luntz | ||
| 5af5b10 | I am not one who believes that killing yourself is necessarily a coward's way out. It is my belief that a body'd have to be in a lot of pain in order to think a death the likes of was preferable to breathing in the air of one more morning." -From "Matthew in the Morning" | Gary A. Braunbeck | ||
| 75ae54a | The funny thing is," she said, "that I still love him. I don't want to--he butchered my mother and my little brother, then blew his own head off--but I still find that, when I think about him, I still feel some love. Pathetic, isn't it?" | Gary A. Braunbeck | ||
| 6b717ab | My father was a man of iron will. He had a red beard and eyes like caves. He married my mother sensibly for the triple joy of her widowhood, the three estates, but he was concerned - as an English country gentleman and an epitome of the chivalric virtues - with the making of a son. Having heard well of the giant's child-inspiring powers, my father takes my mother by the hand and leads her up to him the night before their wedding. It had bee.. | Robert Nye | ||
| 3f2065f | Because I personally met astronomer and Nobel laureate Robert Wilson, I very much enjoyed reminding the audience of his discovery, in conjunction with Arno Penzias, of cosmic microwave background radiation. In the 1960s, the two of them found that the whole sky is glowing, which is exactly what cosmologists who worked on the theory of the Big Bang had predicted. I asked also how we could observe stars that are farther away than 6,000 light-.. | Bill Nye | ||

| e7b8a60 | A man needs many things in his life to make it bearable. A good woman. Sons and daughters. Comradeship. Warmth. Food and shelter. But above all these things, he needs to be able to know that he is a man. | David Gemmell | ||

| 29bc8c1 | Man alone, it seems, lives all his life in the knowledge of death. And yet there is more to life than merely waiting for death. For life to have meaning, there must be a purpose. A man must pass something on--otherwise he is useless. "For most men that purpose revolves around marriage and children" | David Gemmell | ||
| 9fa0773 | Fra tutti i dolori che ho conosciuto non ce n'e mai stato nessuno grande come la sofferenza di sapere che esso sara senza di me, e tuttavia ti ho amata e non cambierei un solo giorno. E se per qualche miracolo mi fosse concesso di tornare al passato e di corteggiarti di nuovo, lo rifarei anche avendo la certezza che tutto finira ancora nello stesso modo. | fantasy-series | David Gemmell | |

| bb04bf9 | My dear Hogun, when a woman is beautiful, she comes to expect a certain--how shall I say?--a certain reverence from men. You should have had the good grace to be thunderstruck by her beauty. Stunned into silence or, better still, into a babbling fool. Then she would have merely ignored you and answered your devotion with arrogant disdain. Now you have slighted her, and she will hate you. Worse than this, she will do all in her power to win .. | David Gemmell |
