TEAMWORK TEAMWORK AND COMBAT VEHICLES
Two Israeli academics performed the following experiment with the crew of army tanks in their country. Soldiers classified a drive of about two hundred people according to their performance (high and low) through tests that measured their intelligence individual, their level of formal education, knowledge of the Hebrew language and the characterization of a interview. then formed teams of three people, who were required to run such a model tank, combining the performance. The four possibilities for the team were: High-high-high, low-low-low high-high-low low-low-high. And measured results.
work inside the armored car where they did the experiment was extremely procedimento. There was little margin for creativity, so a priori, we expected that there were no differences in the performance of the four types of equipment. However, it was not.
The best team was the one who had the combination high-high-high. But most surprising was the discovery that their performance was well above expectations. On the Conversely, the worst team was the one who had the combination low-low-low and the result was well below expectations. And yet they found more surprises: poor performance When someone went into a team where the other two partners had a high performance, he was struggling more and increased performance. However, when someone was considered high throughput performance with two more low down performance considerably. Ultimately, the interaction has a considerable weight in our talent, including some very Procedures. All this reflects what the saying goes: "Tell me and I'll tell you who you are", which in the case of the organization (and life) would be: "Tell me who you and tell you how much you will develop your talent (or what you are going to help the other fellow)" .

THE triumph of mediocrity
side effects of the current crisis is revealing the best of people and unfortunately also the worst. If until recently as only a few months, said the talent and innovation were a priority in the business office with slogans papering ad hoc , at the present time in which things are getting harder every day is surfacing other behaviors: innovation in many teams has been parked by the fear of failure, the mere possibility of challenging the boss puts us hairs like hooks and of course, any attempt to highlight is conveniently hidden.
Why are not competitive?, many times I've asked and I think it should on the one hand our aversion to change and the other to that too many organizations are run by people who are afraid of talent despite what their corporate departments to endeavor to say the opposite in the forums or in sites . Gary Hamel in his book "The Future of Management" ( highly recommended, incidentally) explains how highly successful companies as Google , Whole Foods (organic supermarket) or Gore & Associates (the makers of Gore-Tex) are leaders in their respective markets because implanted revolutionary politics. The remuneration of the teams in Whole Foods is based on the results compared with the rest of the supermarket chain. This requires that when a new staff team selects criteria to do so with "Deportivo Transfers" choosing talented people. In Gore & Associates general director was appointed by popular vote. And Google is capable of innovation policy rethink management of an organization as a whole.
Of course, not all organizations are alike, nor the managers who manage them. Some companies extraordinary and exemplary leadership, but there is a dark reality, which we do not always like to talk, to which many people and show the opposite what they preach some CEOs or presidents. There are companies which only seeks to maintain the status quo, laugh thank the boss and avoid any negative opinion. And unfortunately, in a time of crisis like the present, we are missing a golden opportunity to change outdated systems based on power (without added value) and / or fear (without a shred of talent). Transparency (defined as knowing who contributes what) is one of the best recipes, which implies the courage of the manager who takes him out. And if it does not you can follow any bright people, they may even dismiss (know as many sad examples of them and even in my personal experience CEOs who "fear" question a director of area "For The Angry" Although this aware of the poor results generated proceeds of their decisions ... ... ... ..), today "The Friends Club "is even more prevalent in organizations y. ....... will triumph of mediocrity that makes us so much harm, both business and social level.

it wasn't my idea was just that it is always lost too much time on technologies that are mastered. always forgot the keys and was too late to go back. always thought that the barriers of time were possible to break if you were a little faster, if I fall behind both the labial and the memories that I return it as individual pages to try to catch because the wind carries them away. in that I spend my life, turning and arranging the same three flowers to see which side I wear them, playing with the chambrita, tweezers, trying to remember the track and losing 32 minutes of my life in such fruitless duties. going privately brown crema untandome, washing dirty dishes and closing the doors, drinking cherry juice as I like my little juices from the cherry. this time it escapes me. this time one plus one is dos.
What It Is. isn't it. Serenity i remember that day.
i remember that day with joy. with something so alive inside of me that the pure memory of it just comes to life again. i thought it would never fade. i thought it would never change because how could it?, grow because it was too big, unroll because everything was already displayed, evolve because it just was perfect as it was, dissappear because that would be the impossible.
everything dies. i guess i will go down with this ship. the seed and the caterpillar and the fucking leftovers.
