Want to Be More Self-Aware? Build a Better Team

Image
Audrey Epstein Shares Five-steps To Increase Your Leadership Awareness Image through Pablo by Buffer By Audrey Epstein There are lots of compelling reasons to build a better team. Great teams: Deliver stronger results faster Are more innovative Challenge you to learn more quickly and be at your best Are simply more fun Recently, I found a new reason to build a better team – because most of us are surprisingly unself-aware. Researcher and author Tasha Eurich uncovered this disturbing statistic through her multi-year study on the topic of self-awareness: about  95%  of us think we are quite self-aware, but only about 10% to 15% of us actually are! So how can better teams help with self-awareness? Here’s the important connection. We need feedback to help match our internal view of ourselves with the external view. And on the best teams, not only are teammates willing to provide feedback to each other, they are required to. On high-performin

The Global Search for Education: I Believe I Can Grow "The important thing for parents and educators is to focus children on their learning process.

Humpday Must See: GREAT ESCAPE AT DUNKIRK

PBS Premieres Great Escape At Dunkirk on NOVA tonight Photo courtesy of PBS/NOVA As France fell to the German armies in May 1940, 300,000 Allied troops were trapped on the beaches of Dunkirk. Their annihilation seemed certain—a disaster that could have led to Britain’s surrender. But then, in a last-minute rescue dramatized in Christopher Nolan’s recent film, Royal Navy ships and a flotilla of tiny civilian boats evacuated hundreds of thousands of soldiers to safety across the Channel—the legendary “miracle of Dunkirk.” Now, NOVA follows a team of archaeologists, historians, and divers as they recover the remains of ships, planes, and personal effects lost during the epic operation.

Study dispels notion that social media displaces human contact #socialmedia

"I’m trying to push back on the popular conception of how this works,” Hall said. “That’s not to say overuse of social media is good, but it’s not bad in the way people think it is." - Jeffrey Hall Debunking displacement effect LAWRENCE - Echoing concerns that grew with the Internet itself a decade earlier, the rise of social media has stoked fears of "social displacement" - the alienation of people from friends and family in favor of Facebook and Twitter. A new study co-authored by a University of Kansas researcher goes a fair distance toward debunking that notion. “It was not the case at all that social media adoption or use had a consistent effect on their direct social interactions with people.” - Jeffrey Hall

The Countries Ranked Best in Privacy Laws

BestVPN.org  ranks which countries ranked best in privacy laws Courtesy of bestvpn.org By Alex Grant The last year has seen some disheartening changes in the legal and geopolitical realm as far as privacy is concerned. Countries like Russia and China have enacted a number of privacy-invasive laws. Others like the UK and the U.S. have chosen to dismantle laws meant to protect civil rights and freedoms. A recent index of  the best countries for privacy  ranks crisis-devastated Greece much higher than America, based on fourteen criteria spanning laws, technology, and democratic safeguards. But the bitter news comes as no surprise. As the year started, the U.S. Congress passed a law that extended extremely invasive and unconstitutional NSA surveillance powers. The signed bill – S. 139 – reauthorized Section 702, a part of the FISA Amendments Act used by the NSA to justify its unrestricted, warrantless collection of Petabytes of chats, text messages, emails, and browsing hi
