Walter H Groth: Thoughts on Leadership: February 2015

http://dynect.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Thursday, February 26, 2015. Varoufakthis or Negotiating the Greek Way. Since January 26th, 2015 Greece has a new Government. A Government promising a radical new way of fighting the debt crisis of Greece. And the showdown with the Euro Group was started immediately. Why is it that every time we pick up the phone some Troika jerk tells us they want their money back? When we ain’t got none. C’mon Yanis, Varoufakthis! C’mon Yanis, Varoufakthis! Knowing how to negotiate is essential for any leader. Unde...

http://dynect.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Thursday, September 25, 2014. 21st Century Leaders and What’s Expected from Them. Nothing is as it was before. As it used to be, the good old times. The only constant is change. Yet,. Is just a mild expression of what leaders of the 21st century are facing. It goes way beyond. Prisoners of the Past. 8216;complicated system’. Decisions are based on predictive forecasts on how the system would evolve in certain given scenarios. 8216;stuffing as much knowledge of the past as possible into their brains’.

Walter H Groth: Thoughts on Leadership: November 2013

http://dynect.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html

Thursday, November 21, 2013. On Leadership Teams (and teams in general) - The Haka Moment. The notion “team”. Over all these many years has become extremely widespread. Wherever you look you will see teams. Being it in manufacturing, in sales, in design, . you name it . teams are everywhere. And of course there are management teams and leadership teams. Unfortunately, the true meaning of “team” and the spirit behind it, within it, has become diluted, sometimes even completely lost. These three dealership...

Thursday, October 09, 2014. Leaders and Critical Thinking. Critical thinking is possibly the most important faculty a leader must master, must excel in it. And nowadays it’s more important than ever. 8216;new piece of information’. And call it study. Or research. And some aren’t even flinching from creating doctorate theses that way. What you are up against as a leader. As a leader you are flooded by. 8216;new information’. 8216;Big Data’. 8216;service providers’. 8216;consulting companies’. An enormous ...

Walter H Groth: Thoughts on Leadership: May 2014

http://dynect.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Thursday, May 29, 2014. The Kind of Leader You Want and Why You Should Care. Have you ever asked yourself what kind of leader you want? Did you ever think about it? What would it be? Over time I have asked these questions. I have asked my teams what each one of them wanted. I have asked people from other teams, people in other organizations. In different countries. And every time I asked it seemed to be the first time that people consciously thought about it. Someone who genuinely cares about us. Who...

Walter H Groth: Thoughts on Leadership: December 2014

http://dynect.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Thursday, December 18, 2014. Leaders and the ‘Language of the Privileged Few’. It happens everywhere. It happens all the time. From Politicians all the way over to leaders of companies and organizations. It happens in meetings. It happens in conferences. Leaders are using. 8216;the language of the privileged few’. Quite bluntly put using the language to. 8216;making the audience feel stupid’. Selling stuff no one needs or has ever asked for. Language is used as a. 8216;means to an end’. Using words and e...

Walter H Groth: Thoughts on Leadership: January 2014

http://dynect.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Monday, January 06, 2014. On System Operators and Leaders. Leaders wanted. A system operator is a person who operates and maintains a given system. Think about that for a moment, think about, taking this as a metaphor. How often does that happen in organizations / businesses. Think about it: how often some of these companies are “flown into the ground” by “system operators” in leadership positions. It sounds simple, but it makes all the difference between living or crashing: Fly The Airplane! The notion ...

Walter H Groth: Thoughts on Leadership: Understanding Matters

http://dynect.blogspot.com/2015/03/understanding-matters.html

Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Day after day we are inundated with an unbelievable amount of 'information junk'. Opinions are raised and declared to be facts lacking even the most basic data substantiating their claims. You see that in the press, in the news, in talk shows. It happens in meetings,. Kim Kardashian distilled that to its very essence: tweeting a selfie of her bare ass is worth more than a thousand words, or a zillion clicks and likes. And maybe that's more entertaining than listening to the b...
