"Speaking
at the Entrepreneurship and Leadership Summit at the
Institute of Directors in November 2005, Nationwide
Commercial and Communications Director Stuart Bernau
said that employee satisfaction has gone from 55 percent
in 1996 to 77 per cent in 2005, and that those teams
turning in the highest scores on PRIDE values were also
turning in the highest sales scores – in fact
there was almost a point for point relationship. So
values make good business sense."
"What
ever style of leadership an individual tends towards,
whether it varies situation by situation or stays fixed
over a period of time, the values that individual holds
dear will influence their behaviour and how they interpret
the world. Our company, Magma Effect™ Limited, works
with existing and emerging leaders in different settings
to enable those individuals to gain insight into the
things that motivate them and provide them with a sense
of meaning."
"Try this.
Fold your arms and take a few breaths.
Now unfold them and refold them the “wrong”
way and keep breathing! What do you notice?
Was it harder to fold them this way? Did you have to
think consciously about how to get them to fold the
wrong way? Does it feel comfortable?"
