Internet Distraction

Since we have a new book we are waisting time with a new blog. We are filming instead of drawing. But keeping up the pace of at least two posts a month, we present you a nice chart – seen on Rene Fischer’s Blog Streaming Minds. (Original: David McCandless, Informationisbeautiful.net)

High potentials

personality-, social-, leading- and professional potential

We are tired. We don’t have any smart ideas. So we read books. Something we found: Ask yourself and your co-workers to give you a feedback (on a scale from 1-10) regarding…

1. ability to learn
2. ability to cope with pressure/stress
3. abilitiy to interact with other people/co-workers
4. having a optimistic attitude, that things are feasible
5. good resource manager
6. role model for the others
7. entrepreneur
8. seeing things from a helicopter perspective (overview)

Are you a high potential for your company?

Shark watching vs. shark touching

If you still don’t know what to do in your last week of vacation this summer we have some ultimate last-minute-holiday-trip-ideas fo you:

Until death do us apart

Here is another matrix we found in Integriertes Personal-Management (Luchterhand 2008) by Martin Hilb. It is about the loyality of employees. It shows what companies should be careful about if they don’t want to end up with a hire-and-fire reputation.

Let’s take a look at love. It’s the same principle, with a twist.

Until death do us apart

The axis „story told“ illustrates your partner’s perspective. But it also shows the position and values of your social (and religious) environment. If you prefer to read it from a society’s point of view you have to replace the sentences:

• „I want to stay“ = „I have to stay“
• „Well it’s complicated!“ = „I give a damn’ what people say!“

The axis „story lived“ shows what you think what your partner feels about being with you.

The action speaks louder than words?

Action speaks louder than words?

True? Neither do we like people who simply are talking about what they could do nor do we like people that are too actionoriented. Again: It’s all about the balance of thinking, speaking, doing (and of course we dislike people demanding this balance). However Martin Hilb describes the role of employees within a company in his book Integriertes Personal-Management (Luchterhand) and speaks about human co-entrepreneurs as employees with „a cool head, a warm heart and working hands“.

• rare bird/fish: develops only visions without action = illusions
• inner resignation: people without any ambition (work-to-rule)
• grey mouse: works furiously without knowing why
• human co-entrepreneur: high social competence, high responsability in decision-making and high organizational skills.

My New BFF

A couple of days ago I was cleaning up my appartement. I mean REALLY clean it, not just on the surface like our cleaning lady does (our cleaning lady is a man in fact). I loved the feeling of this kind of purification. So I went on to the archive of my existence, my green wooden treasure trunk. That’s where I keep my diaries, old pictures (yes, prints!), notes and slips from teenage years and backstage passes from concert I can’t remember. Going through all these memories I tried to remember all my friends I have had and have throughout my life. The list grew bigger and bigger. So I started to put them in an order in a meaningful and in some completley strange ways. I have to admit: It tells more about myself than about my friends. So here are some ideas how you can sort your old, young, new and forgotten friendships – at least on paper. This would be useful for Paris Hilton in her TV show My New BFF. (Post from RT)

Who is my friend?
