Καθηγητής Οργανωσιακής Συμπεριφοράς & Διοίκησης Ανθρώπινου Δυναμικού
Martin Seligman, the father of positive psychology, theorizes that while 60 percent of happiness is determined by our genetics and environment, the remaining 40 percent is up to us.

Όταν τα παιδιά του ThinkBiz μου πρότειναν να γράψω ένα guest post με θέμα την ομάδα ενός start-up, μου έγραψαν χαρακτηριστικά «πως το καλύτερο άτομο για να το γράψει είναι ένας blogger καθηγητής οργανωσιακής συμπεριφοράς»… Ιδιαίτερα τιμητικό (και τους ευχαριστώ πολύ), αλλά πράγματι δεν ξέρω καθόλου αν είμαι ο πιο κατάλληλος να γράψω για κάτι τέτοιο. Δεν έχω και καμία σχέση με start-ups (αν και παρακολουθώ από κοντά τον χώρο, είναι η αλήθεια) και ως πανεπιστημιακός περνάω τις περισσότερες ώρες της ημέρας μόνος μου, διαβάζοντας (όταν δεν έχω μάθημα φυσικά!). Οπότε δεν θα με χαρακτήριζα και το πιο ομαδικό άτομο…
Από την άλλη όμως ξέρω πολύ καλά και γι’ αυτό θα πω μερικά πραγματάκια σχετικά με το τι λέει η επιστημονική έρευνα σχετικά με αυτό θέμα (btw αν θέλετε μια πιο πρακτική άποψη, δείτε μια σχετική παρουσίαση του Νίκου Μωραϊτάκη, CEO της πολύ επιτυχημένης και Ελληνικής Workable). Ελπίζω να σας φανούν χρήσιμα:
Η ομαδική εργασία είναι συχνά μία από τις μεγαλύτερες χαρές που θα βιώσει ένας εργαζόμενος μιας startup. Για να λειτουργήσει όμως προς όφελος όλων χρειάζεται προσοχή και συνεχή ενασχόληση για την ανάπτυξη και καλλιέργεια ομαδικών ικανοτήτων μεταξύ των μελών της ομάδας.

Don’t let a work gap cause you to miss a good candidate.
A couple of interesting studies examined the extent of discrimination against the unemployed. These studies are unusual in that they involved real efforts to find real jobs. One created 3,000 pretend candidates and sent their resumes to a random sample of job openings. They varied one item among otherwise identical applications: whether the individual was currently unemployed and, if so, how long they had been unemployed.
Only about 4.5% got callbacks, which suggests that the typical unemployed applicant has to apply to a little more than 20 jobs to just get a positive response from an employer indicating that they are still being considered for the job.

The difference between winners and losers is how they handle losing.
That’s a key finding from my ongoing research on great companies and effective leaders: no one can completely avoid troubles and potential pitfalls are everywhere, so the real skill is the resilience to climb out of the hole and bounce back.
Volatile times bring disruptions, interruptions, and setbacks, even for the most successful among us. Companies at the top of the heap still have times when they are blindsided by a competing product and must play catch-up. Sports teams that win regularly are often behind during the game. Writers can face dozens of rejections before finding a publisher that puts them on the map. Some successful politicians get caught with their pants down (so to speak) and still go on to lead, although such self-inflicted wounds are harder to heal.
Resilience is the ability to recover from fumbles or outright mistakes and bounce back. But flexibility alone is not enough. You have to learn from your errors. Those with resilience build on the cornerstones of confidence — accountability (taking responsibility and showing remorse), collaboration (supporting others in reaching a common goal), and initiative (focusing on positive steps and improvements). As outlined in my book Confidence, these factors underpin the resilience of people, teams, and organizations that can stumble but resume winning.

You’ve been there. You’re up late one night trolling job boards and in between travel ads the perfect job opportunity appears. You hear the heavenly hosts cheering you on and rush to update your resume.
But before you add your latest and greatest skills and accomplishments, your brain interrupts with the job seeker debate: Should your resume be one page or two?
