This episode of Enterprise Radio is in association with the Author Channel.
Listen to interview with host Eric Dye & guest Melissa Swift discuss the following:
- Tell us why you wrote, EFFECTIVE?
- EFFECTIVE is your second book. Do you need to read WORK HERE NOW first, or is EFFECTIVE independent?
- What is Effectiveness Architecture? How can individuals identify their areas of strength in this framework?
- You’ve identified four capabilities within the Effectiveness Architecture—knowledge, methods, people ability, and technology ability. Is anyone’s capability more important than another’s? What if you feel confident in the first three, but not technology? How can you still be effective?
- How does the Effectiveness Architecture differ when it comes to an office job versus a high-stakes job, such as a pilot, firefighter, or emergency medic?
- Now that we understand the framework of Effective Architecture, how do we use it to tackle the four current trends that are determined to make us less effective? Let’s go one by one: 1. What is Work Intensification, and what can we do? 2. Emotional Inflection can be challenging to work near. What are some strategies? 3. Transparency used to be a positive thing. But hyper-transparency can be overwhelming. Any tips? 4. The world and the workplace are in sheer chaos. How do we prepare for this?
