And Mr. Martin Prince, Registrar of the British University in Dubai, joined us for a discussion about how we might think about a better University. From Dr. D'Andrea's latest book. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Improving-Teaching-Learning-Higher-Education/dp/0335210686/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1256704054&sr=1-1 Improving Teaching and Learning in Higher Education: A whole institute approach (Society for Research into Higher Education) (Paperback) * What are the aims of higher education? * What are the strategies necessary for institutional improvement? * How might the student experience be improved? The emergence of the discourse around learning and teaching is one of the more remarkable phenomena of the last decade in higher education. Increasingly, universities are being required to pay greater attention to improving teaching and enhancing student learning. This book will help universities and colleges achieve these goals through an approach to institutional change that is well founded on both research and practical experience. By placing learning at the centre of organizational change, this book challenges many of the current assumptions about management of teaching, supporting students, the separation of research and teaching, the use of information technology and quality systems. It demonstrates how trust can be restored within higher education while advancing the need for change based on principles of equity and academic values for students and teachers alike. Improving Teaching and Learning in Higher Education is key reading for anyone interested in the development of teaching and learning in higher education, as well as policy makers.

Chester Elton on the Carrot Principle

James Piecowye — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:42:18 GMT

Chester was at Leaders in Dubai 2009 and took a few minutes to talk to Nightline about how to create a better work environment. The Carrot Principle January 25 2007 - In 'The Carrot Principle - How the Best Managers Use Recognition to Engage Their People, Retain Talent, and Accelerate Performance' management consultants Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton explain how organizations and managers can use praise and recognition to motivate their workforces. The authors base their conclusions on a groundbreaking survey of 200 000 employees in North America. Results indicate that job satisfaction has never been lower. Lack of motivation and disengagement leading to increased turnover represents the most significant uncalculated expense for employers. It is estimated that replacing a staff member can cost up to 250 per cent of the person's annual salary. Key survey findings include: * 65 per cent of respondents report that they weren't recognized at all in the preceding year * 79 percent of people leaving an organization report 'lack of appreciation' as a key reason * Of those reporting the highest morale at work, 94.4 per cent agree that their managers are effective at recognition * Organizations that effectively recognize excellence tend to be more profitable and can have more than three times the return on equity than those that do so the least. The authors suggest 125 ideas for recognizing employees drawn from interviews with managers around the world. These include: * 'On a new employee's first day, set expectations high by planning a small celebration. Then send out an email about the new person and why they were chosen to join the team.' * 'Invite an employee to take their spouse on a business trip. Pay for the spouse's airline ticket and extend the trip by one day for some sightseeing.' * 'At the beginning of each day, put three coins in your right pocket. Transfer one to the left each time you reward an employee for a behavior that is critical to your goals, your customers, your employees, and your company.' * 'How do you recognize a poor performer? Carefully. The idea is to praise even the smallest movement toward valued behavior.' * 'Personally deliver your employee's next paycheck to them. Before you hand it over, spend a few moments defining exactly what they contribute to the company. It's never the money that makes a person feel like a million bucks - it's the praise.' * Performance Management Articles * Performance Management Books Carrot Principle
