How Much Do Dryers Weigh
Interview with Oscar Isoba: creative leaders and Invention
What should I do to learn a corporate level?
To change is necessary to learn.
Learning is a process by which store personal experiences for the future and that requires motivation, time and opportunity to practice and return to practice a task.
is an internal process but modified externally.
employer level to align all staff in each of the key sectors of the company.
matter so much what you know and what you do with what you know, and enable continuous improvement.
What actions should take the company to be creative leaders?
The supervisor's role is not only a passive verifier performance, but to trigger the proactive participation of your team.
Creativity is thinking something different in our context and Innovation is doing something different in our context.
The concept of what a creative can generate for the benefit of your company is the first step, second to realize that is not enough to decree that their supervisors should become creative, but required to adopt a program of technical and tactical development of leadership skills and creative contexts, people, processes and products.
In the market there are many models of leadership, each proclaiming to be the best, however, shows that most of these models only serve to entertain or raise short-term motivation.
Why not develop skills and leaving the world are faced with the disappointment that never taught them how.
So should be very careful in choosing the program that best fits idiosyncratic conditions of its staff and their specific needs, which among other things, are never short courses, but real programs for skills development and systematic change in attitudes. "
Why many Latin American companies do not accept creativity as an organizational value?
There are two main reasons: the first is that creativity has been linked exclusively to the field of marketing and advertising and specifically the generation Ad clever ", just remember that employees of advertising agencies themselves "creative", even though their products, sometimes just seem to lack originality and fine finish.
The second is that as in the theme of leadership, there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of pseudo consultants on creativity and innovation that the only thing they do in their "brand new course" is to entertain participants having a nice weekend, with dozens of pages full of ideas, not always aimed at the solutions needed, and some of these characters to have included in their "routine" training magic tricks, fun group techniques, etc..
At the end of the course, participants had fun, were entertained, rested, formed a good atmosphere, but not acquire new skills to generate creative transformations.
only recommend systematic programs of Creativity and Innovation, to differentiate them from those who only have a recreational or playful cathartic.
Systematized Creativity can generate solutions to problems that have been dragging it Over the years, transform their production systems, create new products or services, generate new market entry strategies, create new market niches and develop competitive advantages.
If your creativity and innovation consultants are able to offer this, then you are dealing with charlatans.
Today, among the professionals is much talk about emotional intelligence (EI),
How do you define this concept ?
- Emotional intelligence is a new construction which, even in the circles of
professionals dedicated to it still looking for a complete definition, which means that not much is known yet. However, we all have emotions and we know what we mean. Some definitions are recognized as
Some experts say it's capacity to perceive and express emotions, assimilate emotion in thought, to understand and reason with the emotions and regulating emotions in oneself and others.
Goleman is the capacity for recognizing our own feelings, the feelings of others, motivate and properly handle the relationships we have with the others and ourselves.
Others refer to all personnel management skills and social skills that allow us to succeed in the workplace and in life in general.
As do seem to agree all the authors is at what point Goleman and skills to recognize and regulate their own emotions and others.
Find a definition seems to have become to hunt and capture of something that while we are still unable to operate, how we define good?
Definition find clearer as we focus on understanding our own emotions from the experience itself and not from a theoretical idea.
Anyway we can say that emotional intelligence is the willingness to exploit those emotions that are intrinsic to human beings and turn them to our advantage, allowing them to interact naturally.
What are the differences between emotional intelligence and practical intelligence?
The differences between emotional intelligence and intelligence we practice ourselves, our fears and blocks because in fact the only thing we lack is the way of wanting to learn through good practical method to transform the emotions.
Emotional Intelligence is in the theoretical concepts and practical intelligence is at the level of experience should not tell the difference but distances between them. What separates one from another is our mind, we believe we can solve with ideas something that is resolved simply with facts.
And we can not understand the emotions if we look from other angles and points of view, so if distance between each other is our mind then we will have to do is start cleaning our minds of fears, prejudices and taboos that prevents us from seeing clearly.
As we all know, there are employees who know very well the theory of their work. However, in practice they are inefficient Why should this situation?
This question is very generic, but suppose that two people with the same socio-cultural and economic study a career in college while in college there are no differences between them are studying.
distinctions start when looking for work, this has nothing to do what they know but how they use it, ie how they use their skills.
Thus a worker will be efficient if you develop human skills to their advantage, for example, checked in extreme situations, situations change, and all to be surrounded by an environment that will benefit you and therefore your business.
Maybe we should start accepting that as important as formal education is a human formation in depth.
How emotional intelligence can help an organization achieve its goals?
If the goal of an organization is to get a good position in the market and important benefits without regard to human capital in every way imaginable, then to such organizations can help you work this is on human quality.
HR Managers do not have anything easy on the one hand, there are powerful companies that have great influence on the company to be making the most out of their advisory status. For Furthermore, the lack of time in all companies is a weak point on which many take advantage.
Some HR managers clearly reflect the chaos in which their companies are involved and manifested in their acts of desperation to find a method that in one day that will change them for many years can not. You want others to solve problems we do not want to solve. You pass another bad apple. These companies do not believe in a practical way of work on human quality.
The work done on this issue can only help companies to incorporate into his philosophy business practical project work on human quality. Only management will wake up the right way, others will see fear, embarrassment, loss of time ...
only benefit companies that spend time and change their point of view and do so with facts.
Every company has intellectual capital and emotional capital, how are linked
both?
What companies have a potential capital human and not just depend on them to take the necessary steps to qualify, but that the main perpetrators but also recipients are workers.
Intellectual capital is controlled by the company and talk about emotional capital is more revolutionary because it is not controllable by the company, this is part of the inside of a person and, therefore, only people individually and voluntarily are those who have the final say in accepting human development programs.
So what is there to try to link the company and the worker, both have to do a job of complicity to come out ahead.
All times of crisis brings new opportunities but at the same time, how can people take advantage of these opportunities?
There are many types of crisis with its various causes and effects. In some cases the crisis because we get too much into some things and leave other important.
Assuming we're talking about a natural crisis, that is, because things change naturally, in this case just what we need to do is accept that nothing is forever and that everything comes to an end. Actually this
is the natural disposition with which we should get up every day knowing that everything can change and what we simply have to do is try to do my best without worrying about what will happen when it's over?, so offer no resistance constantly change is occurring in the workplace and in life.
Every crisis gives us the opportunity to acknowledge mistakes, learn from them and modify as needed.
gives us the opportunity to know what has not been done well and instead of wasting time looking for responsible, most helpful is to not repeat the mistake. In short, regardless of what caused a crisis, the greater chance we can take is to learn.
daily If our attitude is to want to learn from the mistakes, the crisis will not be as such but as a new opportunity to learn. Be willing to learn from mistakes is to leave behind some emotions that harm us, or what is, is to have cleaned up our mind of emotions such as shame, pride, jealousy, self-esteem, desire to excel, fear, among others.
How Emotional Intelligence can do more creative the
workers?
Emotional intelligence alone can not do more creative workers. What may make them more creative emotional intelligence is applied from the point of view of freedom.
Creativity is a human value that can be developed extensively.
When people we let go of bitterness, hatred, jealousy, stress, bad mood ... we clean part of our mind allows us to focus on enjoying things, share ideas and work in an indoor environment free of obstacles, from there each employee will get the best you have.
Creativity is spontaneous and originated partly in the right hemisphere, but partly also a deliberate effort by the left hemisphere, which applies techniques and valid tools to generate new ideas.
And how does an innovator and an inventor?
The Innovator must come up with your idea and plan of action and impose market through creativity and advertising his idea.
Instead, the inventor must know in depth a given problem, have extensive knowledge in the laws of physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, materials science and consolidate all this in a systematic and TRIZ .
is not going random testing or I could run the tool but to implement concrete and direct.
What makes an inventor?
Every invention is a long way towards the impossible.
But the impossible means impossible with current and existing media.
Creativity is the first step towards the invention and the inventor is one who finds and implements a new concept, making the impossible becomes possible.
Is it true that learning causes changes in the shape of the brain?
Learning changes many things. Studies in animals show that brain areas that control movement, when training for a complex movement, experiencing an increase in area of \u200b\u200bthe cerebral cortex dedicated to that function.
That happens with the violinists, for example. Not that the brain gets bigger or smaller, is a change in their computational characteristics.
A very simple test is to repeat a group of children and youth, words over and over again, while their brains are mapped.
Every time I repeated the words, their brains became more rapid and efficient.
As an indicator, measures the level of demand for oxygen in the blood, which reduced progressive so that the brain functioned more efficiently.
So, what changed was not the way the brain, but its mechanisms.
How to build the knowledge and creativity?
I have a position and ideological education and learning is constructed from two kinds: natural and social.
I do not believe that to be creative you must necessarily be modified internally.
If you is motivated and knows the tools while stimulating their generation of ideas and aims.
Then you must have some knowledge and applying TRIZ theory and systematically.
Creativity is the first step on a long road through innovation and perseverance if you finish in the Invention.
Can you teach a particular person to be creative?
Yes, of course, and you can teach someone to play tennis, you can teach a person to optimize the business requires creativity. Because companies do not require any kind of creativity, require a specific type and productive.
business creativity has unique characteristics, for example requires a large production of ideas, time management, and apply a consistent theory should be taught TRIZ and creativity within the limits of the organization, that is what matters.
Do I need a good environment for people to be creative?
necessarily have to be a climate of trust, free speech, intellectual freedom, in a good mood but it depends on how you understand the good mood.
one thing and another American humor is the humor of the town.
What you assess the gurus of creativity?
Very few, De Bono, Altshuller, Michalko, Von Oech, Mauro Rodriguez, Gardner and another.
Most Rated by me, is that a growth and a wide range of application of theories and presentations over the years.
The constant repetition and not grow is a sign of little creativity and you can not teach creativity without being creative.
Criticize you some current teachers?
I do not think it is valid to teach creativity as something internal, secret and inaccessible to the person or a mystery to unravel.
first be taught what is the general basis of agreement among recognized experts, and only then and in addition, what you think.
If this is not done, trim the creative spectrum and innovative and falls into the selfish attitude of believing that we can reinvent the wheel.
What should be done in Latin America to enter the first world?
I shot some ideas:
1.On all rich countries, the number of young people choosing a career in science and engineering, despite being low, it's something that motivates scholarships or internships.
addition, children in primary and secondary schools must do fun projects on science workshops, how to design a small robot submarine or with works of wit and creative problems, or learning the inventive principles of Altshuller.
then means that science and invention are tools to do what you want to do, and not a fence to jump to get a good job.
2-There as the ALFA III Programme of the European Community to provide technical assistance and update teachers in Latin American universities to support the development of Innovation and Industrial Product Design, where the EU participates with up to 90% of the costs of internationally recognized instructors.
3-Universities must update the materials and accompanying curriculum changes and globalization.
In that sense, private universities, at least in Argentina, are better positioned for the challenges and the current changes to be more dysfunctional, more computerized and other agreements with foreign universities recognized.
4-You as a professional, you should consider that their knowledge and skills are broken down in less than five years, so their education should be continuous and understand that the graduate or are constantly updated and a need.
basics still valid but the technology and the market are constantly changing and you must follow.
There are two important events in this century of creativity:
· Internet Information today is about 20 times greater than all the information given in libraries and other media from the man sapiens.
· Today there are about 1000 million people connected to the web and other 5.5 billion that barely knows the name Internet, which deepens the technological gap.
7 You must decide whether to apply the information you have Internet access and a creative or not.
