“Lasīšana nav tikai par grāmatām — tā ir par cilvēka spēju būt klātesošam, domāt dziļi un just patiesi.” Par lasīšanu un ne tikai, jaunākajā HR Podcast sarunā sarunājos ar divām brīnišķīgām, erudītām un uzņēmīgām sievietēm - Ingu Grencbergu un Elīnu Dlohi.Elīna ir grāmatu apskatniece, aktīva lasīšanas kultūras veicinātāja ir arī daļa no Kalve Coffee kura ilgstoši strādājusi organizāciju vidē, savukārt Inga ir rakstniece, radošo industriju pārstāve un idejas autore kustībai “Laiks lasīt”. Inga tic, ka grāmatas var būt droša telpa, kurā cilvēks atjauno kontaktu ar sevi un citiem.Mēs dzīvojam laikā, kur uzmanību plosa troksnis, ātrums un virspusējība. Bet tieši lasīšana, kā saka neirozinātniece Maryanne Wolf, atjauno mūsu kognitīvo pacietību — spēju noturēt uzmanību, domāt dziļi un izjust empātiju. Lasīšana ir mūsu smadzeņu maize un iespēja sajust sevi, citus un pasauli.Šajā epizodē runājām:– kā lasīšana trenē uzmanību, empātiju un domāšanas dziļumu;– kāpēc grāmatas varbūt arī terapija– kā lasīšana atjauno un stiprina emocionālo inteliģenci un pašrefleksijas spēju– kā uzņēmumos ieviest grāmatu klubus, kas saliedē komandas un atver cilvēkus dialogam– un kāpēc pietiek ar vienu grāmatu un piecām minūtēm dienā, lai būtu “laiks lasīt”Paldies Inga un Elīna, ka atgādināt — lasīšana nav par grāmatu kaudzēm, bet par cilvēka iekšējo dzīvi un mūsu spēju pretoties ātruma, patēriņa un virspusējības kārdinājumam. Dalies ar kolēģiem, kuri lasa vai gribētu sākt. Un varbūt tieši šodien ir īstais brīdis atrast tās 5 minūtes.Grāmatas, ko pieminējām sarunā: 1.

“Vadītājs ir darbs – tā ir profesija. Un būt vadītājam nozīmē apsaimniekot akcionāru resursus pēc vislabākās sirdsapziņas – rūpējoties gan par cilvēkiem, gan par rezultātiem.” Tā jaunākajā HR Podcast sarunā stāsta Sandra Lāce, supervizore, vadīšanas prasmju trenere un kognitīvi biheiviorālās terapijas speciāliste.Mēs bieži sakām – vadītājam jābūt cilvēcīgam. Bet ko tas nozīmē praksē? Un kā turēt līdzsvaru starp empātiju un disciplīnu, starp cilvēcību un rezultātu?Šoreiz ar Sandru runājām par:– kā mainījusies vadītāja loma pēdējo 10–15 gadu laikā – no “komandē un kontrolē” uz pilnvarojošu un iesaistošu un kādas ir tā sekas,– kāpēc darbinieku iesaiste Eiropā joprojām ir zemākā pasaulē (tikai 13% ir patiesi iesaistīti) un kādu lomu te spēlē vadītājs;– vai organizācija var pieprasīt no vadītāja strādāt ar savām traumām, lai tās netraucē darbam;– kādas ir piecas lietas, kas, pēc Sandras pieredzes, obligāti jābūt vadītāja kalendārā – vīzija, ietvars, transformācijas spēja, regulāra snieguma vadība un panākumu svinēšana;– kas ir nobriedusi psihe un kā refleksijas prasme palīdz vadītājam būt cilvēcīgam, vienlaikus turēt robežas.
