This document summarizes the key findings of a study conducted by Newsworks and PwC on attention to different media types. The study found that traditional print and broadcast media receive more focused attention from consumers compared to digital media. Specifically, newspaper readers were more likely to regularly set time aside for newspapers, feel personally connected to them, and trust their content more than most other media. The sustained attention received made newspaper readers more likely to discuss issues they read about and be influenced regarding purchases. Overall, the study showed that traditional media with higher attention levels can have a more powerful impact on consumers than digital media with less focused attention.

5 Ways Workplace Diversity Is a Competitive Advantage and Concrete Ways to Ob...JIGAR UNDAVIA
Workplace diversity provides competitive advantages for businesses including increased innovation, stronger team performance, and happier customers. To build a truly diverse workforce, companies must address unconscious biases, celebrate small improvements, and view diversity as a long-term goal rather than a short-term initiative. Tools like implicit bias tests and automated reference checks can help minimize biases during hiring. Leaders must model inclusive behaviors and engage employees in discussions about diversity to overcome resistance to change.
The document discusses how to maximize your team through strength-based leadership. It recommends focusing on investing in your natural strengths and surrounding yourself with people who have complementary strengths in four key domains: executing, influencing, relationship building, and strategic thinking. Effective leaders understand their own strengths and leverage the unique strengths of their team members to drive performance and success.

The document provides 8 tips for motivating employees according to science and best practices. The tips are to 1) schedule more one-on-one time to understand employees, 2) find out what intrinsically motivates each person and help them develop, 3) provide employees with the resources they need to do their jobs well, 4) praise and compliment employees often, 5) help employees find purpose in their work, 6) help employees develop new skills, 7) actively involve employees in decisions, and 8) believe in employees and delegate challenging work to them.
No matter the size, industry, or purpose of an organization, effective teamwork is a key component of success. Teams today are more diverse than ever, with individuals of different generations, backgrounds, and mindsets coming together to meet constantly increasing demands for productivity, creativity, and collaboration. In most cases, people want to succeed, and want to contribute to the success of the organization and of their colleagues. So why is internal conflict so prevalent, and such a barrier to positive collaboration and trust?
One cause of the continuous conflict: when individuals try to resolve problems, they address each other’s behaviors – the things they can observe on a surface level. To develop more effective teams, we must help people understand each other’s motivations – the hidden drivers beneath the surface that give us energy (or drain us of it).
Each individual has a unique motivational DNA that not only drives their own behavior, but also shapes how they interpret the actions of others. Revealing these motivations and developing a team-wide understanding of how these motivations align or mutual understanding of them can be a catalyst for transformational team development.
Join MRG for a 60-minute webinar in which we explore how to:
• Separate ‘what’ from ‘why’: understand the difference between behavior and motivation
• Measure motivation: explore a tool that goes beneath the surface to uncover hidden drivers
• Harness the power of a common language: develop a supportive, value-neutral vocabulary talking about motivation
• Foster awareness and acceptance: create a deep level of self-awareness and a culture that stops rating people as good or bad - and starts celebrating them as different
Invest an hour to discover powerful new strategies to develop healthier, happier, more productive teams.
This document discusses strengths-based teamwork and how focusing on individual strengths rather than weaknesses leads to greater performance and engagement. It defines teamwork as blending individual strengths in a common direction towards meaningful goals. Strengths are refined talents combined with skill and knowledge that allow consistent top performance. However, most people spend only 17% of their time using their strengths. Focusing on weaknesses can lead to frustration, while focusing on strengths builds confidence and motivation, resulting in 73% engagement. Recognizing each person's top 34 strengths themes allows for optimizing roles. In summary, a strengths approach identifies and leverages natural talents for maximum productivity and satisfaction.
How To Build An Assertive Team by Prakash RanaPrakash Rana
How To Build An Assertive Team
Everyone, from management to the workforce, agrees that a strong and united culture is key to the success of the business. It is the mindset and beliefs that guide workplace behavior and decision-making in the company.
Whatever culture the leader wishes to cultivate has to become part of everyday business. It should be evident in every aspect of the business and every decision, no matter the department. As a leader, you make those working with you stronger when you use your power to make them more confident.
THE UGLY TRUTH: Most organizations score horribly in equipping employees to work together and deliver on their collective potential, despite the fact that teamwork is more important in the 21st century than it ever was before. From over 63,000 hours observing leaders and teams in more than 30 companies located in 20 countries, Craig Ross and Angie Paccione identify how even well-intentioned leaders sabotage their own best efforts at developing high-performing teams – and what they must do differently to succeed.
THE PROMISE: Regardless of your position, or whether your team operates in person or virtually, during the first 10 minutes of your next meeting, you can start, transform, and accelerate productive teamwork. The proven, sophisticated, and practical method in ONE Team equips you to activate the brilliant potential your team possesses.
