George Orwell said, "An autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful." In that vein, Michael was banned from his high school graduation for "the balloon incident", was sued by one of his Law School lecturers for defamation, and managed to give himself a concussion while digging a hole as a labourer…
Luckily, there's also been some upside. He is the author of a number of books, and the one he is best known for with 90,000 copies sold is Do More Great Work. However, the one he's proudest of is End Malaria, a collection of articles about Great Work from thought leaders that's raised about $400,000 for Malaria No More and reached #2 on Amazon.com.
Michael also organized the Great Work MBA, a virtual conference featuring 30 world class speakers and which had more than 10,000 registered participants.
All of this is done as founder and Senior Partner of Box of Crayons, a company that helps organizations do less Good Work and more Great Work. Their focus is on helping time-crunched managers coach in 10 minutes or less, and their Fortune 500 clients include TD Bank, Kraft, Gartner and VMWare.
Michael is a well-regarded speaker, and as well as speaking to organizations he regularly keynotes at conferences such as HRPA, SHRM, CSTD, the Evanta HR Leadership series and The Conference Board of Canada. He's known for sessions that are highly engaging, interactive and entertaining. And for his colourful Box of Crayons socks.
Before Box of Crayons, Michael spent time inventing products and services as part of an innovation agency, and working as a management consultant on large scale change, where amongst other things he wrote the global vision for GlaxoSmithKline.
Michael was a Rhodes Scholar and the first Canadian Coach of the Year.
Rien ne sert de conseiller, il vaut mieux écouter !
Tout le monde aime donner son avis. Dès qu'un collaborateur vous explique un problème, vous vous empressez sûrement de lui dire ce que vous en pensez. Pourtant, vos conseils :
• sont rarement pertinents, car vous n'avez qu'un aperçu superficiel de la situation ;
• alourdissent votre charge de travail, en vous obligeant à réfléchir aux tâches d'autrui ;
• peuvent être des ordres déguisés, qui démotivent votre interlocuteur.
Ce guide vous encourage à devenir un anti-manager en surmontant cette tendance naturelle à donner des conseils. En posant à vos collaborateurs les bonnes questions – et en valorisant leurs réponses –, vous pourrez :
• identifier ensemble les véritables défis qui se cachent derrière leurs difficultés ;
• les aider à formuler leurs propres solutions et pistes d'amélioration ;
• tisser des liens de confiance qui auront un impact fantastique sur la performance et l'innovation au sein de votre équipe !
