Qualsiasi, o meglio, ogni perfomance in ambito lavorativo per avere successo deve includere diverse skills. Il loro impatto sulla bottom line di qualsiasi attività è evidente indipendentemente da come le definiamo; Performance skills at work poteva anche essere facilmente intitolato People skills at work o Soft skills at work. Mettendo in evidenza il potenziale, la performance e le procedure lavorative, alcune idee sono state originariamente concepite come materiale per il blog personale di Brian (http://bgdtcoaching.wordpress.com/) nel periodo compreso tra luglio 2014 e giugno 2015. Le skills esaminate in questo libro in inglese rientrano in due categorie: competenze personali (senso dell’umorismo, integrità, motivazione, ottimismo e responsabilità) e abilità interpersonali (comunicazione, empatia, leadership e socialità). Sono inclusi degli esercizi per il lettore con cui esplorare ulteriormente le skills nel proprio ambito lavorativo. Il libro include anche un capitolo sulla questione dei valori, proponendo una prospettiva del lavoro allineata ad un approccio collaborativo per raggiungere gli obiettivi individuali e aziendali. Un case study mette in luce l’uso delle performance skills attraverso l’analisi delle dinamiche lavorative nella pluripremiata serie televisiva in costume Downton Abbey. Il libro si conclude con una riflessione su alcuni elementi spesso presenti nello svolgimento del proprio lavoro: gestione del tempo, perseveranza e successo.

Abstract

Any, or better every, workplace performance requires the use of a combination of skills for a successful realization. The impact of their application on the bottom line of any business is noticeable regardless of how we refer to them. Performance skills at work could just as easily have been titled People skills at work or Soft skills at work. With an emphasis on potential, performance and working practices, some ideas were originally produced as material for Brian’s personal blog (http://bgdtcoaching.wordpress.com/) during the period July 2014-June 2015. The skills examined in this book in English consist of two broad categories: personal competencies (a sense of humour, integrity, motivation, optimism and responsibility) and interpersonal abilities (communication, empathy, leadership and sociability). Exercises for the reader are included to further explore the skills within one’s own workplace. Additionally, the book has a chapter on the issue of values, offering a perspective of work aligned to a collaborative approach for the sake of reaching individual and organizational goals. A case study highlights the use of the performance skills by exploring the work dynamics in Downton Abbey, the highly acclaimed television period drama. In conclusion further elements, often present whilst going about our work, are examined: time management, perseverance and success.
