About 15 years ago, I got interested in getting into the<\/p>\n<p>population at large, specifically around the area of business and studying peak<\/p>\n<p>performance. I wrote an article for the Harvard Business Review about 12 years ago,<\/p>\n<p>called \u0091\u0091The human moment at work\u0092\u0092[1] which was about the disappearance of face-to-faceAdditional Resources<\/p>\n<p>Talent Development<br \/>\nRead Employee Training and Development and Tips for Transferring Training to the Workplace, which provide a foundation for understanding the elements associated with talent development (training and development).

Strategic leaders are known for being able to quickly match skills to tasks.<br \/>\nHR managers need to understand the importance of employees having fun while at work. Many organizations are highly task oriented and forget the importance of being relationship oriented. \u201cOne way you can tell if your employees are in alignment with the Cycle of Excellence is to see if they are having fun.\u201d\u009d For example, some modern managers see the value of having fun at work or even taking time off from work to just relax and reflect. For example, Bill Gates is famous \u201cfor taking seven days off, twice a year, in a secluded cabin where he reads, drinks diet Orange Crush, and thinks.\u201d\u009d<br \/>\nThe author provides the following recommendation for managers, \u201cConsider having a goofy day of some sort now and then. It must conform to the basic rules and values of your organizations culture, of course. But make it fun.\u201d\u009d By having a goofy day at work or dressing up for certain holidays, employees are able to have some fun, which also relieves stress.<br \/>\n\u201cEffective management limits bad stress as much as possible, while promoting good stress in the form of surmountable challenges.\u201d\u009d Effective managers also understand the importance of recognizing employees for their daily contributions. The author continues, \u201cRecognition is so powerful because it answers a fundamental human need, the need to feel valued for what we do. Managers are in a unique position to offer\u201d\u0094or withhold\u201d\u0094such recognition, and with it, the feeling of being valued.\u201d\u009d<br \/>\nAccording to Hallowell (2011), there are five steps to igniting peak performance in an organization. He calls the steps the Cycle of Excellence:<\/p>\n<p>Step 1\u2033\u0094Select: Putting people into the right jobs so that their brains light up.<\/p>\n<p>Step 2\u2033\u0094Connect: Overcoming the potent forces that disconnect people in the workplace both from each other and from the mission of the organization, and restoring the force of positive connection, which is the most powerful fuel for peak performance.<\/p>\n<p>Step 3\u2033\u0094Play: Play, or imaginative engagement, catalyzes advanced work, and managers can help people tap into this phenomenally productive yet undervalued activity of the mind.<\/p>\n<p>Step 4\u2033\u0094Grapple and grow: Managers can create conditions where people want to work hard, and employees making progress at a task that is challenging and important turns ordinary performers into superstars and increases commitment.<\/p>\n<p>Step 5\u2033\u0094Shine: Doing well\u201d\u0094shining\u201d\u0094feels good, so giving recognition and noticing when a person shines is critical, and a culture that helps people shine inevitably becomes a culture of self-perpetuating excellence.<\/p>\n<p>The five steps of the Cycle of Excellence provide a novel approach to maximizing peak performance.<\/p>\n<p>Reference: Hallowell, E.M.

Boston, MA: Harvard Business Review.<\/p>\n<p>Homework Case Assignment<br \/>\nDraw on the material in the background readings and do additional research to prepare a magazine article in which you do the following:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Analyze the five steps of the Cycle of Excellence and discuss the added value of using the Cycle of Excellence.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Critique Hallowells Cycle of Excellence and use it as a starting point to create your own cycle of excellence. Share real-world employer examples (by employer name).<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Discuss how the cycle of excellence you have developed is the optimum approach for managing human capital.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 The magazine article you are writing should be similar to an article you might find in TD: Talent Development (magazine of the Association for Talent Development) or in HR Magazine (magazine for the Society for Human Resource Management, SHRM).<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Utilize at least three other reference sources to build your article. Cite sources within your paragraphs and include them in a References list at the end of your article. (Note: Even though practitioner magazine articles at times do not cite sources or have a reference section, they are needed for our academic purposes. See the Student Guide to Writing a High-Quality Academic Paper for additional information.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Include a cover page and a reference page. Note that the deliverable for this assignment is not an essay paper, but rather a journal article formatted like other published journal articles.
