We have mentioned Lynda Gratton - Professor of Management at the London School of Business - work and books several times in the past. Lynda has published a new book called "Glow" which is a follow on to her last book "Hotspots" which looked at many global organisations to uncover hot spots of endeavour and then examined how these hot spots could be developed. "Glow" delves into how the individual can develop and provide meaningful input into an organisation.

This is a link to an advertisement for the book which also provides a 20% discount if you wish to purchase.

Lynda Gratton , Professor of Management Practice at the London Business School, is visiting Australia during May 2008, principally to speak as the keynote at the annual national convention of the AHRI at the Melbourne Convention Centre on the 21st and 22nd.

Lynda is considered a world authority on people in organisations and actively advises companies across the globe. In mid 2007 Lynda released a new book, titled “Hotspots” which has gone onto major acclaim by business professionals around the world.

The focus of this book is how to identify the creative people and teams within your organisation - “the hotspots” - understand how they work, and then work out how to repeat that success. We have previously provided background on the collaborative steps required to create successful virtual teams and if you have not read it, here is the link – Virtual Teamwork Article.

We have used Lynda’s research to assist us in building our collaboration practices blueprint by taking her research and developing suitable tools and collaboration methodologies which we now use everyday.

We can highly recommend her books to you and if you are in Melbourne or already booked for the AHRI convention then don’t miss Lynda Gratton speak !

If you can't make this event then we suggest you get her latest book and also register at the Hot Spots Movement website to receive regular insights on how to create and manage "Hot Spots" in your organisation.
