ACHIEVEMENT MOTIVATION look up translate image: Finding joy in accomplishment for its own sake.
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION look up translate image: A hiring policy that requires employers to analyze the work force for under-representation of protected classes. It involves recruiting minorities and members of protected classes, changing management attitudes or prejudices towards them, removing discriminatory employment practices, and giving preferred treatment to protected classes. See Diversity.
AFTER ACTION REVIEWS look up translate image: An assessment conducted after a project or major activity that allows employees and leaders to discover (learn) what happened and why. It may be thought of as a professional discussion of an event that enable employees to understand why things happened during the progression of the process and to learn from that experience.
ALIGNMENT look up translate image: a collaborative leadership process that gains buy-in and commitment; fosters teamwork by providing continual, relevant feedback; asks questions, listens, reframes, proposes, synthesizes, summarizes, and seeks consensus; maintained only through a process of collaborative communication that can never stop.
ANCHORING look up translate image: A common human tendency to rely too strongly on one piece of information when making decisions or forecasting. Once the anchor is set, the person tends to maintain a bias toward that value. As an example, an employee may review the cost of a small prior project prior to creating an estimate for a new major project proposal. This will likely bias the estimate toward the cost of the prior project, understating the magnitude of the proposed work. I have seen this happen often when small contractors bid on large projects. Anchoring happens without any conscious intent to distort the forecast.
ASSERTIVENESS look up translate image: Forthrightness in expressing demands, opinions, feelings, and attitudes.
ASSESSING look up translate image: The process of conducting In Process Reviews (IPRs) and After Action Reviews (AARs). IPRs help to determine initial expectations, ascertain strengths and weakness of both employees and the organization, and identify key issues and organizations whose willing support is needed to accomplish the mission. AARs determine how well the goals are being accomplished, usually by identifying areas to sustain and improve.
ASSUMPTION look up translate image: An idea or fact that is taken for granted as true. Leaders must make assumptions when creating a vision and planning or executing to achieve their goals. Necessary assumptions are usually time-dependent (e.g., "Sally is available to work on this for the next two months"), whereas people-dependent assumptions are usually best avoided (e.g., stereotypes).

CASUAL TIME ORIENTATION look up translate image: The view that time is an unlimited and unending resource, leading toward extreme patience.
CENTRALITY look up translate image: The extent to which a unit's activities are linked into the system of organized activities.
CHAOS look up translate image: Chaos is not utter confusion. It is constrained, rather than explosive, instability. It is a combination of order and disorder in which patterns of behavior continually unfold in irregular but similar forms. When a system is either stable or unstable, its short- and long-term futures are perfectly predictable. When it is in chaos, however, the short-term behavior can be predicted because it takes time for small changes to escalate. But it is impossible, even in principle, to predict specific long-term...(more)

CHARISMA look up translate image: A special quality of leaders whose purposes, powers, and extraordinary determination differentiate them from others.

COMMUNITY look up translate image: a group of people pursuing a common mission; often includes "communities of interest" encompassing various associations and organizations. Former Colorado Governor Dick Lamm says, "A community is much more than a place on a map; community is not where we live, but how we act toward each other." Scott Peck suggests that community can often be thought of more as a verb than a noun.
COMPLEX SYSTEM look up translate image: "A complex system is one whose evolution is very sensitive to initial conditions or to small perturbations, one in which the number of independent interacting components is large, or one in which there are multiple pathways by which the system can evolve" (Whitesides & Ismagilov). "Complex systems are systems in process that constantly evolve and unfold over time" (W. Brian Arthur). Both definitions are found in Science Vol. 284. No. 5411 (1999) , a special edition on complex systems.
COMPLEXITY look up translate image: Complexity results from the interaction of the parts of a system wherein each part is relatively simple and responds to the limited information presented to it. Complexity "entails that, in a system, there are more possibilities than can be actualized." It is hard to define precisely, as many systems that have complexity when viewed close up, appear to be simple when viewed from afar (Cilliers, P. pp. 2-5). Hence, it is common that in the executive suite, solutions appear simple, while when viewed at the staff level, many confounding situations are apparent.
