INITIATE YOUR DISCUSSIONS: LET THE MINDS OF TALENTED PEOPLE SPEAK OUT TO EACH OTHER

​Tacit Knowledge


If you tried to remember, you could probably think of most of the mentors who have helped you learn how to do woodturning. Yet, there is no one grand moment of learning—this knowledge lives within you in a way that is unyielding to linear timelines and is impossible to chronicle fully in words. Instead, it is a circular and shaping the wood in the way you want. Every time you sit down in front of your woodturning machine, you return to and build upon this knowledge. It comes together whenever you hold your wood piece. It is embodied within your mind, hands, body, and heart.

Artistic knowledge is not clearly explained with words but through the thoughtful and critical melding of mind and materials. It is that knowledge that is interpretive, subjective, and unique to an individual. Artistic knowledge is tacit knowledge.

​Artist Job in Movie Industries Requires 100% Tacit Knowledge

Tacit knowledge is gained from personal experience since it can be hard to share with others. In the workplace, tacit knowledge might refer to processes and techniques that you can only learn through practical experience and training. That could include topics like sales strategies, management styles, presenting, or making of Movie Sets. These examples represent types of knowledge that can be difficult to convey to new hires. 

Because tacit knowledge can be hard to verbalize, it can sometimes be challenging to transfer tacit knowledge to others. It can also be specific to each person and environment. Because of this, a lot of training to improve tacit knowledge happens on the job and can require a lot of experiential learning.

How to Grow the Tacit Health Knowledge Asset? 

This knowledge or know-how is embedded or rooted in the mind of talented people, acquired through years of experience, expanded by getting together with other people, as it is hard to communicate on this subject all at once, sometimes it may be better to let the minds of people speak to each other through socialization as it can increase creativity and innovation in your organization.

​What is the connection between Art, Creativity, Innovation, and Leadership as explained below?  

​"What can art teach business leaders?

​Artists and business leaders have many parallels. Both involve having a guiding vision, a potent point of view, formulating ideals, navigating chaos and the unknown, and finally producing a new creation. An artful leader must know how to lead people creatively. Since all great art pushes boundaries beyond established norms, it can teach us about leadership, empathy, ambiguity, change, courage, and creativity. It makes sense to explore what we can learn from the world of arts and apply it to business: We will use art as a catalyst for creative conversations about the future, culture, leadership, or any topic of importance to your group."

Tacit Knowledge in Painting: From Studio to Classroom

"This article discusses research that employed practice-led and action research methods to study the tacit knowledge of painting practice and its application to teaching. Polanyi's theory of tacit knowledge is used to analyse the non-verbal, experience-based knowledge of painting to construct a discursive relationship between the dual practices of painting and teaching. The research was undertaken in the context of a twelve-week class in landscape painting for adults in a non-profit art school. Within the context of the class, a series of paintings was created and documented. By analysing the focal and subsidiary knowledge of the painting processes, several distinct patterns of action and thinking emerged. These patterns were synthesised into three modes of thinking that integrate the mind, body and materials. The outcome of the study is a preliminary model that describes painting as a dynamic multi-modal thinking process, integrating visual perception, material actions and expressive ways of thinking. The discussion includes a detailed description of the research methods, the data analysis, the application in teaching, and the embodied nature of cognition in the painting process."

Tacit knowledge

Abstract

"Information that is not made explicit is nonetheless embedded in most of our standard procedures. In its simplest form, embedded information may take the form of prior knowledge held by the researcher and presumed to be agreed to by consumers of the research product. More interesting are the settings in which the prior information is held unconsciously by both researcher and reader, or when the very form of an "effective procedure" incorporates its creator's (unspoken) understanding of a problem. While it may not be productive to exhaustively detail the embedded or tacit knowledge that manifests itself in creative scientific work, at least at the beginning, we may want to routinize methods for extracting and documenting the ways of thinking that make "experts" expert. We should not back away from both expecting and respecting the tacit knowledge the pervades our work and the work of others."

The Impact of Tacit Knowledge Sharing on Job Performance

Abstract

"The success or failure of an organization is dependent on its ability to manage and motivate its employees. It is widely accepted that knowledge management is a critical factor affecting an organization’s ability to remain competitive in the global marketplace. It is also one of the major strategic uses of informational technology. However, despite the growth in easily using and accessing online information, employees must still rely on their co-workers for knowledge sharing to deal effectively with their work. The thorny form of knowledge sharing is tacit knowledge because it is an experience that is embedded in an individual. Organizations recognize this and must develop a mechanism for obtaining this collective intelligence and skills of its employees to create a greater organizational knowledge base. Using the literature, this study critically analyzes the impact of tacit knowledge sharing on job performance. The study will also briefly explore any likely interactions between tacit knowledge sharing and explicit knowledge sharing. The main research objective is to establish an understanding of the effect of tacit knowledge sharing on job performance. The essence is to understand how organizations can more easily communicate knowledge that will increase job performance, driven by an understanding of leveraging tacit knowledge"

The Effect of Entrepreneurial Leadership on Employees’ Tacit Knowledge Sharing in Start-Ups: A Moderated Mediation Model

Abstract

"Background

This study explores the causal relationship between entrepreneurial leadership and employees’ tacit knowledge sharing in start-ups. Construct a moderated mediation model to test the mediating role of affective commitment and the moderating role of career growth opportunities.

Methods

A questionnaire was used to collect data, and 485 samples of employees in Chinese start-ups were collected. Regression analysis and structural equation model were used to analyze data and verify hypotheses.

Results

The study shows that entrepreneurial leadership has a significant positive effect on employees’ affective commitment and tacit knowledge sharing. Affective commitment plays a mediating effect between entrepreneurial leadership and employees’ tacit knowledge sharing. Career growth opportunities play a positive moderating role in the impact of entrepreneurial leadership on affective commitment and tacit knowledge sharing, and positively moderate the indirect effect of entrepreneurial leadership on tacit knowledge sharing through affective commitment.

Conclusion

​The research illustrates that the managers of start-ups can improve employees’ affective commitment by giving full play to entrepreneurial leadership and combining the career growth opportunities provided by the organization. Employees’ tacit knowledge sharing behavior is stimulated, providing guiding value for knowledge management and the human resource management of start-ups."

Copying Better: How To Acquire The Tacit Knowledge of Experts

"Let’s say that you believe tacit knowledge exists. Let’s also say that you agree that tacit knowledge is mostly learnt through emulation, apprenticeship and osmosis.

The question that follows naturally is this: are there ways to get better at it? Is there research that tells us how to get better at emulation, or to be more effective at apprenticeship? I mentioned in my previous piece that the field of Naturalistic Decision Making (NDM) is the most promising subfield of expertise research I’ve found; I also mentioned that learning ideas and methods from NDM has made the biggest difference in my own pursuit of mastery."

Tacit Knowledge: What is it, and how you can promote it 
 Ajay Chadha  Fri, Apr 29, 2022  Blog 0 147

"In this era of fierce competition, companies are focusing on a knowledge-sharing culture and knowledge-centric approach to scale rapidly. However, not all companies are able to optimally utilize this process because they miss a very crucial type of information. What are we referring to? Tacit knowledge.  
​
Yes, knowledge can be categorized too. Primarily there are two broad categories of knowledge, i.e., Explicit and Tacit. Companies that focus on tapping the tacit knowledge along with the explicit one have shown tremendous progress over the years. Let us look at what these two terms are:"  READ MORE . . . . . .

How Research Impact Is Shaped by Tacit Knowledge

"When academics experience a deep immersion within the stakeholders’ world, they gain a profound understanding of how things are done. They can use this knowledge to embed explicit knowledge into their research findings."

"Tacit knowledge is the intelligence that people draw on while doing a task—such as driving a car or teaching a class—but that they find difficult to express in language. They might not even be conscious of the fact that they’re using it. For instance, a map is an artifact of explicit knowledge, but people must draw on tacit knowledge if they are to use it to figure out where they are and where they need to go. Tacit knowledge makes a difference, but it defies quantification. It is contextual and grounded in experience." READ MORE . . . . .

THIS SECTION IS DEDICATED TO NURSES: 

Tacit Knowledge: Characteristics in nursing practice

"Introduction: Tacit knowledge can be defined as knowledge which is used intuitively and unconsciously, which is acquired through one's experience, characterized by being personal and contextual. Some terms such as 'intuition', 'know how' and 'implicit knowledge' have been used to describe tacit knowledge. Different disciplines in the fields of management or health have studied tacit knowledge, identifying it as a powerful tool to create knowledge and clinical decision-making. The aim of this review is to analyse the definition and characteristics that make up tacit knowledge and determine the role it plays in the nursing discipline."  READ MORE  . . . .

A gut feeling? Intuition and critical care nursing

Abstract: "As nurses, we are knowledgeable about nursing and able, immediately and intuitively, to identify the needs and demands of a given situation. Experienced nurses practice intuitively by virtue of having developed, through critical thought, a deeply grounded knowledge base that can be applied in daily practice. Each gains knowledge about nursing practice in such a way that every clinical experience becomes a lesson which informs the next experience. There is continued debate over the domain of nursing knowledge, where it originates and to whom it belongs. Much of nursing knowledge has emerged from the practice of other professions. There now appears to be an increasing focus within today's modern healthcare environment on the importance of measurable outcomes and the need to predict the consequences of all interventions. The strength of our intuition often urges us to do something more for the patient. When we as nurses report our intuitions, subjective feelings are often at odds with the objective signs and symptoms. Nurses have made great strides in recognizing, analyzing and teaching concepts related to logical, rational decision-making. It is imperative, however, also to recognize and teach the concepts related to the intuitive and precognitive components of making decisions in clinical practice."  READ MORE . . . .

A pragmatic view of intuitive knowledge in nursing practice

Abstract: "Examining and exploring the intuitive knowledge--ergo intuition--of nurses is a critical undertaking for the practice of nursing. Traditionally, as nurses, we have been conditioned to value empirical knowledge above all other forms of knowledge. Intuition is, however, a rich source of nursing knowledge and, the authors would suggest, integral to the practice of nursing. Explicit recognition and embracing of intuition, as being a legitimate form of knowledge in the practice arena, must be intentionally nurtured. The focus of this paper is to explore intuitive knowledge within the context of nursing practice. It will also address various influences on our understanding of intuition as an essential form of nursing knowledge." READ MORE . . . .

​Clinical intuition in the nursing process and decision-making-A mixed-studies review

"Conclusion: Intuition is more than simply a "gut feeling," and it is a process based on knowledge and care experience and has a place beside research-based evidence. Nurses integrate both analysis and synthesis of intuition alongside objective data when making decisions. They should rely on their intuition and use this knowledge in clinical practice as a support in decision-making, which increases the quality and safety of patient care."

Learning How to Inspire Others at the Workplace
Umesh Bhargava, Ph. D

​Image Text: inspire others
Image Alt-text: motivate others
Image Description: A person holding a paper that reads to inspire. 

The ability to inspire others is one of the single most essential leadership skills that differentiate excellent leaders from average ones. Even though there are several admirable bosses, there are only a couple of leaders who are able to infuse passion, connection, and energy into their behaviors and actions.

But the question is, how do you actually inspire others? Well, this is exactly what we will be discussing in this article.
What Does it Mean to Inspire Others?

Inspiring others involves positively influencing those around you and motivating them towards success. Employers can practice inspiring others, regardless of their experience level or position in an organization.

How to Inspire Others at the Workplace?

Here are some ways in which you can inspire your colleagues or employees at the workplace.

1. Know What Others Want

Motivation differs for all of your employees. Each employee has a different motivation for working. Perhaps the only common thing between us is that we work to obtain something that we want or need. This something can impact our motivation and morale.

Thus, learning what employees want will help you effectively inspire motivation among your colleagues at the workplace.

2. Set Attainable Goals

How can you help a colleague or reporting staff member find motivation at the workplace? You can create an environment that offers the highest possibility for employees to attain group or individual targets.

A motivating work environment offers clear direction so that employees know what's expected of them. Along with clear direction, employees should have goals that are in line with the business's strategic framework.

3. Instill Core Values

To inspire a team, you should develop core values and practice them every day. This will help show your team that their work can lead to positive change. When deciding your core values, consider what's more important to your team in their personal and work life. Some examples of core values include:

• Creativity
• Community
• Innovation
• Hard work
• Respect

4. Build Trust

By building trust with your colleagues, you can build relationships that support growth on a team and individual level. If a colleague or employee feels they can trust you, they might be more likely to accept guidance and advice. An inspirational person makes an impact by mentoring others, and trust is vital for them to prosper. Trust between colleagues shows that they support each other through obstacles and successes with their team's best interests in mind.

5. Be Supportive

Inspirational workers are always willing to provide support to others before being asked. Providing support can effectively build a sense of community and encourage others to take on more ambitious tasks. By making resources available to others, you can inspire them to take up risks and pursue their professional growth.

6. Don’t Shy Away from Taking Responsibility

Taking responsibility for your shortcomings indicates teachability and humility that might inspire others. Particularly for those working in a managerial role, your ability to accept shortcomings and make improvements encourages others to do the same. This also showcases loyalty and dedication to your team by prioritizing team success instead of personal reputation.

7. Recognize Employees for their Hard Work

Employee recognition can boost motivation when its offered and implemented properly. It is actually one of the key ways to inspire others at the workplace successfully.

Good leaders don't need to claim all of the credit on a project to earn other people's respect. They can, in fact, inspire their team more by praising them. Recognizing when an employee is performing well and being specific in your positive feedback offers motivation and a sense of pride.
Last Few Words​
​
Inspiring employees to perform optimally requires you to see beyond the obvious in individuals. Remember, inspiration doesn't come from something that you can switch on and off. Rather, it comes from continuous behavior – triggered through various ways – that makes your employees feel that they matter and that you truly care about them.

7 Abilities Of The Third Eye

#1. Psychic Abilities
Your Third Eye will give you the ability to foresee the future. At first, you might notice some small proofs of psychic ability, such as knowing who is calling before looking at your phone. But In time, these events will become more and more spectacular and you will be amazed by your psychic ability.

#2. Clairvoyant Abilities
The Third Eye has the ability of Clairvoyance, enabling you to “see” future events in the form of visual images, called flashes.
These flashes will be shown to you whenever you need to receive information about a future event.

​It could even be a present event, which is taking place without your knowledge and the Universe wants to make you aware that it is happening. These images will be vivid and will seem very real.

#3. Powerful Intuition
Perhaps one of the most important abilities that the Third Eye has is intuition. You might be tempted to think intuition is not a big deal since everyone has it, but make no mistake, the intuition that you will have once your Third Eye opens is very powerful and will help you a lot throughout life.

#4. Lucid And Vivid Dreams
You may wonder why lucid dreams would be counted as an ability. Some dreams will bring you information about the future, such as what you need to know or what you need to do.

#5. Logical Thinking
Once your Third Eye is fully opened and you managed to overcome the initial obstacles that come with this process, your brain hemispheres will be in perfect balance and you will manage to integrate both logical and creative thinking into your day-to-day life.
Logical thinking will help you a lot with any problem-solving process you may find yourself in, and also will contribute to your mental and emotional peace and balance.

#6. Creative Thinking
The human brain can think both creatively and logically, but the school system in which we’re all educated favors logical thinking. Logical thinking is governed by the left brain hemisphere, whereas the right hemisphere is responsible for creative and intuitive thinking as well as for any psychic or clairvoyant abilities you may have. The right brain hemisphere is like a muscle, in the sense that it loses the ability to function well if it’s not used for a long time. Thus, if we do not practice creative thinking, we lose the ability to be creative.

#7. Increased Problem-Solving Skills
With improved logical and creative thinking, you will notice an increased problem-solving ability. You will be able to think analytically, weighing the pros and cons of every decision, using your left hemisphere.

​Also, you can intuitively select the best option by using your newly developed psychic and clairvoyant abilities, governed by your right hemisphere. Thus, your Third Eye will become an ally in completing your day-to-day tasks.

Third eye
​
​According to Wikipedia the third eye (also called the mind's eye or inner eye) is a mystical and esoteric invisible eye, usually depicted as located on the forehead, which provides perception beyond ordinary sight.[1] In Indian spiritual traditions, the third eye refers to the ajna (or brow) chakra.[2]
​
The third eye refers to the gate that leads to the inner realms and spaces of higher consciousness. In spirituality, the third eye often symbolizes a state of enlightenment. The third eye is often associated with religious visions, clairvoyance, the ability to observe chakras and auras,[3] precognition, and out-of-body experiences. People who are said to have the capacity to utilize their third eyes are sometimes known as seers. In Hinduism and Buddhism, the third eye is said to be located around the middle of the forehead, slightly above the junction of the eyebrows, representing the enlightenment one achieves through meditation. [4][5] Hindus also place a "tilaka" between the eyebrows as a representation of the third eye,[6] which is also seen on expressions of Shiva.[4] Buddhists regard the third eye as the "eye of consciousness", representing the vantage point from which enlightenment beyond one's physical sight is achieved, and use an urna to the same effect as Hindus.[4]

In Taoism and many traditional Chinese religious sects such as Chan (called Zen in Japanese), "third eye training" involves focusing attention on the point between the eyebrows with the eyes closed, and while the body is in various qigong postures. The goal of this training is to allow students to tune into the correct "vibration" of the universe and gain a solid foundation on which to reach a more advanced meditative state. Taoism teaches that the third eye, also called the mind's eye, is situated between the two physical eyes and expands up to the middle of the forehead when opened. Taoism asserts that the third eye is one of the main energy centers of the body located at the sixth Chakra, forming a part of the main meridian, the line separating the left and right hemispheres of the body. [7] In Taoist alchemical traditions, the third eye is the frontal part of the "Upper Dan Tien" (upper cinnabar field) and is given the evocative name "muddy pellet".

​Adherents of theosophist H. P. Blavatsky have suggested that the third eye is in fact the partially dormant pineal gland, which resides between the two hemispheres of the brain. [8] Reptiles and amphibians sense light via a third parietal eye—a structure associated with the pineal gland—which serves to regulate their circadian rhythms, and for navigation, as it can sense the polarization of light. C. W. Leadbeater thought that by extending an "etheric tube" from the third eye, it is possible to develop microscopic and telescopic vision. [3] It has been asserted by Stephen Phillips that the third eye's microscopic vision is capable of observing objects as small as quarks. [9] According to this belief, humans had in far ancient times an actual third eye in the back of the head with a physical and spiritual function. Over time, as humans evolved, this eye atrophied and sunk into what today is known as the pineal gland.[10] Rick Strassman has hypothesized that the pineal gland, which maintains light sensitivity, is responsible for the production and release of DMT (dimethyltryptamine), an entheogen which he believes possibly could be excreted in large quantities at the moments of birth and death. [11]
