C300 BSc (Hons) 3 years
QMUL has a strong record of research achievement in understanding the structure, physiology, ecology and behaviour of animals – from microscopic creatures to turtles and bats. Our programme will give you an overview of modern zoological thinking, including a strong emphasis on the underlying concepts that shape our understanding of animal diversity. As a zoology student, you will get a thorough grounding in vertebrate and invertebrate biology, including physiology, behaviour, evolution and ecology. Modules in molecular and population genetics, ecology, statistics and immunology are also available.
We place a strong emphasis on fieldwork, with compulsory and option modules taking students to locations across the UK and internationally, including:
- Studying tropical ecology in Kruger Park, South Africa - View Dr Rob Knell's photos of Kruger Park
- Hunting dinosaur fossils in Canada - View photos from the field trip to Canada
- Studying predator-prey interactions in Somerset
You can view more photos from our recent field trips on our Flickr page. Details of field trip costs are in the struture tab.
- Hands-on experience from field trips
- Wide array of second and third year option modules
Important discoveries
On a recent trip to Canada, as part of the option final year module Species and their relationships: dinosaurs to DNA, students made an important dinosaur discovery. The rare hadrosaur skull they unearthed is now housed in the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Pathology. Watch our video from the trip:
Student projects
Students have the option of taking an investigative or research project in your final year. For many students, this is the highlight of their time with us, giving them an opportunity to work alongside established researchers in the field. The Natural History Museum, London Zoo, Forest Enterprise and London University's Marine Biological Station at Millport in Scotland all provide special opportunities for original investigative work.
Research and teaching
By choosing to study at a Russell Group university, you will have access to excellent teaching and top class research. You will be taught by staff who are actively involved in research, who are enthusiastic about their subjects and sharing their knowledge with you.
You can find out more about our research interests on Organismal Biology department page.

Field trips
This programme includes several option modules with a field course component. These modules generally require your attendance at a location away from Queen Mary and outside of the normal teaching semesters.
We do everything we can to minimise any additional costs that may be incurred during your studies. Complusory fieldwork will not cost you anything extra. For optional overseas fieldwork, you will need to contribute up to £150, plus the cost of your flight (based on costs in the year 2016/17). Full and partial bursaries are available. Destinations can vary year-on-year, are subject to availability and depend on the modules you choose. If you are interested in attending a field trip, you can discuss this with your personal academic advisor (every student is assigned an advisor once they start with us).
Entry requirements
- A-levels: Typically ABB and above at A2 level from three subjects including biology
- International Baccalaureate: 34 points overall including grade 5 in biology (Higher Level)
- BTEC: We do not accept BTEC qualifications
- Access to HE Diploma: We will consider applications from students with the Access to HE Diploma (60 credit in a science discipline e.g. biology, chemistry, maths, physics). We take all aspects of your UCAS application into careful consideration; we look at the merits of your personal statement, academic reference, predicted grades and actual grades, and, due to the high volume of applications, we do not make offers purely on the basis of meeting the grade requirements. The minimum academic requirement is to achieve an overall Pass, with 45 credits at Level 3, of which 30 credits must be at Distinction and 15 credits at Merit or higher.
All applications are considered by our admissions tutors on a case-by-case basis, and this may mean we would request an interview.
Visit our frequently asked questions page for answers to our commonly received queries about entry requirements.
Non-UK students
Students from outside the United Kingdom must give evidence of their English language ability by producing an English language test score. The university provides guidelines for English requirements for all degree programmes.
Foundation programme
Students may enter this degree programme via admission to the QMUL Science and Engineering Foundation Programme. Students must complete the foundation year and meet the required progression criteria.

Learning and teaching
All our programmes involve a mixture of classroom activities and laboratory work. A variety of teaching styles are employed, which vary slightly among modules and programmes. Most material is delivered via lectures. These last around 50 minutes each and, typically, you would have two lectures per day.
Lectures are backed up with small-group tutorials and workshops, where you have the opportunity to ask, in a relatively relaxed and small group setting, about material in lectures that you did not understand, to go through problems and practise past exam papers.
In general, lectures, tutorials and workshops take place in the mornings and laboratory classes in the afternoons.
A typical weekly workload would be:
- 6-8 one-hour lectures
- 4-5 hours of practical laboratories or workshops
- 20-25 hours of private study/coursework.
Independent study:
For every hour spent at University you will be expected to complete additional hours of independent study. Your individual study time could be spent preparing for, or following up on formal study sessions; reading; assessing data from experiments; completing lab reports; and revising for examinations.
The direction of your individual study will be guided by the formal study and laboratory sessions you attend, along with your reading and assignments. However, we expect you to demonstrate an active role in your own learning by reading widely and expanding your own knowledge, understanding and critical ability. Independent study will foster in you the ability to identify your own learning needs and determine which areas you need to focus on to become proficient in your subject area. This is an important transferable skill and will help to prepare you for the transition to working life.
For all programmes you must take 120 credits (normally eight modules) in each academic year. Each module is assessed through theory examinations (typically accounting for 75-80 per cent of the final mark) and coursework (for example, practical reports, field course reports, essays, problem sheets, online exercises and tests).
Examinations normally last two and a half hours for first and second years and three hours for final-year papers. Final-year students undertake a research project/investigative project or equivalent worth 15 or 30 credits; these are assessed with a detailed written report, poster and an interview.
The main examination period is in May/June, with deferred exams and resits in August for first- and second-year students. The format of undergraduate examinations varies among programmes and may include multiple choice questions (MCQ), extended matching questions (EMQ), short answer questions, problem solving or case-based exercises, and essays.

Charlotte Bell, Zoology BSc, class of 2007
Currently working as: Consultant Ecologist at The Environmental Dimension Partnership
- Why did you choose Queen Mary?
"I was impressed by the School's links with London Zoo, Natural History Museum and the Aquarium. I also wanted to experience living in London."
- Did you encounter any difficulties securing this job, and how did you get over them?
"It can be an immensely difficult career to get into. I started by sending letters to all the ecological and environmental consultancies asking for work experience. I also did voluntary work for my local wildlife trust and joined my local bat group and reptile and amphibian group. I managed to get some work with a local ecologist helping out with bat surveys, and later on with newt and reptile surveys, and from there, got other part-time and short-term contract work during the survey seasons. I just stuck at it, and two years later I finally landed my first permanent ecological consultant job."
- What does your current job involve day-to-day?
"The summer months are very busy for ecologists. Any development has to have protected species surveys completed prior to planning permission being granted. So I normally have two or three reptile surveys, bat roost assessments, dusk/dawn bat surveys, great crested newt surveys between March and June, water vole and otter surveys, and dormouse surveys. In addition to the surveys I have to write reports, ecological advice notes and proposals."
- What can current students do to prepare for getting a job in your area?
"Get as much work experience as you can. Ecologists will always need help in the survey season with field work – particularly with bat, reptile and newt surveys."
Jemma Mary Brett, Zoology BSc, class of 2016
- What do you enjoy most about your course?
"The modules are diverse, ranging from molecular to organismal, which provides a thorough grounding in the study of the life sciences. All of the lecturers are very knowledgeable and are always happy to answer questions."
- What's it like being a student in London?
"It's great to be a zoology student in London as you are able to visit places that are close by such as: ZSL London Zoo, Richmond Park and the Natural History Museum, to name but a few."
- What do you think of the services at QMUL?
"The facilities on campus are excellent; there are quiet study areas within the library and also separate rooms for completing group work. The library stocks a wide range of books both on the shelves and electronically. The School of Biological and Chemical Sciences has several laboratories which are fully equipped and modern which is great for when you have sessions in the lab."
- How do you think your QMUL qualification will help your future career?
"After I finish my degree at QMUL, my ultimate goal is to study Graduate Veterinary Medicine. I feel confident as QMUL has given me a good grounding in the life sciences. Coming to QMUL has been the best decision that I have ever made."
Constance Flora Chapman, Zoology BSc, class of 2017
- What do you enjoy most about your course?
"My degree has taught me things that will help me in the future, especially experience of fieldwork that will help me stand out against other candidates. I feel like QMUL really takes into consideration not just teaching you all the basic science knowledge you need to go into your career, but also gives you the opportunity to really know what your career could involve on a practical level."
- What's it like being a student in London?
"Everything is on your doorstep; you're surrounded by so many resources that can really help in your degree, from the range of libraries and museums and labs, to simply just experiencing the hustle and bustle of London life."
- What do you think of the services at QMUL?
"The labs in the SBCS building are all very snazzy; all seem to have very up to date equipment and endless supplies for the experiments that we do."
- How do you think your QMUL qualification will help your future career?
"QMUL really does give you opportunities and compulsory parts of your degree that are going to make you stand out - the little life lessons that really start making you think about your career path and let you test the waters of different scientific career paths."
- What do you enjoy most about your course?
"There are a lot of lecturers that really value your opinion and working alongside you. They always take your questions into account and find a way to get the message across. So many of them will go out of their way to help you and guide you and that is so important for young people who are trying find their way in the world."

This pattern was a joy to make in whatever type of wool I used.
Posted by Judy Draper on 29th Mar 2016
This pattern is beautiful made up and the hat is very comfortable to wear. The pattern is easy to follow and I will be using it for many years.
Posted by Sharon on 21st Feb 2016
This hat knits up very quickly and is a super cute style. I have made two so far in a wool and mohair yarn and plan to make more in other yarns. This makes a great gift.
Posted by Unknown on 16th Feb 2016
This hat made up quickly and was fun to do. I have already made two of them. I like the slouchy style.
Posted by LG on 10th Feb 2016
Once I started knitting this piece I couldn't stop. I recomment this to any level knitter.
Posted by CW on 9th Feb 2016
Pattern works up quickly and looks like the photo when done. The more intricate stitch is pretty and diverts attention from a "bad hair day". Using a smaller needle size helped to make the ribbing more elastic and the hat fit better on a smaller head.
Posted by LK on 8th Feb 2016
I knitted this hat last month (Jan 2016) for my daughter-in-law. The pattern was very easy to follow (which, as any knitter knows, isn't always the case!). The finished product is beautiful! The recipient loves it! :-)
Posted by Unknown on 31st Jan 2016
Was fun and easy to do.
Posted by Unknown on 11th Dec 2015
easy pattern to use. Looks great.
Posted by Frances on 26th Feb 2015
This is my fourth project. I made two scarves, one simple hat, and saw this hat and wanted to make it for gifts for family and for myself. I had to pay attention the whole time, but I finished it in yarn I had at home, acrylic med wt. It looks good to me, but I know that it would be better in the yarn recommended. Now that I know I can do it, I'll buy the good yarn. I made the slouchy version.

About the Property
Located on private retreat overlooking quarries. Many amenities. Walking trails.
Come for a retreat and let your mind rest in the heart where heaven touches earth!
Henry David was speaking about his visit to Light Heart when he said:
Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads. Henry David Thoreau
Please visit the official Light Heart Retreat website on line for additional photos, specials, and a deeper feel for what we have to offer you. Our site carries the magic of the Light Heart Retreat energy.
The Blackberry Cottage beckons you to nourish your soul here in the peace, solitude and beauty that abounds on 100 acres of water filled crystalline granite quarries and old growth forest at Light Heart Retreat. This is a wonderful abode for writers and creatives, as well as nature lovers. Those who find themselves deeply needing rest and restoration, clarity and inspiration will receive what they seek here and more.
Cheery, cozy, comfortable...that's the Blackberry Cottage. The Blackberry heats with a glass fronted parlor stove, sufficient to the coldest days of the year and perfect for a chilly Maine morning. The full kitchen has a pine dining nook, island and pantry. The ample windows provide bird and animal sitings, including the hummingbirds that frequent the window boxes.
There's a queen size bed in the east facing bedroom. The built in couch in the living room serves as a second bed for a friend. One of our guests prefers it, as she can go to sleep by the light of the parlor stove. This might also serve as a bed for a child who is old enough to have close proximity to the water.
The kitchen is well equipped for cooking, baking even, and there's a roomy shower in the bathroom with plenty of hot water.
The Blackberry Cottage will keep you well contented if the weather keeps you indoors. There are the usual games and you're set up to watch DVD's. There's a wonderful little free-standing library with movies and books. And there's more...a wood fired sauna on the large quarry, walking trails, swimming, canoeing and fishing (catch and release). Your fire circle is located on a natural granite patio overlooking the quarries.
And more still...a meditation hut sitting high on the cliff side of Bragdon Quarry and the Sacred Stone Circle, another fine place for meditating, sending out your prayers and intentions.
You can travel the world and never find a place like Light Heart Retreat!
Light Heart Retreat is sanctuary for the nature lover's soul and it tends to bring out the kid in our guests. We love to see them on the big swing!
Light Heart retreat is private, peaceful, secluded while being just 2 miles from Route 1 North. Owner is on site to answer questions. The only other guests will be at the Huckleberry Hideaway and the two cottages and owner's home are all situated for privacy and the area around each cottage is private to it.
The Blackberry will serve you very well. If you like more space and would enjoy the luxury of an outdoor hot tub, you may want to see #153078, the Huckleberry Hideaway which accommodates one or two couples. Both these cottages are for adults only.
Light Heart Retreat is located centrally for day trips to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, Blue Hill Peninsula, Camden/Rockport/Rockland, Lubec, Eastport and Campabello.
Please see our website for more photos and don't miss the special attractions page and slideshows of the cottages.
The Blackberry Cottage is available for month long retreats outside the months of July and August.Call owner to discuss specifics of a 4 week stay.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2004
About the owner: David Buell and Joanna Pinney Buell are the hard-working stewards of a very special place on planet earth, called Light Heart Retreat. David is a stone artisan, gifted pianist, poet and inspired gardener. Joanna has many years in the holistic and spiritual healing field, is an awesome cook, gardener, writer and designed the retreat houses and their own home, at Light Heart Retreat. Together David and Joanna share a deep love and respect for nature, of the Great Spirit and of humanity. They delight in seeing the transformations that happen for the guests of Light Heart Retreat. *David passed away in 2015. His beautiful walking trails and stoneworks, including the the Sacred Stone Circle of Intention, exude peace and beauty. David's tag line for his granite business was "Don't take life for granite." He didn't. He lived it to the fullest!
Why the Owner Chose Sullivan, ME, USA:
We designed and built this cottage to accommodate a writer who wanted to spend 6 months in our large, family cottage (no longer available). We didn't want the families to lose out and saw a need for a second cottage that could serve an individual or couple on retreat. It was in our hearts to share this special place where we live with kindred spirits and that we have! The Blackberry Cottage is a great value at its price. Guests have all the same benefits that the guests of the larger Huckleberry Hideaway cottage, except they don't have the outdoor hot tub. All guests may enjoy the wood-fired sauna, the forest trails, swimming in the quarries, canoeing, fishing, the holistic reading and media library and their own campfire pit. And let us not forget the magnificent and mystical standing stone circle...and meditation hut...and David's granite sculptures...Joanna's really good home-baked bread. This location is very accessible to the best that Downeast Maine has to offer, too.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
The Blackberry Cottage is a great find and value with so much more to offer being part of Light Heart Retreat and sharing in retreat amenities. It's private and secluded while only 2 miles from Rte. 1. The Blackberry Cottage, overlooks the blue quarry water on it's east side and overlooks a lawn, filled with daisies in June to the west with a long view to hills and Taunton Bay. One of our guests looked out the kitchen window to see a doe and her fawn grazing the lawn. Another spotted a moose in the driveway at 5 AM. Turkeys, otters, mink, deer...Osprey, eagles, falcons and warblers all enjoy visiting the retreat. We list 2 patios and there is actually a third. We've located the fire pit on a natural granite patio, overlooking the quarry, just a few steps from the backdoor of the Blackberry. Nothing like sitting by a fire and watching the sky for shooting stars and seeing the stars reflected bigger than life in the quarry water. And did I mention the summer serenade of the frogs? A stay at the Blackberry cottage is wonder-filled! Romantic for a couple, safe for a single woman on retreat with owners on site. Owner is here if needed and utterly respectful of privacy otherwise. There really in no place like Light Heart Retreat. Where can you go on retreat, have the comfort of a well designed retreat house, privacy, quiet, solitude, beauty, beauty, beauty...a wood-fired sauna, library and not be sharing it with 30 or more other guests? Where can you go and be able to use Cannabis Medicine when you have a permit to do so? If your state isn't on board yet and you're seeking treatment you can apply for a Medical Cannabis card in Maine. There's a dispensary 25 minutes away. Owner, Joanna Pinney Buell has 30 years experience in the spiritual/energy/holistic arts and as The Dowsing Deva, has services to support your healing path.

Peaceful Stay in the Keys!
If you want to relax, this is the place for you. Very peaceful neighborhood right on the ocean. You can fish, kayak, and snorkel right from your dock. We caught loads of fish from the dock including large snapper and barracuda. You have your own small personal pool and hot tub. We actually saw no neighbors on either side of us for the entire week. Great view of the ocean and the sunsets were amazing. Convenient area for restaurants and shops. If you have your own boat, there is a deep water dock. You cannot access the fourth bedroom from the house without going outside to a private entrance. This might be a plus or minus, however you look at it.
A week in paradise
My husband, our five children and I had a wonderful week in the keys. We relaxed by the water, but mostly enjoyed all of the activities available to us. We went snorkeling, swimming, paddle-boarding, fishing and kayaking. We even rented a charter boat and went deep-sea fishing...and ate our catch for dinner!
I would recommend this rental. It was clean and private.
This is an excellent home
This property had the most fantastic view of any place that we have stayed in the past 11 years. The house is very nice, with a screened in porch that is very large, where you could eat your meals if you wished. The family room/dining room is very large and comfortable also. This home is also convenient for shopping and restaurants and is located on a quiet street. We are looking forward to returning next year.
Like the title states this property has amazing sunsets! The private dock provided hours of fun whether it be fishing or just watching the all the different fishes in the water. The property was well maintained and clean inside and out. The pool was clean and warm. There was plenty of room for everyone, we had eight family members in the house at once and each had their own space. Mary and Gabby were very helpful after we realized we left some clothes at the house. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay on Marathon.
Amazing Property
We had a wonderful time at this great house. Having the dock, pool and hot tub just steps from the house was great. Plenty of room for all 8 of us. Mary was very helpful in getting us the right property to rent, which met all of our needs and Gabby couldn't of been more helpful and nice! Needed dish soap and she had it delivered to the house within an hour. Very clean property in a great location! Will definitely rent through Dolphin rentals on our next trip to the Keys!
Relaxing Keys Vacation
What a great week we had in the Florida Keys. We stayed in this wonderful house that came with everything we needed. Having a pool, dock, kayaks and paddle boards at our fingertips made the stay so much more enjoyable. Oh, and there was even a hot tub. We fished off the dock, started our day with a snorkel relaxed in the sun and just had a great week. This house was the perfect location too, central to everything we needed or wanted in the Keys.
Activity and Interests
Shopping, restuarants, and state parks are minutes away.
Plan a dive or snorkel trip to the coral reef or visit beaches.
You won't want to miss Pigeon Key, the Sea Turtle Hospital, the Museum of Natural History, and the famous Seven Mile Bridge.

Maintaining and promoting healthy cognitive functions, of which memory is a most important one, is one of the major goals of mental health research. Diseases, stress, injury and aging can lead to cognitive and memory impairments. It is estimated that up to one third of adults will experience a gradual decline in cognitive function known as mild cognitive impairment as they age. Furthermore, a number of diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, autism, mental retardation are associated with memory impairments. Thus, minimizing or preventing cognitive and memory impairments is a very important goal in mental health. A principal approach toward this goal is to understand the physiological mechanisms of memory formation, persistence and storage and identify molecular mechanisms and targets that can be used to enhance memory, not only for potentiating normal functions but also for developing strategies that may prevent or reverse memory loss. Newly learned information that will become a long-term memory remains in a labile state for some time and becomes a long- term memory through a process of stabilization, known as memory consolidation. Using contextual fear conditioning types of memories in rats, we have recently found that hippocampal administration of the growth factor insulin like growth factor 2 (IGF-2) leads to potent memory enhancement and also increases memory persistence. Using inhibitory avoidance (IA) and other tasks like fear extinction and social transmission of food preference in rats and mice, this proposal aims at identifying the molecular mechanisms and brain circuitry of the IGF-2-mediated memory consolidation and enhancement. It will also test whether other members of the IGF system (IGF-1 and insulin) have memory-enhancing effects. Finally, with preclinical and translational goals in mind, given that IGF-2 readily passes the blood brain barrier, it will determine whether systemic treatments with IGF-2 are effective in enhancing memories retention and persistence and whether the IGF-2-dependent effect alters memory flexibility. Results from these studies should advance our knowledge of neural mechanisms that may be employed to achieve memory enhancement and to treat cognitive impairments.
Capitalizing on recent findings from our ongoing project using rats and mice as animal models, this project continuation aims at identifying the mechanisms by which insulin like growth factor 2 (IGF-2), IGF-1 and insulin promote memory consolidation, enhancement and persistence in adult animals. The results of these studies should lead to the understanding of mechanisms of memory consolidation and enhancement and the discovery of novel tools and targets important for strengthening normal memories and reducing the progression of memory decay and/or reversing memory loss in diseases. Preventing or rescuing cognitive and memory loss, is a most important goal in mental health research.

One Day in Stockholm
I spent a couple of hours with my computer. Helpful friendly staff, made coffee exactly to my taste. Good range of healthy sandwiches and salads including vegan options. Well worth a visit.
The coffee was very strong even my swedish friend said so.....
Most importantly i felt insulted to go to the toilet and have Saint Mary painted on the wall looking at a bag of money.
Very disrespectful and rude I don't insult anyone who is aethist or any religion neither should you. Putting something religious in a bathroom is just...
Hipsters - yes! It's almost getting ridicolous these days, but if you over look that the coffee and service is great.
I've had more caffein than I care to remember here and it's a place I always suggest when meeting up with someone on the South side,
The decore is laid back, minimalistic shabby chic ;-) what more can be...
A great little stop for a small meal or cup of coffee. Loved sitting on the sidewalk watching the world go by! Great place to open the laptop and relax for a few moments. Opens at 8am.
Lovely haloumi salad and coffee in a friendly and trendy area of Stockholm. The staff and customers were welcoming.
Relaxed atmosphere with cool and trendy people hanging around. A lot of vegetarian salads, sandwiches and quesadillas. If you are lucky, you might catch the dj playing soft music during weekends.
I have a problem to rate this place. Because i like this place much, but at to be honest, their filtercoffee is just terrible. You get better from 7-eleven. I dont wonder why it's called voodoo kaffe.
Two times i've been here. Both times i've enjoyed the general atmosphere in this personally decorated cafe, also liked their taste of music....
Inspired by the Trashmens song this is not only a rock'n'roll place. Actually it's more of a cool café selling records and playing a mix of what's trendy in Södermalm - rock, punk, reggae, ska, soul etc - natural sounds :-) But the interior is really nice and the staff is really nice too! Worth a visit - in a...
Nice atmoshere for an evening drink if lazy start if the day! Locale spend there time here with friends. Good price, good service.
We were looking for coffee on an early sunday morning and found Louie Louie, it was a blessing. They served great coffee and their lime cake was delicious.
It was very quiet but it was early on a Sunday morning.

It didn't take long to find the Atari ST version of the Sundog game I posted about yesterday. Thanks to reader Charlene for the headsup on where to download Sundog. This is the Atari version of Sundog that was originally released on both the Apple II and the Atari ST. I had it up and running in about 5 minutes with the great free Atari ST emulator Steem. The gameplay on the Atari version looks very similar to the Apple version although the graphics are not quite as good. I'm going to try to find an Apple II version next. CORRECTION: The more I play the Atari version the more I realize the graphics are actually as good as the Apple version and in some areas even better. The beauty of the Atari version becomes apparent when you play it with the mouse. Everything can be controlled with the two buttons on the mouse which is much improved over the keyboard control of the Apple version. Here's a screen from Sundog: Frozen Legacy:
Sundog lives!
no longer downloadable at link given above :( Still looking.

It's aimed for video, the D800 does not have this feature.
I've heard that recording video in crop mode gives the best possible video output of the D4.

I remember reading that the D4 does not support that crop as you would end up with too few pixels.
I was wrong, there is a crop mode of 2.7 but it is in video mode giving 1920x1080. I think you can record a still at this resolution.

Overcoming organizational paralysis
Paralysis – what a horrible thought. What if you found yourself in a situation in which you had partial or complete loss of motion and sensation in your body?
What if you were powerless or incapable of moving? Wouldn't it be awful if you found yourself in a situation in which you knew you had all the appropriate limbs, plus the desire for movement, but still couldn't move? Paralysis is not something any of us wants to experience or even think about. We all want the pipeline between our head and body working at full capacity.
Paralysis happens not only in the physical body, it also happens in organizations. I was having lunch with my banker and we were discussing the business climate today and how it's changing. Since both of us work with leaders, we began talking about their reactions to the changing climate. The conversation drifted to how some leaders actually de-energize their people when circumstances become overwhelming. He made a statement that seemed to sum up our lunch discussion: "When the market gets rough, some leaders become paralyzed, which paralyzes the company."
"When the market gets rough, some leaders become paralyzed, which paralyzes the company."
The Leader Influences the Company
The analogy between physical paralysis and organizational paralysis assumes that like the head influences the body, the leader influences the organization. Leaders have incredible influence over the energy of a company. This influence becomes apparent when a leader becomes so overwhelmed that the company loses direction. Lack of direction causes organizational paralysis, which creates confusion, frustration, or irritation in the leader and affects the morale of the whole company. This is especially true if these behaviors cause the leader to blame those charged with producing results.
When employees begin to feel the effects of leadership frustration, they translate it into "Why try, we're not respected or valued for what we think or do anyway." Leader frustration and employees feeling disrespected result in a vicious "dance" that drains enterprise energy. Decreasing enterprise energy causes performance and productivity to end up in the pits.
Lack of direction causes organizational paralysis.
The following stories illustrate the influence of leadership. One of my clients is a manufacturing company executive who faces the same world market circumstances as other organizations. At the beginning of 2002 he had a meeting with all of his key players to discuss what he wanted to see happen during the year. His opening remarks were realistic concerning the difficult market, customer needs, and the challenges of the economy. However, after he finished sharing the economic "facts," he said, "Now, this year we are going to refuse to participate in all the negative stuff going around. The biggest opportunity we have is to succeed in this changing market, which will mean we have to work a little harder."
What Tom Edwards, CEO of A.J. Weller Company, committed to was an understanding that they couldn't control the outside influences, but they could control their own mental attitude about that market. Edwards' company ended 2002 with a 15 percent increase in sales. His belief is that "things aren't bad, there're just different." Edwards helped his people focus on two things: a clear goal and building enterprise energy into everything they did.
Contrast Edwards' determination with another company leader who openly and consistently expressed his frustration and confusion about how to handle the present decline in market share. As this leader's frustration increased, so did his ability to absolutely drain the energy of his people. Employees, knowing they were going to get one more verbal beating for not performing well, looked on each meeting with dread. Criticism of slow cost reductions, performance, and results was a key part of each meeting. The energy of the organization was steadily drained until many of the long-term employees talked about leaving the company.
Any time leaders take frustration out on employees, they drain the very energy it takes to create the performance and results they want. I like what Benjamin Franklin said, "A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle." Getting too wrapped up in the circumstances and reacting negatively will make a very, very small package.
Morale Is the Result of Leadership Energy
Another statesman and warrior, Dwight D. Eisenhower, said this about the success of an army (or a nation or a company): "Morale is the greatest single factor in successful wars." How does a leader keep morale high during these "different" times? I believe part of the answer is in how the leader views the market and how he or she challenges employees. Here are some leadership energy tips to consider:
- Be careful about labeling situations or people (unless it's a good label). What you label you define, what you define you produce. If you label disillusionment and defeat, people will focus on that and drive their energy to create it. When I had a psychology practice years ago, I learned that when I labeled people, they tended to live up to the label. If I told someone he had depressive neurosis, he learned all the symptoms and began experiencing them. If you are going to label something or someone, make sure it serves the person or the situation in a positive way. This also includes labeling yourself – don't spend much time on "I'm not suited for this" or "I've made a lot of mistakes" or "I didn't want this job anyway." What you label you live up to!
- Real life situations are the classrooms for leadership. Education is great, but experiences teach. We've all attended training and leadership development programs. Although many of these are good, the real classrooms are the daily grinds and firefights in business. They provide leaders with hands-on learning, even if some of the lessons are learned through error. After all, it's the mistakes we make that provide us with the greatest opportunity to grow. Walter Wriston, former chairman of Citibank, said it best: "Good judgment is the result of experience, and experience is the result of bad judgment."
Not long ago I read that great wars make great presidents. Facing the war of economics and a difficult marketplace sets the stage for an average leader to develop into a great leader. The boss has to keep his or her energy high, and one way to do this is to accept the present situation as an opportunity to grow.
Accept the present situation as an opportunity to grow.
- Courtesy builds energy. Accepting people as the experts who create the success of the company requires that the leader be courteous to and respectful of those on the team. We're courteous to people we respect. Courtesy provides the glue that bonds team members to one another. Everyone responds to the simple courtesy that our mothers taught us. Remember her admonition: "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." Courtesy builds energy, produces great benefits, and costs nothing.
- I never promised you a rose garden. Remember that old song? When I was in high school I had a shop teacher who understood this perfectly. One day I was complaining to this teacher about all the work I had to do. Mr. Stack's reply was concise and memorable: "Rausch, get off the stage. No one said you would get everything you wanted." Regrettably, we don't get everything we thinkwe want or deserve. The road is not always easy, and the market is not always good.
Leaders have the responsibility to communicate perseverance to the troops. Jim Collins stated in his book Good to Great(concerning what he calls the Stockdale Paradox), "Retain absolute faith that you can and will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties, and at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality."
- Give respect to everyone because everyone deserves it. Anyone who is part of your team deserves respect, from the bargaining unit people to the top managers. If you can't respect a person then it's time to "free up her time" so she can find a place where she is respected. One of the most de-energizing behaviors is when employees realize that their leader has certain people on his black list, especially if you happen to be one of those people. Either the leader has to develop a better opinion of the person, which is often the case, or that person needs to find a company with a leader who will.
Last, look for every opportunity to build energy in the troops. The vibrant, successful organization looks for ways to energize its employees. In the words of one of my clients, "Enterprise energy and the direction of that energy are the key to the success of that organization."
More to come on how to build energy to create the performance and productivity you are looking for.

It's not needed since the enhancement process doesn't require any instantiated plugins beyond the MetaDataRepository, which is already instantiated in the constructor. (And I'm not even sure whether the ClassTransformer has to be threadsafe anyway -- the only reason we usually use instantiateAll() is to do up-front instantiation of singleton plugins to avoid locking and avoid lazy-instantiation threading issues.)
