Biography

[edit]

Simon Landau Dolan born to holocaust survivors parents. His father David of Polish origin [8] worked as a medical doctor in the Negev Kibbutzim, and his mother Lola, was a beautician. He grew up in Beit Eshel, and later in Ness Ziona. [8]

He served in the IDF as a combat paramedic in the Armored Corps. [9]

Simon's younger brother, Avishai Landau, followed his footsteps, graduated with a master's degree in the department of labor studies at Tel Aviv University. [10]

Studies

[edit]

In 1968, upon completion of his military service, Dolan studied for an undergraduate degree at Tel Aviv University and graduated in 1971. [11]

Between the years 1971-1973, he continued his graduate studies in the department of Labor studies, with a specialization in human resource management. At the same time studied for a master's degree in organizational behavior at the Leon Recanati Graduate School of Business Administration. [11]

While studying for an accredited degree, he moved to the University of Minnesota, in the United States and continued his studies in the doctoral program. He was at the University of Minnesota between 1973-1977, and graduated with a master degree in 1976 and a doctorate in 1977 in the fields of organizational psychology and human resource management. [12]

Academic research

[edit]

During his studies in Minnesota , he was involved in research at the Mayo Clinic. [13] [14] There, he discovered that almost 90% of the patients who survived their first heart attack and had no prior history of coronary heart disease, attributed the heart attack to their work situation and especially to work stress. [15]

Managing by values

[edit]
The triple value model

At the same time, he developed the management model acronymed "Managing by values", which deals with shaping organizational culture through the identification of the most important shared values of the organization. [16] [17] The model identifies three axes of values: Ethical axis of values, economic axis of values and emotional-developmental axis of values in a triaxial structure ("the Dolan 3-Es Triaxial Model of Values"). [18]

In this model, the value of trust was identified as the "value of values" (mega-value) which is a central axis for maintaining balanced and sustainable healthy organization.[19] Similarly, it applies to sustain effective leadership. Any incongruencies in a person’s triaxial model of values results in chronic stress was identified and also is dysfunctional to maintain a work-family balance. [20]

Stress and burnout management

[edit]

At the same time, he developed the "Chronic Stress Management" model, which eventually led to the development of a diagnostic tool acronym: The Stress Map.[21] The latter deals with mapping of the sources of stress (in work and non-work contexts), the modulating variables, consequences in terms of signs (physiological and biological) and symptoms (psychological and somatic) measured by a new algorithm called density (frequency multiplied by severity). [22]This diagnostic tool is based on principles of gamification, enabling individuals, families, teams, and organizations to develop corresponding strategies of resilience. [23][24]
