M y wife and I had the pleasure of being some of the leaders in the youth group at our former church. We had so many great times at the church. We also had times where we didn’t want to leave our house on a Wednesday night and show up for the kids (Sorry former students who may be reading this. It’s the truth, but it doesn’t mean we don’t love you guys!).

Lack of self-awareness is a great comfort to arrogance. It’s taken me half a life-time to see that I’m not nearly as talented as I thought. That’s not a pathetic plea for sympathy.

Like many, I was moved earlier this month by the news of David Bowie’s death and what he accomplished in his life. Last week, I shared some of my thoughts on Bowie’s innovative career and life on the Huffington Post. Thought you’d like to read them here in case you missed them there. While few of us possess the raw talent of a David Bowie, there are lessons about the practice and application of innovation that all leaders can learn from him.

When a person chooses what to read, it is indeed a personal decision. One person likes Jane Austen, another likes Jack Reacher. Let’s call that kind of reading choice a “reading for pleasure” reading choice. (Surprise, surprise – my wife and I choose different authors to read). But, there are also reading choices related to… Read More Don’t Be Haphazard in Choosing Which Books to Read – Develop a Reading Plan; a Strategic Reading Plan.

Leadership is hard and every decision a leader makes is subject to opinion. Different opinions. Lots of different opinions. Every hard decision a leader makes excites some and upsets others. At the same time, most of us who have positions of leadership want people to like us personally and in our role as a leader. We all like to be liked. This leads many leaders, however, into becoming victims of people-pleasing.

In today’s digitally driven world, companies are competing ferociously for technological skills. They believe the ability to create the hard code that makes a product come to life is at the heart of their success. Without code, after all, you merely have ideas on a napkin or a dream in your head. It’s the same with data analysts and business intelligence engineers.

We all have too much to do and too little time to do it. As a boss, you may have already learned how to plan, prioritize, and streamline your work. But how can you help your team members do the same? Should you dictate the processes and tools they use? How do you keep people from taking on too much and burning out or continuously spinning their wheels?

Skill-building requires practice. In most endeavors, those who want to improve take this as self-evident. Big tasks are routinely broken into small elements that can be worked on over and over again: scales in music, tight moguls in skiing, certain board situations in chess. Yet this rarely happens in management, even though we must develop and integrate dozens of discrete skills.

Sales force transformation can be the key to driving market-leading profits and top-line growth. But it is not for the faint-hearted, as we outline in our stories and lessons learned in our book, 7 Steps to Sales Force Transformation. A sales transformation fundamentally changes how a company sells, and it radiates across the business both vertically (e.g., align to, and drive, corporate strategy) and horizontally (e.g., must include other functions).

Sometimes the corporate culture in which we find ourselves doesn’t match our personality. Occasionally, that can lead to healthy creative friction; other times it creates painful pressure to conform. That was the situation facing one of my executive MBA students. “I’m having a problem at work,” she told me. “I keep getting feedback that I’m distant, and I think it’s harming my career.” The reason she was getting that response, she admitted, is that

These days, the majority of a company’s employees are networked together on social media sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram. They no doubt also have important vendors, customers, and future customers among their contacts. That’s why understanding, modeling, and measuring your employee network should be a key ingredient in your company’s strategic HR decisions.

The New York City Department of Consumer Affairs (NYDCA) recently released a well-researched report documenting similar products having different prices based on the target customer’s gender. Target, for instance, charged $24.99 for a red scooter and $49.99 for a scooter that appeared to be identical — except for its pink color. (Note: that’s a 100% difference!
