You Are Only As Good As I Think You Are. This month’s theme about opposites was focused on one well-known set of opposing characteristics: Extroverts versus Introverts.

The story goes: 14 “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. 15 To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag,[a] each according to his ability.

I have started asking some of the groups I speak to to respond to this (in table conversations): “Tell the person next to you the last book you read, cover-to-cover, that was not a novel, and what you gained from reading the book.” And then I watch. Sometimes, I speak to groups filled with book… Read More “What’s the Last Book, not a novel, you read, cover-to-cover?

These quotes truly inspire me : “The three common characteristics of best companies -- they care, they have fun, they have high performance expectations.” -- Brad Hams “The one thing that's common to all successful people: They make a habit of doing things that unsuccessful people don't like to do.” -- Michael Phelps “It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit." -- Harry S.

One never forgets their first mentor. I have had several great ones, who in turn taught me the value of passing it on to others. That’s why I advise businesses, write books, speak at conferences and more. That first great mentor sticks with you always. Mine was legendary humorist and media figure Cactus Pryor. He died August 30 at the age of 88. I started working for him in 1958, at KTBC Radio in Austin, Texas.

Years ago, when I was interviewing for the job of deputy editor at Harvard Business Review , I thought I had carefully prepared for my full day of interviews. I had my favorite suit dry cleaned and ready to go. I took my older daughter (a notoriously bad sleeper) to my parents’ house so I could count on getting a full night’s sleep. I even did a dry run of the unfamiliar drive to the office on the Sunday before my interview.

Many companies struggle with digital transformation. It goes against the grain of established ways of working and is a threat to management practices that have existed for decades.

When Alfred Sloan conceived the modern corporation at General Motors, he based it on hierarchical military organizations. Companies were split into divisions, each with their own leadership. Authority flowed downwards and your rank determined your responsibility. Today, a few organizations – like Medium, David Allen Consultants, and Zappos – are adopting a radically different, approach to management: holacracy.

Andrew Nguyen/HBR STAFF. As another summer comes to a close, I find myself noticing once again that my co-workers and employees have been very reluctant to both commit to a vacation and to communicate that time off to everyone else. As CEO, I find this frustrating — it’s a waste of time to set up a client visit or an internal meeting only to hear from one of the essential participants that he or she will be on vacation.
