A client called: “Karin I’m going to send you the job description for the new role we designed, but ignore all the HR mumbo jumbo,” just concentrate on the competencies and see if they seem right to you based on the strategy we’ve been working on.” Game on. We were going to have the conversation that was most worth having: How do we find the right person with the aptitude for this vital job.

As I joined the many who enthusiastically celebrated the launch of Co-Active Leadership: Five Ways to Lead by Henry and Linda Kimsey-House over the past week, I also chose to take another look at their earlier book: Co-Active Coaching: Changing Business, Transforming Lives. Both books reflect a deeply human approach to their topics, with a strong emphasis on the relationships which create strength and opportunity for all involved.

I loved the idea for the new Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro movie The Intern. In it, Hathaway’s company wanted to infuse old-school wisdom into their budding internet business. They do this by bringing in new interns. These interns aren’t what we normally think of when we think of an intern. Rather, these interns are older individuals looking to contribute to the success of a new company, About The Fit.

Like a lot of Americans, I spent a lot of last week transfixed by the coverage of Pope Francis’ trip to the United States. I’m not Catholic, but found myself moved by his words and images several times. The pictures were what really got me. The look of joy of people in the crowds as Francis passed by or moved to touch them was unadulterated. The happy grin of the Pope as he waved to the crowds out the back window of his Fiat as it left Andrews Air Force Base was priceless.

You may not see the importance of authentic conversations at work. That’s understandable because you (think) they consume valuable time and you don’t get rewarded for talking with people. Meeting organizational goals, hiring, firing, managing performance and the boss may seem like the most significant things to do. These are vital, but think about it: none of these things get done without people and they all require conversation.

Being successful as a leader can be hard. As demands on leaders increase, there is less time to focus on making the changes you need to make to do the job successfully. It’s a significant challenge to overcome because as more is expected of you, you find you have less time for development, and yet, improving your leadership skills is more important than ever.

A consultant asked me the following question: Other than keeping my business afloat in lean times (what I think you call “bread & butter” business), are there any good reasons to take subcontracting work? Here is the answer I gave the consultant: There are at least three reasons to take sub-contracting gigs beyond their value as bread & butter: 1) to learn a valuable new skill that you’ll be able to leverage to grow your own practice; 2) to work on a marquee client that you can then publ

What would the perfect robot manager be like? Looks aside, it would arguably be objective, transparent, unselfish, and apolitical. Because of this, it would assign the right task to every person and reward unselfish team behaviors, creating a culture of trust and keeping morale high. It would monitor individual and team performance with the precision of the best quantified-self app, and provide real-time feedback to boost everybody’s productivity.

STEVEN MOORE FOR HBR. Benjamin Graham , the father of value investing, seldom met the managers of the companies he invested in because he felt they would tell him only what they wished him to hear and because he didn’t want to be influenced by impressions of personality. His talented student, the legendary Warren Buffet, thought the same: “ when management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business tha

HBR STAFF. You have to hand it to Apple. What other company incites such a frenzy when it releases an updated version of its product? The recent iPhone 6S release went as expected: winding lines of eager consumers at Apple stores and fevered media coverage. Apple announced over 13 million units were sold during that first weekend. While strong reviews fueled consumer interest, credit should also be given to Apple’s new iPhone Upgrade Purchase Plan.

“Paying for value” is one of the most overused tropes in health care today. It is also the least well understood, because its meaning is manipulated by each stakeholder. To those who pay the bills — employers, health plans, and even the government — value often means paying as little as possible for services. To patients, many of whom do not pay the full price of the care that they receive, value often means better outcomes regardless of cost.
