Mr. Hightower was not a very nice man. His cold countenance was so tight it appeared even a faint smile would shatter his face. I was reading a bedtime story to my kid brother and he asked, “What’s a troll?” When I told him that a troll was a very short Mr. Hightower, he immediately understood the imagery.

T HE NUMBER ONE REASON most companies do not have a leadership culture is their current leadership, writes Mark Miller in Leaders Made Here. This occurs for a number of reasons: They don’t see the immediate need, they don’t understand how or are too busy to do it, they don’t walk the talk, and their own insecurities. Leadership cultures are built from the top down.

Forbes, March 15, 2017 : Leaders don’t have to know everything. Yes, having a quick, or solid answer has probably gotten most managers to where they are today. But what if an employee seeks guidance on a project or issue that’s out of your expertise? Are you supposed to wing it or segue from the topic to talk about something else? Nearly uniformly, members of Forbes Coaches Council say it’s okay to tell a staff member that you don’t know the answer.

The entertainment industry has mastered the art of self-recognition, but it’s not exactly a model for the rest of the world.

Most leaders want to lead an innovative organization. If you are like me, you don’t necessarily have to be the first to do something new, but you don’t want to be years behind either. As conservative as we might be, as long as we remain true to our core values, we still want to be “cutting edge” to some degree. We certainly don’t want to be stuck in the last decade.

Dr. Deming discusses the interdependence of business in: Managing the Organization as a System. For example, in a bowling team each one plays his one solos, on the other hand in an orchestra it is all interdependence. They work together as a system.

Much has been written about how to grow a business. Sadly, however, given the daunting business survival statistics, most businesses never get an opportunity to scale up. They start small and stay small, and many eventually shut down, whether sooner or later. Of those few that do begin to scale, the effort to scale up often fails to last, and the all-too-familiar roller-coaster of life in business heads, or threatens to head, downhill.

Competition between employees is an inescapable part of most people’s work lives.

Managers have a tendency to belittle the people we see as “resistant to change” – the employees who don’t change fast enough. But this bias toward speed and change – and above all, speedy change — belies humanity’s innate, and often advantageous, embrace of a blend of change and stability. The effective executive knows this to be true, and welcomes change into some parts of the organization, while holding it at bay from others.
