'Posted in Leadership Development While obsessive-compulsive disorder may come in handy in some business settings, the ‘OCD’ that employees want most from their leaders is something very different. It’s an obsession with career development. According to a recent study by Lee Hecht Harrison, 91% of employees polled report that career development is among their top priorities.

'Most of us appreciate someone’s honest feedback and opinion about us and what matters to us. When delivered with care, honesty can be a way forward for us, a catalyst to becoming a better leader and human being. Although it may sting for a moment, if we take a deep breath and understand that the honest criticism is being given with our best interests in mind, we know there might be something to learn in what we hear.

Building up is courageous, hard work. I’m complaining about complainers. Fearful: Some complainers are cowards who complain around issues. Fix their complaint and they have another.

'So, you may be asking yourself, “What on earth does checking yourself out have to do with mindful leadership?” Fair question. If, by checking yourself out, we’re talking about sneaking in an admiring glance as you walk by a mirror or a storefront window, the answer is not much. If, on the other hand, we’re talking about the modern day version of what Socrates meant when he said, “The unexamined life is not worth living,” then the answer is a lot.

'“Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit – and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls – family, health, friends and spirit – are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, damaged, or even shattered.

'by Gary Cohen Breaking mental barriers can be a struggle for even the most agile leaders. You spend a lifetime building walls around beliefs and a worldview that gets you certain, predictable outcomes. You stay within the walls of your worldview and you enjoy success. But when you’re confronted by a new obstacle or set a new goal, you suddenly struggle.

'It’s become conventional wisdom that in order to get people excited about the present, you should talk about the future. You should have a vision of where you’re aspiring to go and communicate it clearly to all the stakeholders. Well, the conventional wisdom is true, but the practice is rare. As important as vision is to us, the act of having and communicating vision is mysterious and even intimidating to most.

'When The Who recorded the song Going Mobile in 1971, they had no idea what the future held, nor that they were the predictors of it. They thought going mobile was all about being on the road, and maybe flying on an airplane. But today, going mobile means a whole lot more. Any business today that isn’t going mobile is going backwards. Any business today that isn’t going mobile is losing to a competitor that is.

'Our performance is unintentionally moulded by the influence of average. Every time we compare ourselves to the average in our market, organisation or peer group, we surely settle for less than we may be able to achieve. We have been conditioned in this way and here''s the thing.it leads to mediocrity! Whilst out with a group of retailers recently, I was struck by their focus on store performance being above the average.

'Reflecting upon an internship with Wal-Mart last summer, Daniela*, an MBA student, raved to me about her manager and how much she learned on the job. She was encouraged to keep a running list of questions about how the mammoth retailer''s operations worked, and she discussed them with her manager during weekly calls. Then, whenever feasible, the manager put her in touch with the people directly related to her inquiries.

'Let''s suppose that the typical age of a senior executive is 45-60. The law of averages suggests that their offspring will be 25-30 years younger, so their age range is 15-35.

'One of the safest bets in the corporate world is that a splashy acquisition will end up disappointing. You won''t make money every time you take that bet — Google''s purchase of Android sure paid off, for instance — but the successes are more than balanced by disasters like the merger of AOL and Time Warner, which famously lost more than 80% of its combined market cap over a decade, or News Corp buying MySpace for $580 million in 2005 and selling it in 2011 for $35 million.
