The fact that you’re reading this indicates that you care, and are trying. Even imperfect development beats what many employees telling me they’re getting–nada.

“Mary, I need some inspiration.”. This is what I heard one day from one of the staff members when I walked into my favorite local coffee shop. I know them well. I’m their unofficial den mother. Looking for inspiration. The word often puzzles me, especially when we are looking to someone else for inspiration. Lists of leadership traits often include the ability to inspire.

W e’ve heard horror stories on how the modern church is shrinking. No one is going to church, or so we’re told. Some of these scary church statistics are true. Image by Jim Lupack. However, the reasons the church isn’t growing like we think it should are not the reasons we think. We’re actually pretty far off base when we come to the reasons people stop coming to church.

(Note: this post originally appeared at the Management Excellence blog, copyright 2015 Art Petty.) Why do we fail with our initiatives (projects, strategy, leadership) in the workplace so regularly when the causes of failure are well documented and the practices to minimize the chances of failure so well identified?

Jesus was specific about what it takes to be a good disciple. This isn’t a guessing game. If we want to mature in our walk with Christ, we should pay close attention. Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” Matthew 16:24. Here are three steps to be an expert disciple: First, we must deny ourselves.

On the ride back from Redwood City to San Francisco, my manager John and I hardly said a word to each other. We’d just left the headquarters of Oracle, and one of my worst sales calls ever. During the meeting, I had done my best to identify specific objectives the company might have that would benefit from our sales- and leadership-training programs.

It happens — we all get emotional at work. You might scream, or cry, or pound the table and stamp your feet. This is not ideal office behavior, of course, and there are ramifications to these outbursts, but they don’t have to be career-killers either. If you take a close look at what happened, why you acted the way you did, and take steps to remedy the situation, you can turn an outburst into an opportunity.

Most people choose their paths, and make decisions along the way, based on their own thinking and counsel from family, friends, teachers, close colleagues, and mentors. While self-reflection and the gathering of advice from one’s immediate circle can be useful, I’d like to suggest a more modern approach.

Do you have an accurate sense of how your company stacks up? Figuring out a company’s relative performance is ferociously problematic. It depends on which other companies are included in your comparison. Just change the peer group, and a laggard becomes a leader, or vice versa. And if a company’s relative performance is in doubt, so are its goals, because the two are tightly linked.

Having a good boss — someone who stands up for you, who buffers you from interoffice politics, and who competently represents your team to the rest of the company — is a wonderful thing. Except when it’s harmful to your career. If you aren’t visible to others in the company, you’re unlikely to have a strong network, expand your influence, and move up in the organization.

The four weeks since hackers had attacked his company had been the most stressful of Jake Santini’s career. Sitting at his kitchen table after another long day of meetings and interviews, the CEO read the e-mail from his board chair again, this time out loud to his wife, Fleura: “It’s the strong feeling of the board that someone needs to be held publicly responsible for what happened.
