Have you ever noticed that sometimes life rhymes? Something happens to you that fits together so well with what happens next that (as my editor would say of another one of my other rhyming days) “That story is so tight no one is going to believe it.” But the truth is, our lives are full of true rhyming stories ready to knock a message into our hearts if we can listen well enough to hear them.

Have you noticed that you’re supervising more closely, giving more direction, or spending more time with your millennial employees? It may be that in your efforts to support them, you are providing too much. You may be unconsciously continuing the kind of environment they grew up in – over-structured and over-protected, where failure is not an option – an environment that perpetuates dependency.

In my mid-20s, while in Chicago on business, I had lunch with my former boss at the global consulting firm I had left a couple years earlier. “You’ve come a long way,” Laurie commented after listening to me talk about my recent projects. “You aren’t the young greenhorn you used to be.” “What do you […].

We may well be overcomplicating the language of leadership and business. Poor communication leads to confusion, mixed-messages and a lack of buy-in from our employees.

In addition to Laurie Sudbrink's, Leading With GRIT , being a great new book for leaders, it's packed with powerful leadership and life quotes. Here are some of my favorites: Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are - Kurt Cobain The respect you show to others (or lack thereof) is an immediate reflection on your self respect - Alex Elle You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - Harper Lee People only see what they are prepared to s

The first step in becoming a successful, independent consultant may surprise you. Before I tell you what it is, let’s start with a couple of quizzes. It doesn’t matter whether you get these “right” or “wrong”… it’s just for fun (and reveals how different people think). Let’s start with the answer to Quiz #2.

Your solution matches the buyer’s need perfectly. You like them, they like you, you’ve had coffee/a meal/a powerful meeting or two, and best of all they recognize they need your solution. And then they buy from someone else. Or not at all. Or it takes them much longer than they anticipated. What happened? Are they stupid? Did they lie to you?

I frequently say to our church I’m less interested in where a person has been and more interested in where they are going. I would make that statement about leadership also. The best leaders I know don’t have all the answers. They haven’t got everything figured out yet. Most wouldn’t even consider themselves “experts” in the field of leadership.

At this time of year, as students return to campus, I always find myself reflecting on why I became a professor and the principles I’m about to teach the business leaders of tomorrow. But this year has been especially exciting, as employers have increasingly announced family-friendly policy changes — and as President Obama has just taken a historic step to increase access to paid sick leave for government employees, while also calling for an unprecedented U.S. national paid leave law

STEVEN MOORE FOR HBR. You just learned that you’ve been promoted and will now be managing a team of your former peers — exciting news! That is, until the moment you realize that your good fortune means disappointment for your coworkers who didn’t get the job.

Creative projects that call for collaboration often fail for a surprising reason. Our studies of groups working on design, writing, and R&D projects show they very rarely suffer from a lack of good ideas. Much more commonly, the problem is with incorporating the various ideas into the output. In particular, we found that members of the team who think of themselves as “artists” of their trade — that is, producers of creative output that bears their signature style and succee

Multinational corporations long have looked for growth opportunities in emerging markets. But after the Great Recession of 2007-2009, when developed economies effectively froze in place, their appetites only sharpened. And that hunger continues today. In 2014, according to the latest United Nations estimate, direct foreign investment (FDI) in emerging markets reached more than $700 billion — accounting for over half (56%) of all global FDI flows for the first time.

Ambitious programs to improve the U.S. health care system typically include improving population health in their objectives. For example, that is one of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s “Triple Aims” (along with improving the patient experience and lowering the per capita cost of care). Similarly, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is designed to improve population health in multiple ways, the most obvious being improved access to care.

These days, Tesla is the darling of the automotive world. But many of its strategic moves — A factory in Nevada that will crank out many times more batteries than the company can use? Turning over its patents to competitors? — can still seem quixotic, if not self-destructive. As a former owner of the Tesla Roadster and now an owner of the Model S (and the former chairman/CEO of a large semiconductor company) I have enjoyed the cars but wondered at some of these major “movesR
