If I asked you what qualities a great leader has, chances are you’d mention traits like intelligence, vision, and determination. While these are certainly important to have, research shows that softer qualities like being sensitive to others’ feelings and listening well are just as, if not more so, important. Theodore Roosevelt put it well when he said, “No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.” Being able to care and be in tune with other’s emotions as well

Years ago I watched the movie A Beautiful Mind, the biopic of Nobel Prize winner John Nash. That movie profoundly changed how I walk in the world and how I approach consulting business development. It allowed me to overcome personal demons and thrive as a consultant. Perhaps it can do that for you too. Let me explain: Consulting is a hands-free profession.

Engaging employees in developing their own solution is one of the key ways to generate ownership and reduce resistance. Yet often, change agents are called into a project after the solution has been decided – the software has been selected, the standard process has been developed, or a strategy has been defined, for example – and now your job is to get people to adopt it.

Your organization is going to face a crisis. This is not a question of IF but WHEN. Our world is too complex, markets too volatile, and technology too fast-paced for us to relax into complacency about organizational safety and normalcy. What’s a leader to do? How is a leader to be ready? How can leaders prepare, knowing disasters are becoming commonplace?

I remember meeting with a young man in our church a number of years ago. I had baptized him a few months before and had taken a personal interest in him. I saw such potential in him, and knew he was likely heading towards vocational ministry, so I asked him to serve in one of our ministries as a volunteer. He was delighted at the invitation. Many of the best volunteers are just one personal ask away from serving.

I used to show up five minutes late everywhere I went, believing that the universe generally accepted a margin of five minutes. One day a client and mentor named Nancy looked me in the eye and said something in a kind but no-nonsense way: “Part of the image you are projecting to people is that you are always late. Don’t let it get in the way.” I’ve been five to 10 minutes early ever since.

A common mistake governments make is assuming that a “more digital” economy will equal economic growth. But digitalization does not necessarily translate into growth. For instance, in the HBR article “ Where the Digital Economy Is Moving the Fastest ,” the country with the fastest rate of digital development in the past, and the steepest trajectory for future digitalization, is Singapore.

Incentives are a potent tool for shaping human behavior, but they’re famously tricky to get right. New research , published in Basic and Applied Social Psychology, has uncovered an alarming wrinkle that complicates incentives even more: they may make powerful people less ethical. The study, led by Jessica Swanner at Iowa State University and Denise Beike at the University of Arkansas, involved 250 undergraduates at the University of Texas at El Paso.

Looking for the next breakthrough? Be willing to cross over. Crossovers are what happen when an invention, idea, or body of knowledge in one field jumps into another — and the result is a quantum leap of progress. Sometimes the people and the pieces we need to put together to get the job done come from the unlikeliest of places: The space suits worn by the Apollo astronauts were made not by aerospace contractor Hamilton Standard, as NASA originally intended, but by the seamstresses at ILC

Spurred by new payment models and new incentives, health systems are increasing their commitments to innovation in health care delivery. Unfortunately, many systems are overlooking an entire class of innovations that are modest in size, low in risk, and highly likely to deliver wins for both patients and profits. These innovations take the form of small but full-time clinical teams that are commissioned to redesign and deliver care to a particular patient population.

When Howard Schultz initially proposed to buy Starbucks from its founders, the chain had three stores; he had a plan to expand to 150 stores. Today Starbucks has more than 22,000 stores and is now opening in Italy — a lifelong dream for Schultz. When Leslie Wexner opened his first store, he hoped he could expand to a three- or four-store chain to achieve economies of scale.

For 35 years, I have used the Three Box Solution framework in my work with corporations. This integration of current performance (Box 1) with selective forgetting of the past (Box 2) while creating the future (Box 3) is the foundation of my thinking and teaching about innovation and strategy. Most organizations focus almost completely on keeping their current business healthy ( Box 1 ) rather than discarding no-longer-useful tools and policies ( Box 2 ) or innovating for the future ( Box 3 ).
