“Pursue your passion.” That’s the way to find meaning in your work, right? . Well, “pursue your passion” is the typical phrase thrown around when people talk about finding meaning in one’s work. And that’s not bad advice. Pursuing your passion is one great way of finding meaning and happiness in your work.

Standing out in the marketplace has become increasingly challenging in a world of sensory overload. Because of this challenge, a familiar and trusted brand still has the ability to cut through the clutter.

Solving a problem is often a matter of perspective. Some days leaders feel as though all we do is address problems other people have. It could be a personal problem, a problem with a program, someone on our team, or it could be a problem no one can even identify – we just know it’s a problem. Leaders often serve the role of problem solvers.

From The New York Public Library. I am frequently flummoxed by the complete misalignment between a team’s mandate and the agenda for their meetings. My favorite example was a Corporate Affairs team that had an ambitious agenda to work collaboratively to transform the perception of the organization among members of the public, the regulator, and three levels of government.

You hear a lot about “agile innovation” these days. Teams using agile methods get things done faster than teams using traditional processes. They keep customers happier. They enjoy their work more. Agile has indisputably transformed software development, and many experts believe it is now poised to expand far beyond IT. Ironically, that’s where it began — outside of IT.

Last week we agreed the single, most powerful step you could take to double (or triple) your consulting business is to let go. (See this article.) I proposed letting go of tasks, pride, and certain clients, and readers suggested letting go of fears, offerings and past mistakes, for starters. We need to excise low-value activities, people, thoughts, calories, or whatever other flotsam we have in our lives and businesses.

But although some cultures do like boldness in their leaders, and reward it when they see it, this isn’t universally true.

The auto industry is facing a trio of disruptive technologies: electric batteries, autonomous vehicles, and the mobile phone. The first two have been long-standing threats, relatively speaking, and are embodied in one company, Tesla. Which is why the auto industry’s reaction to Tesla’s announcement on March 31 of its Model 3 is so strange.

Every business is, willingly or unwillingly, a competitor on a software playing field, no matter which sector it’s in. You’re competing against platforms like Uber in transportation, Google in automotive, Airbnb in hospitality, LinkedIn in recruiting, Netflix in television, and the list goes on. In a world underpinned by ever more powerful, affordable, and public technology platforms, software is still king.

Dan Lyons’s book Disrupted is an often-delightful tour through startup culture, based on the author’s experience working at online marketing firm HubSpot. Despite taking the faux-curmudgeonly attitude of an anthropologist exploring the strange world of business dudes — is a sales funnel really that much of a novelty? — Lyons’s dissection of the startup world is warmly humorous far more often than it’s coldly cynical.

Workplace wellness is under scrutiny by skeptics who argue that the return on investment (ROI) in wellness programs does not justify their costs. What’s the truth here? Can wellness programs help employers reduce out-of-control health care costs? The answer, most emphatically, is yes. But we must first go beyond unduly narrow interpretations of ROI (i.e., “claims ROI”), to understand how properly designed wellness programs can help employers lower health care costs while provid
