Lead Change Blog

Recently I invited three friends to be test readers for the first three chapters of the book I am writing. My ask was to focus only on meaning and clarity. I was both happy and fascinated with the feedback I received. The comments generally followed a pattern similar to this one: on pages 39, 54 and 75 there are spacing errors in a couple paragraphs and some of the layout is weird.
Great Leadership By Dan
DECEMBER 10, 2015
Guest post from Dana Caspersen: I offer a challenge: The next time you are listening to someone during a difficult conversation or conflict and you are tempted to make a suggestion—don’t. Instead of making a suggestion, bring your attention back to what they are saying and why. Listen for what’s important, even if you think you already know. If you feel compelled to respond while you are listening, try asking questions that help the other person unfold their story.

You don’t like to say no, so you say maybe. But saying maybe is more harmful than saying no. You can’t execute on maybe. You say maybe because you falsely believe it’s helpful.

In the CEO Afterlife
DECEMBER 10, 2015
Five years ago, I became a blogger. With 45 years of business experience as a foundation, I began sharing personal reflections and contemporary insights on leadership – fully aware that my content would not matter a damn had I not kept pace with the pulse of the new economy and the changing dynamics of customers and the workforce. One hundred and thirty blogs later, 1 post stands out from the rest, not because it was critically acclaimed or that it generated thousands of hits.
Leadership and Management brings together the best content for leadership and management professionals from the widest variety of industry thought leaders.
Coaching Tip

Education plus experience once guaranteed a successful career, but no more. Today, success depends on your ability to adapt. You must be agile, willing to adjust your professional expectations, and able to respond quickly to opportunities and threats. It's not enough to know how to manage common work/life challenges, you must also deal with the uncommon ones.

It’s here. The future. What will you do? When I present to leaders the findings from our recent Future of Work Study, one slide draws the biggest Ahas. The next five years will be among the most disruptive in business, if not human, history. Everything you know, feel, and do will be Uber’d — you will experience massive disruptions that seem to come out of nowhere – disruptions that can uproot your entire businesses or industry before you’ve finished your morning cup of coffee.

You place a call to get through to the decision maker. You call to find someone who needs your product or service. You try to get an appointment. You analyze names to prospect based on demographics, company size, job title. You’re Playing A Numbers Game. You’re trying to find those 10 leads out of 100 that will even consider a conversation in which you can possibly place your solution – and then you’ll close 5 of them if you’re lucky.

I’ve written extensively about protecting the family in ministry. My wife has occasionally guest posted about the unique role of the pastor’s wife on this blog. Some of the comments I receive are well taken. I am basically asked “ What about the PK’s? Who is looking out for them? Many disappear from the church as adults.” PK = Pastor’s Kids.

Over the past three decades at IDEO, I’ve worked with some of the most innovative companies in the world and seen a lot of creative leaders in action. I’ve paid attention to how the best of them operate — how they nurture creativity all around them — and I’ve noticed three things: They build core enthusiast communities inside and outside of their organizations.

Many of us are familiar with the hazards of Groupthink - when teams or organizations operate on autopilot and feel a general false sense of invulnerability. They wind up maintaining course without appropriately considering emerging risks, debating alternative scenarios, or exploring new courses of action. Groupthink happens because of basic social and interpersonal dynamics that include a wish for group harmony, pressures for conformity, increased commitment to ill-advised or outdated strategies

HBR STAFF. What does Ben & Jerry’s have to do with the Paris climate conference ? No, the company isn’t providing free ice cream to attendees (at least not that we know of). The connection is actually much deeper and more meaningful. Ben & Jerry’s represents a crucial thread of progress that has global implications for business in a world responding to the increasing effects of climate change.

In today’s health care landscape, consultants often advise independent hospitals to merge with a larger health system. The assumption is that a merger will make it easier to achieve economies of scale, develop a large but narrow network of preferably healthy patients, establish data registries, and integrate expensive technology. However, the evidence supporting mergers is uncertain at best.
