If you could wave a magic wand and suddenly make every employee in your organization proficient in one behavior what would that be? Critical thinking? Customer-orientation? Sales? No matter which behavior I consider, I’m hard pressed to come up with one that would be more impactful with just a bit more listening. Listening transforms relationships.

Leadership manifests itself in moments. Defining moments in which we do—or don’t—transcend “me” for “we,” champion good over evil, or take the high road instead of the low one. So many public leadership moments have happened lately that have made me pause. I’m haunted by Donald Trump’s moment in New Hampshire when he forfeited the opportunity to set a good example by correcting the man who made a false claim about the President’s faith.

What is collaboration? In Let’s Stop Confusing Cooperation and Teamwork with Collaboration, I define collaboration as “two or more people working together to create something new in support of their shared vision.”. Collaboration is different from cooperation or coordination in that you collaborate around a shared vision, and something new is created as a result of your joint effort.

. Much has been written, talked about and studied regarding trust in the realm of leadership. Yet very little is said about how leaders can develop it aside from “Do what you say you will do” That’s good advice, but it’s not enough. In the spirit of self-deception, we all think that we’re trustworthy; we may not recognize small signs we give out that erode trust.

As I’ve gotten older, my operating theory has been that each passing year feels shorter because it’s a smaller percentage of my overall life. (I was so excited to see that idea visually represented in a cool article in the Washington Post this year.) That principle has never seemed more true than in the year since my wife, Diane, and I launched my latest book, Overworked and Overwhelmed: The Mindfulness Alternative.

Everyone needs a coach. But, not everyone wants a coach or wants others to know that they need a coach. Some areas welcome coaching. Sports for instance. In sports, we welcome coaching because we need an expert eye correcting our technique, exhorting us to try harder, and reminding us to maintain our poise in the game-day environment of competition.

One of them showed a fellow student how to stand up straighter, thus enabling better voice projection and leaving the impression of greater self-confidence. This student evaluator was in the military, and… Read More 3 Reasons for Peer-to-Peer Evaluation – a Simple, Overlooked Resource for Skill Improvement.

In Brian Tracy 's and Christina Stein 's new book, Find Your Balance Point , they point out the necessity and power of being willing to say these three statements : 1. " I was wrong." - The authors comment that it's amazing how many people make a mistake and do or say something that they know to be wrong, but because of their egos, they cannot admit it.

I was talking with a concerned man recently about his church. He’s concerned the church is wasting a lot of resources and accomplishing little towards its vision to make disciples. They have a large building, a large staff, and a rich history of Kingdom-building, but the building sits empty most days of the week and there is a steady decline in baptisms and Sunday attendance.

Change is coming. Got fear or joy? Got worry or positive anticipation? Putting your head in the sand, or headed to the beach to relax and plan? When you feel or fear that some form of change is coming, you have to define it in your mind as opportunity. Clear your head for “what will be” tomorrow, and not worry about “what is” today. The way this is done is through a combination of faith and belief.

Today, she points out, women are primary breadwinners in 40 percent of households; by 2020 more than one in three Americans will be caring for an elder person; and Millennial men particularly yearn for more connection with and opportunity to care for family members.

HBR STAFF. Brainteasers need not apply when it comes to hiring. Real-world research affirms that interview questions like How many golf balls could you fit into a school bus? “don’t predict anything” and “are a complete waste of time” for employers. Google, for one, no longer uses them. Unstructured interview questions don’t help much either.

The system for paying health care providers is extremely fragmented. In response, both the United States and the Netherlands are now experimenting with bundled-payment models , whereby a single prospective payment is made for all services for a patient with a given condition, even when multiple providers deliver that care. I believe that the ongoing Dutch experience with bundled payments has unique lessons for U.S. policymakers.

Andrew Nguyen/HBR STAFF. A few years ago, I was struck by a study of Disney parks : the company had hired a team of analysts to figure out what kids found most absorbing about their theme park. Was it Mickey and Minnie? Cinderella’s castle? Space Mountain? No. It was their parents’ mobile phones. Because the parents were always staring at them, the kids wanted to as well – even surrounded by spinning teacups, growling pirates, and giant mice.
