Do you ever find yourself sparring (perhaps with your boss) over something you know you’re right about? I sure have. Are there times when people around you just don’t see what’s really going on? This can be frustrating.

T he last 4 years have seen me attempting to conquer a major fear of mine: Heights… Yeah, the man who has jumped out of a plane at 10,000 feet and climbs frozen waterfalls is petrified by heights. That’s one of the reasons for my many crazy adventures. Especially ice climbing along the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Through these climbs, I’ve seen many leadership principles carried out.

Last week, I had two reminders of how important it is to take some time to connect with other people and how we leave so much value on the table when we don’t. The first reminder was when I had a group of corporate leaders in a Developing Leadership Presence program we started last week take part in a transformational listening conversation on what they’re grateful for.

Your work doesn’t always speak for itself. The most skilled don’t always earn the best promotions. Think of office politics as connecting with people for mutual benefit.

Are you healthy? Are you well? Since today’s the 29th day of February, it’s easy to think of it as a throw-away day. It’s also to think of it as an extra day. Either way, how are you taking care.

Most of us spend a great deal of time measuring. We keep close tabs on sales, profits, rate of growth, and return on investment. In many ways, part of being an effective leader is setting up systems to measure everything that matters. It’s the only way we can know for sure how we’re doing. Given our addiction to measurement – and its value – you would think that we would be more attuned to measuring “soft-side” values.

It only took me…. much, much longer than it should have. iMovie is easy to use. I’ve been to about three one-to-one teaching/coaching sessions… Read More What Refresher Classes Do You Need to Take?

I consistently talk to new leaders about the beginning days of a leadership position. In my opinion, the opening days of any job are some of the most important. Apparently others think so also. Recently someone messaged me on Twitter to ask, “What words of advice do you have for a newbie leader? I’m beginning my first pastoring role after years in student ministry.” It has just been a few years ago I was a “newbie” myself.

Guest post by Kim Melton. To put it simply, effective use of Big Data to make decisions depends on each of the four components of The System of Profound Knowledge and the interaction between the components. Big Data has always been around if we think of this as datasets that are larger than our current ability to store and analyze. Each time technology advances to allow for collection, storage, and analysis of more data, we have the opportunity to expand the boundaries of the systems that we can

Organizations sometimes make catastrophic mistakes. And although they try to learn from these disasters, they tend to make similar mistakes again and again. Consider NASA, an organization employing some of the nation’s brightest minds. In 1986, the space shuttle Challenger exploded – and by now, we all know the story. Some people within the organization had concerns with a component (the O-rings) being affected by low temperatures.

A few thoughts about uncertainty … People talk a lot these days about uncertainty with regard to our shared economic, political, cultural, and personal futures. Many speak wistfully of an imagined past time when things were perceived as more certain. Life seemed more predictable and known, and is usually remembered as more pleasant than our current realities.

Andrew Carnegie’s advice in the 1889 essay “Wealth” was to spend the first part of your life getting as much education as possible, to spend the second part making all the money you could, and to spend the last part giving it all away for worthwhile causes. Today, business leaders are not only trying to address community and global problems earlier in their lives; they are also questioning the traditional divide between commerce and philanthropy.

Let’s face it — U.S. marketers spent nearly $60 billion in 2015 on digital ads, but the industry doesn’t do a great job connecting people with products they want. According to Christophe Primault , CEO of GetApp, just 10% of consumers find what they’re looking for when interacting with online content. The key to relevant messaging lies with data, but the challenge is no longer collecting it.
