Charles want a boat. Once upon a time Charles wanted to buy a boat. He approached his wife, Emma, with a list of personal expenses he was prepared to sacrifice to afford the boat. Emma took one look at his list and was not convinced. She was not on board with the boat idea. Not to be deterred, Charles paused and reevaluated his approach. After some thought he returned to Emma with a new plea.

Guest post by Jeremie Kubicek You are a business owner. Your life is out-of-control, or that is how it feels at times. Some days you are connected with those you love and other days you feel so distant. Other days, you are so productive that you are amazed, while others you feel burned out because of over work. Does that sound familiar? That was my life for years.

Evaluate leaders on their ability to inspire. If I surveyed your team, would they say you inspire them? Any fool can suck the life out of people. Successful leaders aspire to inspire.

I was recently in Costco with my daughter. We stocked up on water, TP, her favorite ice cream bars, that extra kitchen gadget we absolutely had to have (and more things that weren’t on our list), and we headed to the checkout. We stood in line. It was packed. Lots of people loading up their baskets with water, TP, and ice cream bars. Everyone seemingly in their own worlds.

I recently spoke to a person who works at a small-to-mid-size company. There is a bit of transition going on within the company. And a sense of unease, maybe even uncertainty, seems to be felt by some/many, throughout the workplace. And I thought of some pretty “subjective’ realities. Maybe not the kind that are easily… Read More Tone; Mode; Mood – Some thoughts about Interactions and Morale.

There are two parts of the Consultant Wealth picture: your Revenue Truth and your Leverage Truth. I tend to write about the revenue side. And food. Because, well, selling consulting projects is groovy and I live for umami. But once you’re proficient at landing clients, lack of leverage can put a stranglehold on your success. Consultants tied up in an engagement often neglect their business development duties.

During this past summer, Wiley released two new books for leaders and individuals leading HR departments at businesses and organizations. The books are, Lead the Work: Navigating a World Beyond Employment , and Misplaced Talent: A Guide to Better people Decisions. Both are insightful reads. Misplaced Talent was my favorite. That book's author, Joe Ungemah , professes: "I believe we are in a state of misplaced talent.

I have a strong desire to help improve the quality of leadership in churches and ministries, especially among the next generation of Christian leaders.

Theory of knowledge , how we know what we know, is an area that is difficult for most people to understand and see the value of. But it is very powerful and impacts and interacts with all the other aspects of the Deming management system (psychology, understanding variation and the appreciation of systems thinking). Once we accept certain beliefs our psychology then has confirmation bias pushing us to cement these beliefs further (even if the evidence isn’t really their confirmation bias m

“When are we supposed to do all that ?” That’s the question we constantly get from new managers, only weeks or months into their new positions, when we describe the three key activities they should be focusing on to be successful as leaders: building trust, building a team, and building a broader network. To their dismay, most of them have found they rarely end a day in their new positions having done what they planned to do.

A T SOME POINT we all come to see that people are the most important part of any initiative. We get caught up in the tasks, but it’s the people that leaders need to focus on. Dominic Barton , global managing director of consulting firm McKinsey & Company, reminds us of this in an interview with The Wharton School. Talking to CEOs reflecting on their tenure he found that they all said that they would have “moved faster on people … taken people out faster, moved them up faster and spent more t

Walk into any fitness center, health club, or gym in the country and you’ll see yourself. Or rather, reflections of yourself. It doesn’t matter whether the gym is one step up from a cave or a posh Park Avenue fitness emporium — you’ll see mirrors, and lots of them. The mirrors aren’t a manifestation of the customers’ narcissism.

The gaps between what CEOs earn and what workers do are startlingly large around the world. Such uneven wealth distribution has long been a topic of discussion in economic and policy circles, but it’s now increasingly common in the corporate world as well. A 2014 IMF study illustrates that extreme inequality is self-defeating as it slows down economic growth and insights from behavioral economics show that it damages employee morale and productivity, while large executive bonuses have pres

Something seems to have gone seriously awry in the global auto industry. First, highly revered Toyota was accused of selling cars with unintended acceleration problems that the company failed to take seriously for over one year. Then General Motors had a faulty ignition switch that led to hundreds of accidents and 124 deaths. And most recently, Volkswagen has admitted that it added software to its diesel engines to fool environmental agencies into thinking that the engines met emissions standard

Big insurers are taking a break from the new — figuring out how to pay for value, rather than volume, of care — and going for the tried and true: gobbling up smaller insurers. The action thus far involves national for-profit firms, like the proposed acquisitions of Cigna by Anthem and Humana by Aetna. Almost nothing excites Wall Street like the intrigue of M&A, and merger proponents are promising lower costs, better quality, and higher stock prices.

Our dysfunctional relationship with work email has become so normal, I’m not sure most of us can even see it anymore.
