In this increasingly “more with less” business world, we can’t afford to let our employees be more or less checked out. And yet an astonishing 70% are just that, disengaged at work, according to Gallup polls. It’s almost impossible not to disengage when toiling in the paralysis of indecision. It’s hard to imagine anything more meaning and motivation draining, more bereft of a sense of significance, or anything simply more frustrating.

Great Leadership By Dan

JULY 9, 2015

Guest post from Jeff Wolf: Warren Bennis, acclaimed scholar, author and advisor to corporation presidents said "Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality." Well expressed, but it's easier said than done. What's needed are practical steps to develop a communicable vision coupled with practical steps to achieve employee buy in. Notice that I emphasized the word practical, because unless the leader's vision is easy to understand, believable and clearly stated, even the most imagin

By Guest Author Theresa Oesterreich. As a young entrepreneur just starting out , you may have a great product you wish to retail, or a service you wish to provide. Renting a nice office suite, or a retail unit in a busy shopping mall, will help establish a local presence very quickly. Unfortunately, you also have the expense of rent and rate payments, power costs, and staff wages.

We actually had an email system at my my first job with IBM in 1986. On day one they sat me down in front of a huge green screen and introduced me to PROFS. “This is your PRofessional OFFice,” they said, “and how we all communicate.”. In those days, email lived on a mainframe and could only be sent when you were actually in front of a mainframe terminal.

I talk to pastors and leaders my age and older who want to see a new generation of leaders. They claim to love investing in younger leaders. They recognize the huge need in churches and organizations. Our future depends upon doing so. The problem they claim is either they don’t know how or can’t seem to find them. Or they can’t seem to keep them.

Change is the status quo. Companies the world over realize that success depends on their ability to respond to new opportunities and threats as they emerge, and to keep rethinking their strategies, structures, and tactics to gain ephemeral competitive advantages. As a result, change initiatives have become more complex than ever before, cutting across divisions and functions rather than staying confined to silos.

Photo by Andrew Nguyen. Have you ever been blindsided in a meeting? You adequately prepared. The objectives were clear. But then, BLAM! Someone objects to one of your assumptions about halfway through the meeting and others just add to the objections. You try to explain your reasoning, but no one comes to your defense. Others join in and you feel as if you are at the bottom of a Rugby pile-on.

Six years after the global recession began, many parts of the world are still struggling to achieve growth. For the last decade, Africa’s GDP has been growing quickly. According to the IMF, it’s likely to remain that way for the foreseeable future: The question Africans ask of their leaders now is: Will we grow fairly? Income inequality is challenging the credibility of institutions and leaders everywhere in the world and Africa is no exception.

My favorite Peter Drucker misquotation is, “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.” Drucker wrote a great deal about how managers should measure performance, but this particular phrase didn’t come from his pen. Instead, his measurement advice was linked to his belief in “managing by objectives,” and above all urged managers to “focus on results.” The challenge is that all too often, managers haven’t asked what results they ultima
