When I first started working with teams, I heard the phrase High Performing Team (HPT) used frequently.

I love working with younger leaders. It keeps me young and it helps to know I’m investing in something and someone who will likely last beyond my lifetime. I also love sharing some things I’ve learned from experience. Some of it hard experiences.

Few disagree that the time is ripe for reimagining complex organizations so that they are more human and more agile. But existing models for how to make the shift seem to offer a choice between a rock and a hard place. Take the thorny problem of developing people. Anachronistic annual performance appraisal systems, everyone agrees, must give way to more fluid and continuous feedback.

But there isn’t a clear indication whether this new information can be trusted. How should you proceed? There is, of course, no simple answer.

“The last thing I want is to be perceived as a power-monger.” That was what one high-ranking executive recently told me, and the sentiment among top leaders is common. The executive who embezzles money, curries favor with bribes, or gets caught in sordid affairs makes headlines and is justly derided. But our 10-year longitudinal study revealed that the paralyzed executive is just as dangerous, and likely more common.

Size is perhaps the most neglected marketing tool. On a search of EBSCO’s Business Source Complete , I counted no less than 1,890 articles published in marketing journals in the past 10 years about price, but only 22 addressing package or service size issues. It seems that marketing managers seldom question the product sizes they’ve inherited.
