Seeing your new team through eyes of understanding

“If one does not understand a person, one tends to regard him as a fool” ~C.G. Jung. Leaders are attuned to the people around them. Sometimes this means that they focus too strongly on the negative in the people they lead.

The other day I met for a coffee meeting with a new colleague. We wanted to better understand each other’s professions and objectives in the months ahead. He was actually in the midst of final interviews for a new job he hoped to obtain, and as he described it to me he suddenly glanced around the room to be sure that no one else was watching us. He then lowered his voice conspiratorially and confessed, “I actually prefer not to be the Number One guy.

Harvard Business Review

Healthcare has become extraordinarily complex — the balance of quality against cost, and of technology against humanity, are placing ever-increasing demands on clinicians.

When Large Companies Are Better at Entrepreneurship than Startups

Harvard Business Review

Big companies starting businesses from scratch has become a big deal. In many cases, these volatile big bets create bigger movements, up and down, in the stock price of a company than its (more stable) core business.
