You’re neck-deep in planning and goal setting. If you’re a people manager, you’re likely meeting with your team to establish performance agreements and developmental plans.

We’re all just hanging around to hear what our death sentence is. Morbid, right? Before you quickly move away to something more, hang in there for a minute. We all get on this ride as a bouncing baby, and move into the carefree years of childhood, the angst-filled era of being a teenager and finally we’re thrust against our will into the world of adulthood.

Y ou’ve probably noticed a sad trend in the world. And it revolves around conversation. Or the lack thereof. Walking into a restaurant, you see it. Husband and wife, both have heads buried in their phones. Frantically texting back and forth. But not with each other. Or a high school party. Boys and girls are on their phones. Texting away. Just not with anyone attending the party.

I’m a sucker for a good story. Most people are. Fortunately, that trait makes selling consulting projects more enjoyable and easier. I use a simple template to craft the persuasive story that I tell consulting prospects. It’s astoundingly effective. The type of story I’m talking about isn’t a tale of your derring-do, or even a case study presenting your success with other clients.

We live in a world of misinformation. It’s not a new world. (Remember the “Snake Oil Salesmen” of yesteryear?) But today, there’s just so many more places to write and say and spread such misinformation.

The global economic turmoil that began in 2008 has taught numerous lessons—the most important one: When leaders make good decisions, little else matters. When they refuse to make decisions or show a pattern of making bad ones, nothing else matters. Corporate leaders should hear this as a clarion call that awakened us all to the fact that we can no longer afford the short-sighted luxury of considering decision-making a passive, pristine process.

In the world of change, I’ve learned there are some common objections. I’ve previously written objections people use to criticize change, but in this post, I’m addressing the root cause of that criticism. These are the secret objections. No one admits to these. But they are real. Very real. In fact, they may be the biggest obstacles you’ll have to face in implementing change.

The new year is here, and for many of us, that means resolutions. At work, it often translates into a vague desire to broaden our horizons or learn new things. But to really make consistent progress, we need to make learning a habit. Habits are freeing because they save us from the difficult, draining business of making decisions and exercising our self-control.

Stories in the media about everything from corporate scandals to political machinations to gangland killings often cite loyalty as a primary driver of corruption. We read about employees who didn’t report misconduct out of loyalty to dishonest colleagues or about a group of employees who embezzled money from the organization while remaining loyal to one another.

Managers tend to view emotions as something “soft” that can’t really be measured. But you can — and should — track emotions quantitatively, the same way you’d track employees’ other attitudes and behaviors: through surveys. There’s a key difference in approach, however. In a survey we’ve used in many organizational settings, people don’t tell us how they feel.

Businesses are dying faster than ever: As we report in our HBR article “The Biology of Corporate Survival,” a recent BCG study shows that one in three firms will be delisted in the next five years for reasons such as bankruptcy, liquidation, and M&A. That mortality rate is six times as high as the rate 40 years ago. Why? Because companies are struggling to adapt to increasingly complex business environments.

On February 14, 2014, Stanford students Elizabeth Woodson and Saul Gurdus drove a rented Winnebago to the San Mateo office of the Golden Gate Regional Center (GGRC), where they greeted eight curious GGRC staff members. GGRC provides services and financial support to people with developmental disabilities in the San Francisco Bay Area. But for parents of children with disabilities, navigating the long and sometimes bewildering bureaucratic process required to get such services often challenges th

Over the past 20 years, information technology and digital channels have changed the way consumers shop for products ranging from cars to homes to electronics. Those forces are dramatically changing the way B2B companies and their customers approach buying and selling, too. Business buyers are more connected and informed than ever before. Sellers must respond.
