There is much to be said about leadership, and there is no shortage of descriptive words one uses when talking about leaders – influential, dedicated, globally thinking, focused, etc. – but how often do we describe leaders as creative? The modern leader has to have a lot of differing traits that all help them do his/her best to lead others and make decisions successfully.

F or years, studies have purported to show that employees stick around not due to compensation but because of meaningful work and being recognized for their hard work. Leaders have extolled these studies. They believed meaningful work and recognition will keep employees around. That’s true. However, there are times when we think we’re recognizing people but we’re not.

I was talking about you yesterday evening. During a delightful (if salty) Greek dinner with another successful consultant, we were talking about your consulting business and what’s holding you back. During the fish course, I said: You know what the number one challenge is that prevents independent consultants from achieving more success? It’s… …the inability to let go.

The best brands connect with consumers and build long-term relationships through carefully crafted and controlled messaging. A logo, alone, is not enough. You see – once a small business has a strong logo, it’s important to bring the brand to life by developing a brand voice. No matter how small the business, putting a face behind the brand and building a brand voice is key to driving the conversation, building relationships, and standing out from the crowd.

This is an encouragement to those who are limping in leadership. I entered ministry after a long career in the business world. I had significant life and leadership experience, but honestly, some of it was learned through tremendously painful experiences. Not only did I not have the pedigree of most pastors, it was actually following a sizable business loss – where we were forced to sell our business and basically start over financially – where God called me into ministry.

“Distance will die,” or so predicted British economist Frances Cairncross, along with a host of social and media theorists, following the spread of the internet in the 1990s. When every place is connected instantaneously to every other place on the planet, they argued, space itself would become irrelevant. At that point, we would not need offices anymore: Why go to work when work can come to you?

When I was in brand management, social media did not exist. But I can tell you this: I would have had a field day with this exciting medium because I valued the power of ‘big ideas’ to infuse growth into the brands under my wing. Frankly, I had no choice, because I’d worked for small to medium-sized companies competing against giants the likes of Nestle, Kraft, and Procter & Gamble.

HBR STAFF. The demand for business travel is gender-independent, but men and women demonstrate different travel habits that impact the bottom line. We know from previous research that women react more strongly to unforeseen events and are more stressed than men when traveling for work. But what about when planning travel? Do gender differences show up there, and if so, how?

The international media has had a field day covering the Spanish prime minister’s announcement , in early April, that he wants to return Spain to GMT and bring the country’s working hours and practices in line with the rest of Europe. Some newspapers in Britain and the United States even went so far as to interpret Mariano Rajoy’s comments as a pledge to do away with Spain’s famous siesta.

Andrew Nguyen/HBR STAFF. How can an organization both exploit and explore ? Managers, consultants, and academics around the world have long wrestled with this question. Some have responded by developing a concept known as “ ambidexterity ,” an organizational capability of fulfilling both managerial imperatives at once. But simultaneously managing today’s business while creating tomorrow’s goes beyond being ambidextrous.

New York recently became the fifth state to pass paid parental leave. Obviously, this action has major implications for U.S. employers, since the United States is the only developed nation without paid maternity leave. It also reflects a growing trend of states and municipalities enacting significant family-related employment-related legislation. A managers’ challenge is how to take these “on the books” policies and move them beyond simple compliance to a place of executional e

Whether we like it or not, markets are reshaping our lives. This time they’re made not of trade agreements — but of bits. Some call them platforms; I’ll call them micromarkets. It’s a truer description of what they are. As micromarkets reshape our lives, they’re also introducing new, or heightening very old , tensions.

steven moore FOR HBR. Every day there’s another article about how all of our retirements are doomed. Public pension promises in the U.S. vastly exceed their ability to pay. We now need nearly $400,000 at age 65 just to cover health care costs. And retirement itself increases your risk of depression by 40%. For many of us, it’s starting to feel like the light at the end of the tunnel of life has been blocked by a triple-bolted steel door.
