Does this sound familiar? You went to a meeting where you had invigorating discussions, examined alternatives, came up with a cool plan of action, everyone left the meeting feeling motivated, and then six weeks later you get back together. As everyone enters the room and takes their seat, there are sideways glances, “Did you do that thing we talked about?”.

This post isn’t about business per se, but it does have long term ramifications for the marketplace in general, so bear with me. Last night, I realized I REALLY HATE commercials. Despise – Abhor – Loathe – Detest. You get my drift. I know, we all hate commercials — but they have become irrelevant to my viewing habits. They’re just a nuisance.

If you are a leader, you make decisions, large and small, every day. Many are straightforward and take very little time, but if you have been a leader for very long at all, you have had to face a complex, multi-faceted and difficult problem, where the decision was far from easy or obvious.

In case you haven’t noticed, summer is more or less over. As we look back fondly on the somewhat lazier days just ended, it’s a good time to ask, “What did I learn this summer?” One of my big lessons learned is that stay-cations can be fun, mind-expanding and energizing. That’s what Diane and I decided to do the last week of August. The calendar was completely clear which gave us time to catch up on some projects that required extended blocks of uninterrupted think time.

Jolene Erlacher One of the key arenas where generational differences collide is in the workplace. Often older employees view younger colleagues as being less committed and lacking a good work ethic.

In my work with leaders across a wide range of Fortune 500 companies, I often hear strikingly similar frustrations and concerns. Leaders come to me feeling stuck, unable to see a clear path through the dizzying array of challenges amid the incredible demands on their time. At the same time, I see leaders getting in the way of progress, when there are simple communication fixes that could help them achieve their goals faster and more effectively than they ever imagined.

I began this year in retrospect by reading a 60-year-old book on the masters of selling. The book, titled “America’s Twelve Master Salesmen,” was written and published by B.C. Forbes & Sons in 1953. The book was based on the fact that each one of these master salespeople had one extremely powerful overriding principle or philosophy upon which his or her success was based.

Just as brand differentiation helps attract customers, culture differentiation helps attract the right employees. But while it’s popular to focus on corporate culture, not many companies have a truly distinctive culture. This is the equivalent to a marketing department saying, “We need to have a strong brand”—without articulating what that strength will rest on.

I find it interesting to listen to economists talk about U.S. productivity growth – or the lack thereof. It has been a source of much fretting over the years. The 3+%/year labor productivity growth rates of the 1950s and 1960s slowed to under 2% in the 1970s and then to 1.5% in the 1980-1995 period. There was a heartening rally between 1996 and 2004, when growth returned to its 1950s/1960s levels of 3% — a performance almost universally attributed to the efficiency gains from informa
