Trust me, I’ve seen that look. The #areyouinsane ? look. The #whatplanetareyoufrom ? grimace. The #thischickisclearlyfromH R lament. The #anddoesnthaveaclue freak out.

Like a lot of people reading this post, I’ve spent a good part of the past weekend trying to process what happened in Paris last Friday night (and Beirut a few days before and the apparent bombing of a Russian airliner over the Sinai a few weeks before that). I know that’s not the kind of opening you’ve come to expect in these Mindful Mondays posts, but that’s what’s on my mind as I write this and it doesn’t feel honest to write about something else today.

Excellence is a blessing and a curse. It’s always a noble pursuit. But it can be intimidating as well.

Got a company mission statement? “Yes, Jeffrey. We do.”. Really? Can you recite two words of it? “Uh, no.”. How come? Dude, it’s your MISSION. It’s what is supposed to drive you into the sale — and, create an atmosphere of success. It’s your mission. The reason you’re not following your company’s mission statement, is because you had nothing to do with its preparation.

I’m a huge proponent of moving forward. I’ve never been a fan of remaining in the past. This could be because I’ve had some past I’d rather not remember. It could be because I am very forward-thinking. Either way, and it’s probably the first, I’d prefer to reconcile the past, make the most of it, and get on with my life.

For marketers, truly valuable customer data comes in two forms: thick data and big data. Thick data is generated by ethnographers, anthropologists, and others adept at observing human behavior and its underlying motivations. Big data is generated by the millions of touchpoints companies have with customers. To date, thick data and big data have been promoted and employed by very different people.

At the last big Apple media event, I was left scratching my head. Executive after executive came out, presented a new product or upgrade, and emphasized how new and cool it was. But the leaders giving these presentations? The vast majority, not to put too fine a point on it, were old white guys. They may have been talking about the future, but they looked like the past.

When you ask Lars Sørensen of Novo Nordisk what forces propelled him to the top of HBR’s 2015 ranking of the best-performing CEOs in the world, he cites something very different: luck.” So begins our recent profile of the best performing CEO of 2015.
